Nice, Jim! I like vintage stuff too, just because its vintage. Great job cleaning up the old ones. I need to do the same with the Reed I bought. I will when it warms up and am also going to make a set of custom 4 lead jaw covers for it when it warms up. My local gunsmith who is deceased now made me a set for my larger craftsman and I use them religiously when I place an action in the vise. Since hes gone now, I need to make my own. I need to fabricate a form to pour the molten lead into to make the jaw liners. I think Im going to fabricate the form from angle iron so theres a right angle. I think I have a plan.....Im thinking when I pour the molten lead into the angle iron form, the metal form needs to be hot so the lead will flow nicely and fill the form without having defects, but Im not sure on that? Anyway, thats my plan.
