Found this in a scrap pile last week. Can't believe someone would throw it away. Works and looks great, nothing broken just a small bend in the handle. Does anyone know what they are worth? soon as I get a value on it, I'll place it in the for sale section. Thanks for looking Mike

Mike, I see you were let in without using your real name, so we don't know who you are. Tell us about about yourself and what your interest is. Where are you located?

Yoopers are from the U.P.- The upper peninsula of Michigan.
Lots of crazy Finns up there. They were crazy to begin with, of course, but after 9 months or so a year of being snowed in, they get even crazier.

Hello. This is my first post. I'm a retired shop teacher and hobbyist bladesmith. looking for information on converting a leg vise to a foot vise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen a few over the years.  a member Jeff Wester in Sisters mfgs. one or at least did.  Try internet searches for foot powered vises, or similar topics.  there used to be one made by the old bsmith tool cos.  Offhand I picture something like the cam action of a lever locking hub on a bicycle, with a central screw still so you could adjust for size of mtl.  Good luck.
