My grandad had one of these old Blacksmiths vyces set up in our garage at home. It actually worked wheras this one has sat in my pile of scrap for a couple of years in a non working condition. Still it was such a lovely piece in shape and form that I couldn’t bring myself to cut it up. Anyway I had the silly idea to make it into a “joke” I have added AD to the top and good and bad to the back… so I advise you to think what that actually does to this piece and see if your humour is a sad as mine… when people get it they tend to lower their heads and shake them..Anyway a working vyce on ebay is in the 2 to 300 dollar range so if you had the urge it wouldn’t be hard to remove my additions.
