This is an Indian Chief leg vise, these are common in America and were manufactured by the Columbus Forge and Iron Company. This is a nice, tight vise with basically no slop or backlash which is impressive. This is a tool that could easily keep working just as well for another few hundred years if taken care of properly, how many things produced today will last that long?

I have five post vises, a Peter Wright, a Steel City, and 3 with no markings. I rescued three of tjem from a salvage yard. It's been a joy to restore them to usable tools.

I have one identical to this. My Dad passed it down to me. My Great Grandfather used it working for the Railroad in the early 1900’s. They would cut a tree and attach it to the stump while working in remote areas.

Great video - I just picked up one of these vises, and was curious if you coated it with wax or oil, or something else after you were done with the wire brush?

@LiamJPenn Год назад

I just sprayed it with wd40. Wax would be a good idea though

@jackhintz524 2 года назад

Sweet restoration man, have you considered adding a voice over to describe what you're doing or music?

@LiamJPenn 2 года назад

I have done both in the past. Definitely noticing that voice over gets more views so I’ll be doing that more in the future. I just enjoy mixing it up sometimes so I’m not always listening to my own voice😂

@shannoncook4903 11 месяцев назад

Love it

@jaypearman9528 2 года назад

Oh yeah I agree give us some commentary

@LiamJPenn 2 года назад

I’ve been doing some videos with commentary and some without, those with definitely do better so I’ll be doing more like that in the future. I just enjoy doing some videos with just shop noises sometimes

Please let me know how you were able to tell the age, as I just got one.

Im no expert but from what I’ve read these Indian chief vises were made in the early 1900s. There is no date stamped or anything like that to go off of.
