Parker Vise Restoration

[Jon Jacobs]

Here are some pictures of an old Parker Vise I acquired with a house I recently bought.

looks great so far. i'm guessing you have the other parts and are in the process of spiffing them up too? i love your shop and must be nice to have a little sandblast cabinet to clean the old stuff off your nice old tool finds.

also saw how you used the back of the cabinet to store your welding rod. do they have PVC running from one end to the other? great idea for wasted space.

looking forward to the rest of your Parker's parts to be posted.

also looks like you are a new member. welcome and you will be a great addition to the Journal threads with a shop and knowledge like you already have.

Thank you so much. I have a small machine shop of my own. The welding rod is actually steel tubes with flanges welded on. I had to make a small brass keeper for the front of the vice which I will also post a picture of, Best Jon
