Vise restoration

Wow, I thought I was having a flash back from the 60's there for a minute.:cool2:

Digital cameras are unforgiving sometimes. Even though I voted for hammered black it will look good. It's not to late to change it!!!! Oh well maybe it is.

It will look like a million $$. New paint, obvious attention to detail and soothing colors is tough to top.

Thought about going all grey but after the 3rd coat of orange finally starting to come around!

I won't have to say "where did my vise go" lol

Thanks for the encouraging comments

Vise assembled, complete and ready to get to work (scratched up)

I forgot how much this thing weighs...about 50lbs

Hey that looks good. I think I need to add a little color to my old drab shop.

Thanks for the pictures, enjoyed them. Later

At first thought I questioned the idea of Orange, but after seeing it, I like it! Makes the vise I have, that appears to duplicate yours, look very ordinary in the battleship gray paint that came on it. If I ever decide to repaint this one I have, Orange will be at the top of the list.

Yeah it's bright! I was tempted to go all kubota grey but fought the temptation and once assembled I like it also!

OK, lemme see now. where did I put that vise?
Seriously, great color but more than that, great resoration project that lives anew every time you see it. I have rebuilt many pieces of farm equipent--some detailed on TBN--and still feel warm and fuzzy every time I walk by. Little know secret is that I have a quart each of (factory) Kubota Orange II and Kubota Gray for some pending project yet unnamed. What is your next project?

Well I do have too many to name but a few pending are to sand blast and paint a boat trailer (no it won't be orange) currently white but may switch to black.

A 3x4 welding table is also high on the list.

How bout yourself? Any projects dying for a coat of Kubota orange
