Thursday I was showing a friend the pics of Rick Fultons ipe bench
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...12#post1101012
because he also used ipe for his bench. Our machineist was passing by and stopped to look. "What is that on the back of the bench?" He asked. I told him it is a patternmakers vise. He said..."I think I`ve got two of them."
Friday morning he brought these in and I bought one and my coworker got the other one. They are a little rough and rusty but some TLC and they will work again. Turns out he purchased some machinery at an auction and they were part of the lot. He knew they were vises but never tried to use them.
Has anyone here ever totaly disssassembled one and restored it? Advise please. Thanks in advance
