I'm way late as usual, but about 3mos. ago I went to a garage sale and bought an old rusty vise. I sprayed it with WD-40 and sealed it in a plastic bag. All this talk about a bench vise got me to wondering what I had. All it said was Scout 3 1/2" and other numbers. Lo and behold it's a Wilton according to some web pages when I googled "who made scout 3 1/2" vise." Paid $5 and I'm keeping it.

It comes in quite handy, and the quality is not all that bad. But it sure a'int a Versa Vice.

The restoration of my Parker vise is coming along, with lots of work. I primed and put a coat of paint on it today, and I'm going to do the letters tomorrow. Here it is in primer:



I had painted the screw retaining washer yesterday, so I went ahead and did the letters on that.



And in the meantime, I stumbled onto a Wilton Tradesman with 6.5" jaws at auction nearby. I'm probably going to restore it and then used it for the really heavy work, including some blacksmithing. It's not as nice as yours Ted, but I'm going to try to get it back in shape.



And yes, homelessjoe, when I finish the Parker I'm probably going to sit around, drink a beer and have a good long look at it. (And then get after it, putting the thing to use before you call it an SAV!)

Jim,
You can get new jaws for that at Wilton. Any internal parts it might need as well. There is a guy who sells Wilton Parts on the 'net, but, I don't have the address at hand.
jOe, if you are waiting, my son and whatever spawn he has will more than likely keep my vise in use until not only your grave location is forgotten, but, your little paper weight vise has been smelted into something useful by the Chinese.

Best,
Ted

Adjusting chainline on an old Raleigh:




Nice to have the bike up off the floor and to be able to walk around it. Easy to get the dial caliper on the seat tube and measure exactly where the chain ring rides. If jOe tried this with his tinkers vise, those 2X4s he built the mount out of would cry uncle and fall apart. I use my vise for more and bigger projects than turkey calls.

Best,
Ted
