Being pretty doesn't make them do the job any better. :)

Great work!

I do love it when an old worn out piece of kit is brought back into use.

One of mine looks possibly worse that the first picture! It still works but a little stiff - it will get clean up though,


Are those new faces or the old ones refurbished too?

Nothing new - just the old faces cleaned up, a fine file to clean up the checkering and skimmed a few blobs of weld of of them. The original plan was to turn them upside down but the screws didn't line up. Needed an impact driver to get a couple of the screws out.

So, now I will have to sort mine out sooner - yours makes me jealous!


However, in my new workshop I have 2 record vices to fit - one a woodworking one that goes under the worktop, and a 3 1/2" 2VS which has a rotary base. Both need installing. They cost me about £10 & £20 in the Record shop in teh Peak District (a few years back) and are both Made in England!

This is the larger 6VS
