Are you kidding ?
Here's my show & tell for the day. There were only a couple of tiny nicks on the vice which I touched up with a file, and then painted it with my diminishing supply of "One Shot" sign painters paint. The metal label was removed as I don't like anything distracting. This is a good tool, and am glad the vice was treated very well by its previous
owner; and cheers to who ever it was.

That's absolutely spiffing.
I see someone's fixed the Flux Capacitor......
best vise
well spotted yes there is one bolt missing, it is fixed, down at two points the bench top is an old door so I have it in the best position to get two good fixing points, will rectify when I can get hold of an old bit of worktop, it originally stated out as a tempory bench top solution three years ago lol, and yes dad would tell me off for not fixing it down correctly, but can we take it you fix it nearer the edge of the bench when in use?
Yes, but if i move it forward I would only have one bolt securing it down as it is the edge of an old door, hard to describe without seeing it.its set back to far if its already bolted down u need the back jaw of the vice slightly overhanging the bench so long ish materials will fit up in to the vice
Right, I went back up the shed and realised if I moved the vice to the middle of my door bench top I could move it forward into the correct position, I even found the original bolts dad had it mounted with, see image, thank you guys for the kick up the a**e to do things properlyYes, but if i move it forward I would only have one bolt securing it down as it is the edge of an old door, hard to describe without seeing it.
