The vise is almost finished. I need to clean the inside of the vise body and get some paint on it. The original color was red, so I'm going to get a couple of rattle cans of the red I used on the motorbike I finished up a couple of years ago. It's self-priming and seems to be holding up well. I'll paint the vise and the Rickati frame with the same paint.
I got the broken bolt removed from the sliding jaw and re-threaded. I counterbored the hole in the keeper so there's less chance of me skinning a knuckle when cranking on the handle. I still need a thrust washer to complete the job. I'm going to check with the local implement dealer. If they don't have one, I'll get one ordered in.
