This is a peter wright 55 kg solid block blacsmithe vice, I've since mounted it .
Its a horse of a thing, gives the best blood blisters too when the handle slides down. over
nearly 200 years old now cant see it falling apart yet. great leg vice, use them most days,
would love a bigger anvil
Hmmmmmm, lucky Im not in the "vice squad" or you blokes would be in trouble,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
heres both of my Peter wright vices one is 3" other is 6" amazing to think these vices are hand made
and for Ferret this is my Buffalo forge 611 post drill missing a few bits but have noticed this one has a handle you pull down on missing, easy enough to make, must be those straight cut gears you spoke about
Threedogs, this will give you an idea how old your Buffalo drill press could be. 1883 0n.

And my seed drill end wood box I recoed
This is my anvil, given to me 30 years ago and still in use.
It came out from England in about 1830, probably made about 1800 and it is HAND made.
