It's a lot better than that stupid vice in "Rangiers work shop" with its jaws always falling out:mad:
Very nice work! The welding looks good too.:)

Looks like the long standing exercise for apprentice boilermakers in the Qld. technical education system, and for non-boilies taking welding certificate courses. The screw thread used to be made in small batches by the college machine shops as a capstan/turret lathe exercise.
The Screw Threaded Rod supplied was supposed to be made in the college machine shop in adjacent building , however we got given threaded Rod already bought , the threads on the Rod and captive Nut aren't a match, so the operation of the Bench Vice isn't real Smooth :angel: I was told I could source my own Threaded Rod with a Squarish type of thread from places like Witworths but couldn't be stuffed searching so I used theirs. The Vice still operates okay and is good enough for a Farm shed where it's not getting heavy use out of.:)Quote:
