Here's my show & tell for the day. There were only a couple of tiny nicks on the vice which I touched up with a file, and then painted it with my diminishing supply of "One Shot" sign painters paint. The metal label was removed as I don't like anything distracting. This is a good tool, and am glad the vice was treated very well by its previous

No!

owner; and cheers to who ever it was.

This is my vice, it is the very same one i stood at as a boy, 6-7 years old, where my dad taught me how to file steel etc, I would never part with it and i know he is always with me in the shed when I'm making things, looking over my shoulder telling me when I make a b**lz up, last used, this morning

, but can we take it you fix it nearer the edge of the bench when in use?

well spotted yes there is one bolt missing, it is fixed, down at two points the bench top is an old door so I have it in the best position to get two good fixing points, will rectify when I can get hold of an old bit of worktop, it originally stated out as a tempory bench top solution three years ago lol, and yes dad would tell me off for not fixing it down correctly

its set back to far if its already bolted down u need the back jaw of the vice slightly overhanging the bench so long ish materials will fit up in to the vice

Yes, but if i move it forward I would only have one bolt securing it down as it is the edge of an old door, hard to describe without seeing it.

Right, I went back up the shed and realised if I moved the vice to the middle of my door bench top I could move it forward into the correct position, I even found the original bolts dad had it mounted with, see image, thank you guys for the kick up the a**e to do things properly
