Picked this up for a bargain £30 from eBay
A nice wee blacksmith's post vice and stand. Quite a bit of work to do though.
I need to figure out if there's a wedge missing that would explain the leaf spring being loose and not pushing the jaws open.
Anyway, step one - take it to bits
The bolts holding the top bracket on will never release their nuts so I'll grind them off tomorrow.
Now what about getting the rust off. A 5l bottle of evapo-rust costs as much as the vice did so I'm thinking of a vinegar/salt solution unless anyone's got a better idea?
