Workbench and Vise purchase.......

[Barry Tucker]

I saw these listed in the local free ad paper and picked them up today, an old workbench with cast iron base, it also came with the Hollands 14 1/2 vise.

The vise was removed for transportation. I also bought a second workbench that I have to go back for. While I was picking these up the owners brother in law stopped over to help and said he had a better vise than that for $20.00. I saw a Charles Parker vise on the floor and was looking at it. He said his vise is the same as the one on the floor, but in better condition. The one on the floor didn't look bad at all. So tomorrow I will go back to get my other workbench and possibly two more vises and one more workbench. I really like the cast iron bases. I'm sure people are wondering about a price. I paid $60.00 for this bench and vise and $40.00 for the one I have to go back for. Regards Barry

I believe that qualifies for a "YOU ****!"

Nice find! Your not anywhere close to Houston are you because I would snag that other vice!

 

[skeletonizer]

Awesome find. Sadly a lot of stuff like this is being scrapped these days.

Severe suckage..

I love the legs on the work bench! A media blast and some powder coat and it would be my base for my new dining room table.

Great deal on the vises also.................YOU ****!

YOU ****!

 

[SweetD]

Are you KIDDING ME???

AWESOME SCORE!

 

[Outlawmws]

ps: Make sure you post before and after cleanup pics, and I see the legs can taka another lower shelf. More coolness!

I picked up the two other workbenches, but I was only able to score one Chas Parker vise, a 974.

I'm pretty happy about my deal. Regards Barry

Put some recycled lumber on top and sell those as dining room tables. The industrial look is a big deal right now. You could easily get 750 per table.

 

[Kevin54]

Yep....you definitely ****!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[countryroad82]

Major suckage is what I say!!!

 

[lwlobo]

Wow, I love those cast iron bench legs. And the Parker vise with the wrench, great score (want to sell?). Nicely done!

Why would he need recycled lumber? They are topped with it already!

 

[Jawn]

Epic suckage on your part, sir.

Nice find!

 

[venturesomerite]

Nice, I really like those tables.

 

[lineman88]

Any estimate on what those things weigh?

 

[JASTECH]

You get the vacuum award!
Dinning room table? No, paint it, add matress and sell it to a Jenny Craig noob for a bed!

Very nice, I would take them off your hands when I get moved to Texas.

I'll probably keep it and give it to a son in law. Regards Barry

 

[Barry Tucker]

Approxomately 100 lbs per leg. Regards Barry

I finished cleaning up the vises and gave them a quick shot of spray paint. The Parker is Rustoleum Hammered Brown and the Hollands is Rustoleum Army Green. I need to paint the lettering on the Hollands Rustoleum Putty. For some reason I like that color combination. Both vises were in good shape.
