Well, started the day off by breaking my old vise. I was torquing on it at a bad angle and broke part of the base casting. Not a good way to start the day.
Since I still needed a vise to get through the day's chores, the Wife and I went out to the local flea market known as Denio's Farmer's Market and Auction out in Roseville, CA.
After looking at a bunch of the vender stalls, I spotted what I was looking for. I found an old Paramo No 6 vise. After haggling with the vendor, we finally settled a price of $120.
Really nice Made in England vise complete with swivel base. Looks old, but in good shape. Very solid. A quick search online shows that I got it for a decent price and that they have a good reputation. We'll see how well it holds up.
I got about 25 years out of my old Made in China vise and it had a very hard, abusive life.
