This video follows the basic restoration of an old Yankee Vice.
This novelty vice is intended to function as both a bench vice and machine vice, without un-holding the work piece in between!
I came across this vice for sale locally, and cheap. Anytime I find a 100 year old tool for less than beer money, I pick it up. Well not really, I already have too much crap, but in this case I did.
Obviously the Yankee Vice concept was a failure, because it no longer exists. And I think it was marketed more as a novelty for the 'at home handyman' crowd than for professional use.
This version is the four inch model. It was also available in smaller sizes.
