This is my new repaired legvise, it was all covered by a layer of rust, the handle was jammed and very rusted, the spring was missing, the bracket was missing so I made a new one with scrap steel. The bolt in the joint near the leg was so rusty it took 15 minutes hammering and lubrificating to remove it and clean it. Now it works like charm and the jaws are aligned. After removing the rust with wire brushing a lot, I put a nice coat of black wax.
