A nice vise vice
I have a vice for vises. I enjoy hunting down and salvaging old and ugly Stanley 400 framing vises, restoring them to their former glory and making them look beautiful. I cannot resist. Hence, I have a vice for nice vises.
Patented in the 1880s, these vices were produced without design changes for 100 years. They are heavy, made of beautiful ductile cast iron and precision machined.
They're very easy to disassemble, clean, repaint, and relubricate. I like trying various 3-color schemes.
