I picked up this crusty oddball machinists vise, made for holding irregularly shaped objects on a milling machine. It's similar in purpose to the now-famous "Fractal Vise" but works in a completely different way. I don't know that I would call this a "restoration" but it cleaned up well, and it's pretty neat how it works.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
