Hah! been restoring my wife's grandfather's old Record Auto-vice. Beautifully made piece. Nearly done. I won't be refinishing it in its original red, as I prefer silver. Note the stamping and casting. How things have changed since he trained as an engineer after the war.
Cheers,
Mike
ps: what have you got thats gripping in your shed?

Its one like this - only mine was silver...until I stripped the paint and found a very adherent manly pink underneath.
The swivel function is very nice, as is the tiny anvil on the back.
