    Got the vise all cleaned up and painted. I really like how it turned out and it feels great. I can't wait to mount it and use it. I've been wanting to mount a wood top on the box so the vise is going to have to wait for that.

    The jaws are pretty clean. I wouldn't mind running copper liners on it myself. Any idea where I can source some?
