I’ve inherited an old workmate which still functions and has sentimental value. Unfortunately, the top (aka wooden vice jaws) is on its last legs.
Similar to this one:
I’m after a replacement top. I considered making one, but replacement tops seem to be c£25-35 (model dependent) … which probably = cost of making one.
