Talking about the high cost of shipping. I travel and work outages all over so any new town I'm in I always scrounge Facebook market and local craigslist for tools etc. Especially vises and anvils.
My first post here and all I can say is Wow. 3800+ pages of vise ****. I'll fit right in. I own 4 Wilton's including a baby along with a Kurt d30 for my Rockwell vertical mill and a Palmgren. I just started a restoration on a Wilton 8400 for my dad.
