Vintage vise restoration

Got this old vise from my neighbor in May, it was rock solid except for some minor rust, but also covered in lead paint and primer. Took me a while to get this resto done alongside.my workbench project (see post in r/workbenches), but I'm very happy with the final result.

Repurposed Antique Cast Iron Legs

Got these heavy duty cast iron workbench legs from a neighbor in May, Boston area. It took me over 2 months but I finally put the top on yesterday! Along the way I learned they are from the Early 1900s and made by Browne & Sharpe in Providence RI. Still have plenty to do, but at least I've got a table now!
