December 18, 20223 yr This was in a garden and I got it cheap, I couldn't leave it, its got nice wide jaws and is not worn out, I have already made a spring, I can copy the mount from one of my other vices, I would like to find some Iron to forge it from so everything matches.
January 6, 20233 yr Nice, I do not like to see perfectly serviceable tools used as ornaments. Nice the threads seem to be in good condition. I also "saved" a leg vice from a garden ... Did you get the fly wheel (used as a base) as well? We like pictures, so, show us the progress of your work.
February 11, 20233 yr Author I got x2 of those flywheels, the drill press had one under it S a base to. Cleaned up the vice, was a super dirty job cleaning the threeds, at some stage soon I will forge a mount with the keys.
