First post and first post vise in one.
Picked up a crusty 5.5 inch vise on Kijiji. Seller thought it might be a Peter Wright but there were no markings on the box. After cleaning it up I found a maker's stamp Attwood Best Stourbridge on the front vise arm. I paid $250, so I know it's no steal, but even so, it was better than what seems to be the going rate around my neck of the woods for vises.
Spent a few hours scraping and wire wheeling a healthy crust of dirt and rust, quick coat of oil and lube and she's ready for me to figure out which stand/mount works best for my shed.
Thanks,
Sheldon
