Justin Topp Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I’ve been looking for a leg vise for a while and I found one in the shed after owning the house for two years. Never knew about it. Indian chief 70 lbs 5-1/4” jaws. It was just chilling in the back so I built a stand from it. First thing I used it for was some twist Damascus. Worked wonderfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Crew Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Nothing like finding buried treasure ! just happened to be buried in your shed.

Shed treasure is best treasure Oops this was when I was testing the stand. The print is fine I just forgot to install it in this picture. It was laying off to the side off camera haha. And thanks! thanks Irondragon -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Nice! I’d be digging in that shed to see what else might be in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Topp Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 I immediately went rummaging and found some assorted axes and sledge hammers but nothing else too remarkable. The axes work good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolart Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Are you sure it's an Indian? Looks a like a Peter Wright. I just picked one up last week at a antique store. 95 percent it's a Peter Wright. And it looks a lot like the one you have. (But I am 50/50 on the 95.)

Justin Topp Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Toolart - i am positive it is Indian chief because it has that stamped on the outside face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
