When doing the JB Weld, put a correct dia. wood dowel in the hole, and after is cures, drill out the dowel!

That thing IS huge! In your second picture it's sitting on a full 4x8' sheet of plywood, right? tee hee,, better than LOL...

Colors...colors. I did the "John Deere" paint scheme early in this thread, and I didn't do the letters.... Hmmm now I think I should have. I'm negotiating right now on a 6xx-1/2 Athol right now. Originally they had it on Ebay for $100, and I want to offer 30-40, she will prob tell me to take...

Bill, thanks for the info. Mine acually opens to 8-1/2". Maybe it's 6" when all of the threads are engaged. Interesting about the screw in the front of the handle! I didn't know what that was for, and last night I cut short pieces of rubber hose to act as bumpers so the balls at the ends of...

I am a noob here, and I agree with the post minimim before selling. It'd be like Ebad feedback. I only need 23 more.

A customer gave me a military 513-T Remington target rifle. I've seen them go for about 6-800 dollars. Unfortunately the Sheriff has it right now.

I will, but it's apart with the paint drying at the moment.

Hello all, I am a new member and I am really excited about finding this site. I just cannot wait to browse through. I have owned this vise for several years, and it has been packed away for the last 5 because of a move. This last week I have been re-assembling my workbench, and getting the...
