Still got to bring my bench grinder home so imagine that sat on the bench, might find a bar stool too.
The vice.
This has history.
Yes a boring old vice.
Go back to the early 1940's, the Record factory got heavily bombed.
Vices where a critical part of the unseen war effort, an army of blokes and ladies working at home in the garden shed turning out small vital parts.
Paramo works made iron castings, mostly pipe and covers. They where retasked by the war department to start production of Record vices as they where to important to lose production due to bombed out large factorys.
I have a Paramo Record :)
Just needed a quick flash over with the wire brush, squirt of lube and ready for action again.
