My name is Barry. I am the recently retired owner of a small service business twenty miles west of Boston.
I have been cleaning my garage and workbench area after 28 years of collecting stuff for work that I didn't need.
As I can now access my workbench, I can start using my vise more often.
It is an OLD Wilton 4" combination vise with serrated 4' plates and the lower pipe jaws.
This vise used to be my father's and I've had use of it for the last 30 years or so. (He passed away in 1960, so I'm thinking the vise is from 1958 or before.}
I would like to replace the plates.
Also, one of the pipe jaws broke around 15 years ago, so I would like to replace either 1 or both of them.
I look forward to seeing all of the information available on this site.
Thank you.

Political commentary isn't welcome here. If you want to stay, I'd get that junk edited out
Please explain your comment. I did not recognize any in the introduction? Was it edited out before we saw it?

Welcome!!!!
