Update.
Pipe vice.



Stand waiting another wire brushing and some paint. Black.
Don't care it is not original, I have Black. I will use black.



The Vice is now happily in a de rusting tank, in bits.
Hot oil bath and a bit off Hot spanner and it was in bits.

Paint, not black. We will see.

From a nice old guy who comes into the shop.

I can see some projects happening soon.

I'd like that 'milling on the lathe' book!

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The Backyard foundry is a good book.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

It moves, it is not painted.
The black junk is grease.

I am not doing any more. the vice, the stand will be donated to my Men in Sheds

I have a pipe vice or 2.

More beaten than beater, I reckon..

the top looks straight. Backboiler any good? Has someone actually painted the enamel with cream paint ands it's a red one underneath?

Its cream with what looks like gloss over the top. wont take much to clean it back. looks like the top has been taken off and not put back properly, havent got the boiler out yet. The tin back is shot but the oven looks ok.

Should restore well, I can vouch for the firebrick kits from midland cooker spares on ebay, they are a good fit and are quite good quality.
