Simple vice mount.

[Frank S]

We have been doing some much-needed housekeeping in the shop lately. Whenever I get one of those errant hair growing in a dark place I start doing things like mounting collet racks on the wall, finding places to create a place to hang combination wrenches Mounting shelves and making a work bench O finding a vice that needs to have a place to be mounted so it can be put to use.
The vice itself is to put it mildly a piece of garbage in its present form, even if it does have the word Wilton cast on it I suspect it is even lower quality than most things brought over on a boat.
here is the mount I welded it to the leg of my tilting layout/ fixture table.


One of these days I should resurrect and completely restore 1 or both of these old vices 1 is a very old USA made Wilton the other is an old Printice made in New York I guess that could almost qualify as made in the USA LOL

Wow, those two old vises are well with restoring!

My thoughts exactly
neither is frozen up but both need a lot of care
