Got this nice little vice the other day.
A novel little thing.
No makers markings, the only stampings I found was the following.
It did not take paint very well.
In the end I used some all in one metal paint.

Made is overstating it, I have assembled a new fleet of mowers from parts and collections various and diverse. Thank you very much, you know who you are. Hayterette has a new engine, needs a better blade which will happen at some point. Suffolk has had an engine swap, starts very nicely and is learning to obey commands... both have just cut their first lawn in quite some time. Its what Sundays are for.

Unless I find or some one shows me a link.
I am calling it Vincent the Vice.
Then using it to hold fire extinguisher head valves to rebuild them.

Small, but an enjoyable restoration/rebuild.
Little or no information on this Signal lamp.
I am guessing it is American for the 2 following reasons.
One, the brown paint, it is similar to the brown paint found on WW2 american equipment. Plus the operation on the toggle switch.
Up was on, down was off.
The cables were brittle and broken. But at that time the switch tested out as working.
Recabled,new bulb and a new switch.
The old switch had a intermittent fault. This led to much heads scratching.
The metal was T Cut and waxed, what little rust was removed. The switch was fitted to be in the usual Down is one orientation.
Now to find some information on this item.

Some improvised gas burners and and improvised kiln to shrink some 325mm idx130mm wide steel tyres onto some wheels. Thanks to a couple of forumites for the use of some firebricks. Worked an absolute charm.

Yes. Out of some scrap fittings I found in a skip
Just turned an adaptor with 3/4”bspp on the outside, 1/4”bsp one end, M6 the other for a 0,6mm mig tip to screw in. Chopped up a 3/4” bsp fitting to make locknuts. Nothing to it.
Finally topped off the greenhouse bench with some heavy duty grp grillage:
And planted tomatoes, peppers, French beans, and radishes, as well as a tray of seed potatoes for chitting. Also put the windy twisty thing back in the garden after fitting new bearings and giving it a spray with clear lacquer:

@The_Yellow_Ardvark How does your vice handle defy gravity?

I can get some more pics next time I'm making one.
Theres not a lot to them, basically weld a 30mm strip round the back just in from the edge, this holds the design off the wall and gives the surface for sticking the LED strip onto. The strips Ive been using are able to be battery operated or ran from a usb plug, they dont come with a usb plug though.
