My first ever gloat :)

My first ever gloat, well two really.

First one is this I picked up at a local car boot sale for £10

It was a bit rusty but a wire brush and a bit of spray paint did wonders.

Second gloat was one of these for £87.81 on Ebay

Not bad at all, Sir!

Well done. That Record 53 for a tenner was a real bargain - they last forever :wink:

Cheers, Alf

My first thought was £10 for the Record, and then I thought another £10 for the tin of blue paint

Nice to see and old tool restored, if you havent used this vice before I found that the inside cheek is not square to the face (or is that 'not perpandicular'?)

Good gloat, keep it up! 8)

Devon thats how they are meant to be, the jaws meet at the top first and as you tighten further the flex in the vice clamps on the whole jaw.

It was actually about £9 for paint but I only used about 1/4 of it so plenty left to do up some more gloats

Now you've started it won't be the last.
