Wow you've done a cracking job of that

Very nice Shawn.
It doesn't appear to have seen much use. Looks like it just sat around collect dust for most of its life.

Thanks gents, if I had to guess I would say it was never used or sparingly at best. Not bad for $5.00 and a couple hours to clean it up.

Great job and a fantastic price.

Nice vise, better price!
I have a Starrett 5" bench vise in my home shop (not my machine shop) and it's got the same or very similar speckled finish blue paint. I think you would have been fine to simply clean off the rust and give the paint a good wipe-down, but hey, whatever floats yer boat. Looks great!
RE: Before and after, drill press vise. - Shawn - 09-12-2014
I wasn't going to paint it at all when I first started but the paint was worse than it looked and it gave me a chance to try out the colour. I may paint a lathe flat black this winter so a test run was in order.
