| restoring a record 34p vice - how? |

If I recall correctly there's a steel dowel to take out before it all comes apart - I think it's to stop the moving jaw breaking your toes. I did the tommy bar cold - clamped it in another vice and heaved on it. It straightened well - you can't see it was bent and it was S shaped before. The more serious hazard of putting pipe on the tommy bar is when the moving jaw snaps off. (I've seen it done.) I'd go for blue too. Russell |

From the Ebay photos this one looks to have a nut with a split pin through it at the back of the moving jaw, so i am hoping it will come apart that way. You never know, i might even do a restoration thread..... |
