Checked craigslist at lunch today and saw a woodworking vice. Old, dirty, and priced right. Sent an email, got a call immediately. Went and met the gentleman that was selling it and he offered me this one for 10 dollars more. So for 45 dollars I picked up this vice and he threw in a small folding work table. Quick release as well as old, american and in great shape. :D 118595118596

Nice! I like it and have one I've used for 20 years.

Was going to repaint it, but started scrubbing it up a bit with a soft wire brush and the finish is good. Just need to clean up the raw metal and refinish it. Need to add a bit of lube to the quick release and polish up the sliders. Oh and also start building my new bench. The old sheet of plywood on a 4x4 frame is a bit big and not solid enough. This one will be a glued up solid pine 3'' thick by 32 deep and 72 long.

Glue it and peg it too, and you can give it to your grand kids.
