Inspired by the awesome chainsaw thread, I thought we could talk about bench vises, another great stirrer of passion and emotion.

In my workshop I have two Chicago-made Wilton bullet vises, a 3" and a 4". In addition, I have an Ohio made original Versa Vise.

The 3" Wilton I found in terrible condition and did a full restoration on it.

What do you own?
 
3.5" MADE IN USA CRAFTSMAN. NEEDS A LITTLE WD40.

I don't drink booze or smoke or gamble. The only loose women I chase is the one I inflate. Haven't got past third base. Still waiting for her to say yes.

My bench vice is a heavy duty affair bought from Canadian Tire. Probably made in China. A vice is a vice is a vice.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
