Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes I return it back to the original color, but most of the time not. Most original colors are red, green, or black. I want to make it pop. I also lIke to paint the lettering and lines like on the parker that was posted.

Rustoleum has a "hammered" line of spray paint that really looks good. I my have some pics of other color schemes I have tried.

Yes i do sell. Some I keep. I collect Littlestown, Pa vises and some from Erie, PA (Holland, Erie Tool, Reed). I am beginning to lean towards pipe vises. They are more fun to restore.

Which size of your workbench should you mount your bench Vice?
Left side for Righty's, Right side for Lefty's is what I was told.
Which is correct?

I am a lefty and mount vises on the right about 4” - 6” from the right side and so the rear jaw is beyond the front of the bench.

Here are a few that I did last year. . .

Reed 204, 51 lbs, 4 inch jaw. The handle was "U" shaped and the main screw was bent from over tightening and abuse that followed. I no longer have this one.

This was me experimenting with color. . .

Vises used for sharpening saw blades are common. The John Deere colored one is the largest I have come across. I am not certain what type of blade the other is used on.

I am not good about taking before and after, but I did get this one, a Littlestown 450

I never really considered a vise as something to be restored and be a thing of beauty . I'm mistaken.

Picked this from Hern at the District 8 meeting

The handle had more pitting than I suspected. The rest came out well.

Love pipe vises. They are my favorite to work on. I will finish a Reed No.3 tomorrow and post. You will find uses for that vise if you mount it.
