    It's a lot better than that stupid vice in "Rangiers work shop" with its jaws always falling out

    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 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.

    Next year , I'll machine all the parts on the milling machine and make my own threaded Rod on capstan/turret lathe.
