Researching leg vise history


Frank Turley

Recommended Posts

Very interesting Frank. I have a small (4") leg vise that came to me without the spring and mounting hardware. The mortise was there of course and I made up what I needed to mount the vise. It was also missing the wedge for the pivot beam pin. The screw and box are not in very good condition but I have used it for a couple years. I never realised it might be as old as 1800. I have not found any markings on it.
