Thank you for this video! I inherited a similar vice years ago and never knew it was a quick clamp type or how that part worked! (so basically I had a really gigantic, vintage, patina loaded hook on the wrong side of the workbench, hahaha!)
When you talked about the condition, I thought “please don’t touch it, it’s perfect” - and you didn’t. Well done. It’s mounted correctly, all you need to do is find some old-timey screws for the front.
@@thedelcodave oh sorry I meant the ones in the back. At 4:30 you talk about countersinking the two bolts that hold the wood on. I have a similar vise and mine has threaded holes in the metal to receive those bolts but the bolts have been lost to time. So I was wondering if you had the same situation and whether you found bolts with the right threads
@@glingglo29 oh ok they were the same number 12 wood screw just longer they were 1.5 inches and thread directly into the table. The back of the vise had a through hole no threads.
