Rusty Bench Vise Restoration

This is a Brink and Cotton bench vise. Made in USA. "The "W" on the front is most likely for Wilton. Wilton bought Brink & Cotton in 1995 via the Wrenchwiki page and even has 2 pics of this vise." I would like to thank George for this comment! It belongs to one of my close friends and he asked me if I can restore it. I think, this rusty bench vise will be a perfect restoration opportunity for both of us. A couple of years ago, I restored a Swivel bench vise very similar to this one. This Brink and Cotton vise is so rusty and also have some problems with its handles. You can also find that Swivel bench vise restoration video in my channel. I hope you enjoy watching this restoration video. Thanks for watching.
