Is this the greatest vise of all time? You can see more of it in action on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/handtoolrescue/

Its nice but i still prefer using my teeth!

This thing is so freaking cool! Loved that you managed to add the missing jaw, we need to preserve this for future generations

this vice is one of the most elegant tools I have ever seen.

As someone who doesn't use vises, I can count on one hand the number of times I have said "that's a cool vise" and this one is now number 1

The amount of machining to make this thing to begin with blows my mind. I'm not a machinist at all but it's crazy to think about all the steps and different tools and even the order you would have to go in to make each individual part that is DOVETAILED into eachother

Well that's beautiful.

You can keep your sitcoms. This is genuine entertainment here, as well as being educational, inspiring, and astonishing. And even humorous at times. Just the amount of handwork is unbelievable. The precision with which this vise was made, as well as the precision with which it was restored is hard to believe.

This vise has literally made me weep. It is beautiful. If I had a tool like this in my life I would talk to it everyday. Thank you for restoring it and making it whole again, I feel our grandparents and great grandparents are relieved.

My background was in tool and die making both out on the shop floor and as a designer in the drafting room and this is the first time I ever saw a vise this amazing. To think that this vise was designed and machined back in the early 1900's speaks volumes of the skill of the craftsmen. The restoration on this vise it top notch. So nice to see a treasure like this given a second life.
