Quite the week so far...

[RedVise]

Monday and Tuesday usually aren't the big tool buyin' days, but this week..

Monday I picked up the wooden tool chest and the clamp on vise. Box is worn on the exterior but drawers look OK.
Today, after several attempts, I was able to meet a seller and buy the Cman block grinder.
Juuuust around the corner was this Simplex vise, got it also.

My job lets me peruse CL during the day and sometimes... I can beat the crowd.

 I'm with Bill
 3/4 horse and both eyeshields and toolrests intact?

 The Simplex vise has a --real-- long slide

 An easy restore for a wooden toolchest?
 
  Yeah I don't know how much you suck (no prices),
 but you do suck and that is for sure.

Good scores there Brian. I would have been happy grabbing any ONE of those in a week, let alone all three

[RedVise]

I tell you there were yard sales galore this last week end and I came home with...  2 sawhorses.
Handy yes, but not exciting.
God bless my wife is understanding as the projects are backing up...

Nice finds,  If you don't mind,  How much $$$ did they set you back??

In the last photo there are two vises, did you get the little one too?  The clamp on type.  I have missed at all 3 garage sales so far this year, not a single tool hit.  So where do you live?

[RedVise]

John, oh yes, the little vise is mine. I have 10 or so clamp on vises.  Will post them up one day.

I live in St Petersburg Fl.
If anyone is in the area and is going to the Wagon Wheel Flea market in Pinellas Park while on vacation,
 drop me a line and I will stop by to meet you.

Oldtools- I got good prices or I woudnt be buying. I bought the big vise and grinder to flip.
heres the last one I cleaned up and sold, see post #1191 - http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157794&page=60

I emptied the tool chest to be able to wash it off.
Lot of pieces, even has a little v notch wrench.

It just keeps getting better, and better, and better!

Very nice score, kinda like golfers tell me "it only takes one good hole to keep you coming back" A find like that makes up for several dry weeks...

Congrats,

Chilly

Now you have to find the rest of the vise that the swivel base belongs to.
