Wilton Bullet Vise.

I found it under the bench at my late father in laws. I've been restoring it over the last little while. Spent about 1.5hrs polishing up the handle. Not much more to go before it's done.

Great find and nice job

Steve, you did way too nice of a job on it! Now you will need another one you can beat on and pry on... And now I mention the torch... And the angle grinder... Geez, it's worthless!

The before and after pics say it all...

Really nice restoration, Steve! All your hard work turned it into a work of art and I'm sure your FIL is smiling right now.

Very nice restoration. Loved seeing the before and after pictures. The vise sat under the bench for decades. I love seeing an old tool getting a good second life.

Did you machine off the anvil then polish it, I assume it had some dings on it.
Turned out to nice to use, good job.

I have others, you can see the one in the video that I was using. That is my beater.

I think it was a few decades. It was stuck solid when I found iit, ended up beating out the movable jaw with a sledge hammer and aluminium, figured out that the keyway and key were burred and stopping it from coming out. I think that is why it sat for so long.

Milled, filed, sanded and polished.

Nice job , really like the paint job. That little engine looks like an old Clinton but could be an early Briggs ..
