If anyone has an extra $3500 lying around, I'll be willing to pick this up for you just to see it in person. https://cnj.craigslist.org/tls/d/bloomsbury-wilton-machinist-vise/6933391952.html

I was saying it as a positive thing, didn't mean to sound offensive.

JB Weld is for vises what Bondo is for auto body. I'm also looking for an entire swivel base nut assembly for a Reed 204R (not sure if it's the same nut for other models as well). Any help on where to go?

That's some top shelf stuff. I can only afford the Vinegar and PB Blaster mix. I got some parts from tractor supply co that I'm going to throw together to get something close to this. Thanks for the inspiration

Anyone have any suggestion on how to make the "tool" he makes in this video @ 1:15 to open his seized vise? I'm having the exact same problem with my Morgan 140 and I don't have an entire machine shop to fabricate this. I looked for something off the shelf at home depot that I could throw...

Finished this Dunlap 506-51770 today. It looks a lot better than it is. PO beat the **** out of it. Also, one of the jaw screws is completely sheared which the seller failed to tell me. I don't have the energy to drill it out and retap the hole. Not worth it. I have to save my energy for this...

MayerMR Thanks. I live in NJ but I couldn't pass up the name once I saw it was still available. I'm dedicating an entire vise's paint job to this name and to use as my avatar. Should be arriving next week and I'll get it together some time after the 4th. I'm hoping it's so bad it's actually...

3 cans, black white and red. Spray it black Dry Painter's tape stripes Spray it white Dry Painter's tape stripes Spray it red.

Smitty if you don't paint this thing like Eddit Van Halen's Frankenstrat I'm going to be dissapointed.

Who do I make the check out to?

Buy it, scan it, return it.

The frankenvise is practically a piece of industrial art. With the right provenance you can double your money.

The vise has had the swivel jaw broken in several places and when a puddle of braze didn’t work they decided to bolt it back together. I must admit it’s kind of interesting to look at That actually looks pretty cool tbh. The asymmetry of the bolts really sells it.

Thanks Shiftless. No I don't live in FL, I'm in NJ I just saw that the name was available. I'll 100% paint one of my smaller vices coming next week the "Solo Jazz" pattern. <img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/avatar_f343e976ad04_128.pnj">

Hey all. Been lurking on here for a while now. Finally finished my "starter" vise, a Dunlap 5244. Learned a lot between working on this and the advice here. Now I've got a rusty project in my back seat and two more in the mail. Thanks for my latest <s>addiction</s> hobby. Here's the album on...
