Thank you everybody for your advice on here. Especially the original poster. I ended up with this freebie Sterling model QVF-75 built in 1996 from an estate sale where the house was going to be torn down for new housing. Now I just need to verify where I want to mount it. If I mount it right in...

Touché. I wonder now if he ended up going with a newer unit after all. I seen one pop up for sale near me for $60, but not sure if I want to deal with it.

Hey Duramax Junkie. 11+ year follow up here... How did the install go if you did go thru with it? And also, if installed, how has it held up over the years?

Well, that was a wonderful read over the last couple of days. Great job!

Here's a few photos from a school in the Netherlands in the 1940s....

Not my lathe, but it is my negative from the 1940s. Possibly in Poland....

It's been 20 months and 4 days since my last post, so I feel like I have quite a bit of catching up to do..... For your viewing pleasure... This came out of a slide show set which had hundreds of photos from the 1940s. This particular photo was work in the chemistry industry, possibly Polish....

I suppose I'm due for an update here since it's been nearly a few years. This was before... This is today after a super fine brillo pad on a frill press followed by paste wax application...

I found one of those years ago hanging in someone's dusty garage. Now that it's mine it sits under an acrylic videogame screen.

I got one of those too...

Since I'm in a posting mood, I figure I woud take the time to let CRSINMICH know that the lovely Versa Vise did make it past TSA snuggly in my checked bag. I have yet to mount it, but am reminded of your friendship everytime I see it. It wouldn't surprise me if you were prepping for a Tusday...

I thought I had one, but Mine is a No. 32 also....

It's been many moons since my last vise purchase, and today i nearly tripped over this $5 Taskmaster 5. A dollar per inch? Not bad, eh? Of course while researching it the first hit was Mark in Indiana's rebuild from years ago.... Mine is Not as pretty as his though.

I have the same Darra James Drill, but mounted on table saw legs.

Re: What did you do "IN" your garage today? Hey XJSuperman, How's the R6 holding up? I typically get about a 10 degree difference inside the garage compared to outside, but your idea seems like it wouldn't be a costly/timely project. Thanks
