My old neighbor called me over one evening after I had done some emergency repair work for a customer beside my house using my service truck.

He took me to his garage and asked me if I had any use for some OLD JUNK IRON he had in his garage, he really needed the storage space for something else.

I told him I would find a use for it somewhere.

Old Junk Iron can be quite useful sometimes.

One mans junk is another mans treasure !!

That's one nice emmert, friend. Can you go back and scrounge up the tilt bracket?

Matt, its not an Emmert, its a Columbian and the brkt is mounted on a small WW bench I have.

Now that is COOL! Wow, I'd love to run across one of those. 'Course I'd have to build a much larger bench to mount it on than any of my existing ones, but it'd be just the impetus I'd need to git 'er done. I've never seen a vise like that before. I like it. (can ya tell?)

Very nice score. I love those kinds of deals.

A pattern makers vise, to some the ultimate wood workers vise of all time.

Would you believe frock or trouser patterns.

molding patterns like for casting shapes of cast iron, aluminum etc
