Nice job , really like the paint job. That little engine looks like an old Clinton but could be an early Briggs ..

Thanks and yes I think it is a clinton.

Took a while, but I am done for now and onto the next project. Not sure how soon I will use it, but eventually it will get used.

Wow, amazing!

eventually it will get used.

....but it looks like a show piece.....I hope you have another vise (or two) to use when something needs pounding on.

I seriously doubt that that gorgeous piece of artwork looked that good on the day it was manufactured!!

Great Job!

Now that vise is too nice to use! Nice job. (My bet is a cast iron Briggs & Stratton)

It could be but the aluminum heads not right on early Briggs. The coils correct ..for Briggs . I have some and worked on them all for fifty years about.

Some of the cast iron Briggs had aluminum heads. Poke around smokestack.com and you will find several references to them. I don't mess around with them anymore but back in high school I worked in my Dad's small engine shop. They weren't very common.

Great job Steve, it must have taken some time and effort to make this video, edit.add music ,etc. but you made it work.

Thanks Ken, it did take a bit and this is only the trailer movie, I hope to eventually produce a longer version with some of the pain points and highlights of the restore.

I do, used it while working on this vise, it can been seen in my prev vid of restoring the handle.

Great Job!

Thanks and I would agree, I even filed down all the casting imperfections.

Thanks, it's a Clinton engine.
