I don't think it counts the legs. The height of those bricks is 3" (based on my guess that they are British imperial-size commons). I blew the picture up to 1:1 based on that and the body measured about 8mm. Maybe these are fat fucks.

My great grandfather was a marine carpenter (I don't know the correct term), he did a great deal of cabinet fitting on yachts and liners I believe.
I now have his tools, in the tool box he made for them.
Sadly, at some point used motor oil has spilled over the tool box/chest.
What is the best way of getting this cleaned up does anyone know?
I wouldn't try and pretty it up. Dirty engine oil won't come out after all this time. I would keep looking after it though. Make sure it stays dry and wipe some Danish oil over it from time to time.

It is a Record 52e given to my father in 1947 as a reward for raising the alarm when a local business caught fire. (he was asked what he wanted).
This is the 3rd bench it has been fixed to as the others succumbed to wet rot and woodworm etc. That's why the latest bench sits on aluminium feet and is held off the wall with brackets.
Record stuff from that era is the dogs bollocks. I have bought 2 similar vices for less than £20 each off ebay and are so much better than the modern 'Irwin' equivalent.
I am going to try and make one of these next:

This is one I made about 5 years ago. Starts off as 3 square frames made using through tenons below and saddle joints at the top. Then I screw long pieces to them. This bench is used mainly for storing old bicycle parts and other rammel.
If I want to do any carpentry I have to get the workmate out :) -

^Also, Cannabis will not enter its sexual growth phase (flower bud production) until the Autumn equinox (12hr night) but because it needs several weeks to produce bud of any decent strength, it then becomes susceptible to our British frosts.
This is why outdoor growers favour early varieties such as the aptly named 'Early Girl' or 'Early Pearl' - so my mate told me.

plunge it. if that don't work,
caustic soda. (treated with mucho respec having read the instructions etc)
