    I love when videos have the actual sound of the activity, rather than music. Its easier to follow whats being done this way.

      I’d have left the marks around the jaws, yes I’d have fixed the chip at the jaw, and the anvil area and left the rest, when the old aged king asked me about them, I’d have said “ to remind you as you gaze at it, that you had a wonderful childhood”

    Having done two Wilton bullet vise restorations, neither as good as yours, my favorite part was first that you were lucky to get a vise with the end-cap in fairly good shape. And then you were particularly meticulous in correcting it's form and sanding it smooth. The impact on the finished restoration sets off well against the re-machined jaws. Very nice indeed!
