Default Vise Restoration

Not exactly the type of restoration we are used to, but recently I couldn't pass up the opportunity to upgrade my daily driver. My old fixed base Parker 953 1/2 vise served me well, but when a 974 swivel base vise came up for sale I had to jump on it. Like most vises it needed some TLC. We stripped it down, cleaned off the old grease, blasted off the old paint, primed and painted with a hammered rustoleum which held up quite well on my 953 1/2. Managed to find an original No 2 swivel wrench. Here are some shots of before and after.
