I finished this restoration yesterday. It's a 1946 Wilton No 4, 4 1/2" bullet machinist vise.

Here's what I started with.

Very nice job Doctor! I really like the accent highlights on the characters.

Briggs, rod snapped right at the wrist pin.

That's very nice Brad. The question is, did you port it?

 

[Mastermind]

No Dan, a few of them are for saw builds, 1×199 and the 182 is shaft swap project, always wanted to try them out on 262 and 242

Believe me, I ain't happy about it...

Does it have transfer on the crank and a smeared rod?

A new to me vice. It was my old neighbors who passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. Its nice to have it as a reminder of him. He was a great guy.

Yeah, I know what ya mean. The old guy (and his wife) across the street got moved to an old folk home a while back. I helped him many a time and had seen the inside of his garage often. When they were packin', I walked over and asked for these as a reminder. They always caught my eye. Just a small reminder of a good neighbor. They were more than happy to oblige.

My wife's grandmother passed away a couple months ago. She had hoarded a lot of stuff as some people do. The uncle had been cleaning things out but most of the garage stuff had largely gone untouched since her grandfather passed in 1998. The uncle finally got things manageable and asked if we wanted to come over and go through things. She got an ancient doll she always liked and a few mechanical clocks and some furniture etc...

I got grandpa's old craftsman tool box and his old bench vise. The box fit right on my red bottom box nicely. The vise is really neat and marked made in England on the other side. Here's also a pic of the junky little vise I had that came with my house. Grandpa's old vise will not be restored, it's just fine as is. Anyone have a guess as to the age of this vise or the craftsman box? The drawers are really solid and sturdy.
