If you broke the iron bed... And you had all the other bits...

Brass is a weird choice isn't it but its relatively easy to melt at sensible temperatures? Possibly a diy or down time copy of a steel or iron equivalent which was used as a pattern.

Fair enough. Two interesting cameras though. Both early attempts to make smaller cameras. The ensign is a british design and build thats probably 100years old and probably still works 120film is still in use. The zeis ikon baby box tengor is an early one i think again probably works takes a...

The cameras man. Way more interesting than a vice. If you want rid of them...

You've MADE a dud blade.

You don't need to hang the new joists under the old ones, you can stagger them in-between. But really the answer is to ue acoustic hangers as other have suggested. You just want the structure to be decouple from the roof structure and acoustic hanger achieve that perfectly adequately. If you...

I don't think it's bike wheel related, you would expect the vice bit to accommodate an axle not be flat jawed. Also there are loads of bike wheel diameters so a fixed length is pretty unuseful in any kind of bike workshop. And there would also need to be a fair bit of height difference to each...

It's really hard to tell from the photoo. But are you starting at the end closest to you? As you are knew forgive me if you know this but you start at the end furthest away and work backwards as you achieved the desired depth. The I THINK you are doing it means the plane is trying to take on...

There is a fold out Stanley knife aswell with he same blades. Much prefer it to the folding or sliding big standard Stanley blade knives.

Mine lasted about 10seconds, dropped it as I took it out the packet and it punched the concrete floor and made a nice little mushroom on the pin.

Just warm them a little and splash on some linseed oil. Old vices deserve to keep their scars.
