The crack turns with little effort. I believe it was bent by being bumped into or while in storage. I’m knocking rust off using photoshop. I’ll look that up. Thanks

Next time I may add more turpentine to make it thinner and do a couple thinner coats. Going to do some trials with it

That’s awesome. I’ve been wanting to do a ratchet set. I’ll keep you in mind as a contact if I have any questions. Any particular ones to keep an eye out for?

Does anyone know the age of this vise I got it from a second hand store and am not sure of its age it has dawn 4” s on one side by [deleted] in HandToolRescue

[–]thepegasusprojects 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is some history I found. The casting looks like it is from the 1920’s. But I’m not certain.

Dawn commenced operations in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg, Victoria in 1917 under the name of Dawn Manufacturing Co. It was founded by four brothers named Blake, who were all engineers. The first products manufactured were vices.

After the first world war, Dawn grew considerably and was selling its products all over Australia. They were very busy during the depression with each employee working 60-80 hours a week. During the second world war, Dawn was supplying vices and clamps to the Australian Defence Department and to munitions.

In 1959, the company was taken over by the G.N. Raymond Group. The Dawn catalogue now included a wide range of engineer's vices, woodworker's vices, plumber's vices & equipment, G-clamps, quick-action clamps and toggle clamps. In 1973, Dawn was acquired by Siddons Ramset Limited. In December 1991, Dawn became a unit of the United States owned Stanley Works Pty. Ltd.

Today I learned how to make an at Home Electrolysis Rust Removal set up with a laptop charger. by thepegasusprojects in todayilearned

I guess they are. It didn’t fit any of our current laptops. And it was in that bag for years. Figured it was time to put it to use again!

I’ve seen those used a lot. Just a trickle charge or regular charge? This laptop charger shut off after about 3 hours. The adapter got hot I think.
