5" Wilton boys, if you've been waiting, here's your deal. Cannot ship, apologies. In great shape. Already got it down to bare metal, cleaned and degreased it inside and out, lubed it up et voilá. I took a few thousandths of the top and sides of the jaws just to clean them up (not reflected in...

I think they're from the 70's but maybe y'all can tell me. Some of 'em don't look like they've ever been used. $125 OBO St. Louis Pick up welcome Shipping is on you

Time to move her along. $500 for TGJ folks only. In St. Louis. I believe it's complete, in great shape for it's age (besides questionable paint work sometime in it's past) rotates smoothly although I have not gone through it. Price has to be firm, I have it for sale locally for much more.

FS in StL. I have 4 vintage Equipto workbench drawers. They are the "legs" of the workbench. All in good shape, all cleaned and lubed ready to go. All drawers slide well and lock individually. OEM green. They have some label residue on them as I didn't want to scrape on them, just need some goo...

So I picked up an old workout bench at the curb, the thing turned out to be beefy as hell. Couple that with a salvaged treadmill and I've got all the pieces for a small shop crane. I have the design down except for the lifting mech. I have a 6 ton bottle jack that'll serve the purpose. Take a...

For sale in St. Louis. $75 Joint-abili-T 8ft matched edge jointer. Deal of the day if your in the mood for one a these.

No idea what it is but someday it's gonna be a vise stop.

So some may know, I've been gathering equipment, tooling et al for an upcoming shop build. Found 6 of these on CL with an all metal Tennsco bench. I haven't seen these type of Equipto drawers. Anyone familiar?

There is a guy on StL CL out of Staunton Ill. He buys all kinds of machinery and vintage stuff. I dunno his name or anything other than that BUT I do know not that long ago he posted a picture of a pile of Wilton (and other) vises. And I mean there were what looked like 20 or 30 of 'em. Said...

So I found a Kennedy box on marketplace and bought it as I have had trouble finding riser boxes at a decent price (and boy was this a decent price). I thought the handles may have been replaced as I do not remember seeing and Kennedy boxes with handles such as these. In all of my digging, I...

I have a NOS never installed 4" riser for a Delta bandsaw. Everything is there but a longer blade. Here is what I found; Dbl check the heights if its critical, I copied that description but was advised its 2" off. Selling this for a friend, dunno from wood saws. I work in a proper material...

Never thought I'd be the vise posting guy but here's my 3rd. Found in a woodworking shop just now. No markings as I can find. Style of it is pretty old. Jaws are 1.750. Anyone have anything?

So an old friend asked (allowed) me to deconstruct his Father's woodworking 2 car garage. Here I am in a 40yr pile of woodworking stuff I know very little about. Most I can find on Google but I've come across what I can only describe as a precision tool post for a wood lathe? See pics please I...

This warranted its own thread. Anyone have any ideas? Haven't taken it apart but I can see no mark. The man had a collection of jewelers lathes. Also a Niagara sheet metal equipment horde. More pics to come.

Once again seeking pre-purchase advice since y'all helped me out so much on the vise front. Have an opportunity to purchase a vintage Niagara Bar Folder. Seems like a very cool old device but I'm broke as a joke and while I've secured a whopping $600 off their asking price I'm "thinking" it's a...

So I've recently acquired an early Wilton No 4. We know it's early from the patent pending and fish hook logo design as well as the acorn nuts on the swivel base. In my research after the purchase I learned of the date code mystery- date of manufacture or date of warranty expiration. Now, and...

Recently received some invaluable advice here regarding the purchase of a vise. VERY grateful. Seems like a good group of folks. I'm in StL and took lockdown as an opportunity to put together a small machine shop in my Father's garage. Kinda lookin' over him so I'm here more than I'm not...

So I passed on a chromed Columbian Vise and found this the next day. From what I can find it's an early version of the Patent Pending No 4. It has the acorn nuts on the swivel and not the "brake shoes". Also the Wilton is cast completely horizontal and not in an arc. Bottom says 2-945. I've...

So once again, something I've never seen, even after scrolling through 1000's of pics of vises. Went to buy an enameling oven (to heat treat metal) which came with HUNDREDS of bottles of enameling powder and the tools whatnot to enamel any and everything and lo and behold there, on the floor...

One on the right, cover flips up and back.
