Thanks for all the help guys

I've been a big fan of kc tool co for a long time and have purchased the majority of my Knipex, Gedore, and Wera brand tools through them. I've been working a project on the east coast for about 5 months. In about a week I'll be headed home (to comifornia). I noticed kc tool is based in a Kansas...

Finally got my vise mounted

Thanks Drives, As for its new home, I'll have to get pictures at work tomorrow. I am mounting it on my knaack rolling work bench. I made a custom sleeved stainless pipe mount so that I can remove the vise and lock it when I'm on jobsites. The steel table shown is my home bench that has this...

Thanks guys, As for the lettering I went with the little paint brush. I was worried I'd make a big mess with the daubing method even though I know it works well for a lot of guys.

Another shot

Finished up my Parker this weekend.

Sharp lookin vise.. What color is that that you used?
