Built him a 'his size' bench and put on the 4" vice I got when I was 4. That vice and bench sits in one of our shop buildings and my wife uses it - awaiting for son to get his act together and get a place for it. He wants it back. The bench was built from Yellow Pine studs and is a small tank. Storage underneath and a peg board at the back. I didn't get a Wilton then or now. But maybe I will. I bought three wilton bullet vises at that factory, 3, 4, and 5 inch vises. My plan is, 1) sell the 5 incher (the one I painted). That will pay for the 4 and 3 inchers, in effect. 3) I will keep the 4 incher and 4) give the 3 inch vise to the kid. Make sure you remove that triangle of galv on the lower round area of the main jaw first. A pristine paint job could double or triple the price. Oh, fix the paint around the sticker, too.
