ALL: The members of Garage Journal have always wanted a directory of vises to call our own since we have most of the vises made in the vises of garage journal thread. our vise company list made by the members in post #2 of Vise Repair 101 is probably the longest vise company list in the world.
so with the help of the members i'll add new companies we might have forgotten or missed and also try to account for all the models that each maker produced. my plan is to take up the first 30 posts as sort of a directory with a list of all the companies in post #2 and then in the following posts have some of the bigger vise companies with all their model #'s. alongside each model # will hopefully be a post # that has pictures of that particular vise either that a member owns or one we found online or on somebody else's bench.
i'm willing to listen and change things up a bit to make it work better for all of us so to start off i'll have this post and 49 more to get started.
thanks in advance to all the members like me that really like these fine old tools from around the world.
SEE POST #51 for more directions about posting vises, catalogs and vise company information. here is the post so you'll have it to read here before you post.
ALL: This thread is being designed to be a reference for all vise companies in business prior to 1970's and all their versions and models of vises they made. before posting your vise can you please check to see if one is already posted. If there is already a nice one posted then please post yours over on the vises of garage journal thread, but if there is an unrestored or broken vise posted for lack of a better one and you have a nicer one then please post yours with pictures from all sides.
Also if you are one of the members that has a list of a certain company's entire production line to post please do and i'll put a note of the post next to that company's name in post #2 as well as possibly taking up one of the reserved posts that begin this thread.
if you think we are missing something or can improve to make it better or easier to read please PM me. Since we have a 50 page directory already saved yes we are allowed to discuss vises and other fun stuff because this is for all of us to enjoy.
thanks in advance
