My Wilton find

[howsths]

I just wanted to show my before and after of my 5" Wilton model 1645. I found it at a flea market for $100. Some may say I paid too much. I kinda think I may have, but it was in great mechanical condition and suits my needs.

Yup some might but I sure don't think so. That turned out excellent!

Any old vise around me is over 100 don't matter brand.

Turned out great, A vice is worth what you are willing to pay for it. So yes it is worth the Hundred dollars.

the paint looks great; which paint and how did you do the lettering?

 

[howsths]

Thank you. Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green. For the lettering I cut a narrow strip from a foam brush and sprayed the silver from a rattle can into its cap and lightly dipped the foam. It just takes a light touch to apply.
