Back with another rescued Vice...

[PDXDave]

I saved another one from certain destruction here in the scrap yard.
This one is a very complete and intact Columbian model 43 1/2
I only have one of the removable pipe jaws, but I feel like I can probably source another one.
Under all the scale and crust, she's in really good shape, so unlike my last Wilton, this one will get a complete cosmetic restoration along with a mechanical freshen up.

Light duty homeowner grade vise.

Light duty homeowner grade vise.

Yup.
I'll restore it for my hobby room, but it's no replacement for my vintage Wilton.
I'm just doing my part to keep these out if the shredder

Thanks for saving that one! I found a similar home owner-type vise at my local salvage yard, cleaned it up and gave it to a buddy of mine who really appreciated it.

 

[PDXDave]

Well, I still need to find some jaws for it, but I got it stripped and painted.
I think it turned out ok.
A darker color would have made the bare metal portions pop a bit more, but I figured I'd do something a little different with the GM charcoal metallic grey this time.

Lookin' good!
