Getting that signed letter was a very smart move. As I was reading, I'm thinkin get that in writing. Problem is, there is nothing to compel them to give you a signed statement. It was fortunate that he did. I find that around here (suburbs of Philadelphia) bottom line is this. You can most...

It has just started with deposing parties and motions. A ton of back and forth between lawyers. Most likely, another two to three tears until it is over. (if I am Lucky....)

If you can benefit from my experience, let me tell you what happened to me. Where I live, doors and windows can be replaced providing they don't require changes to the frame, seems like everything else needs a permit. I installed a 10X10 shed around 96. After 3-4 years, decided it wasn't big...

Tried Fastenal, no luck. will try the other. I took the Copilots advice and called the manufacturer. I wont know until he calls me back next week but it sounds like he can get the parts to me for about $7.

Here are the pics of the vise. I was surprised to find out they were still in business. The first time I searched I came up empty. I will try to contact them.

The vise in question is a Powr Kraft model 84-5434, made by Milwaukee Tool & Equip. Co. I thought the make wasn't important as a locknut should be close to the same if bolt size, TPI and pitch was same. Physically, the lock nut is approx. 5/8" dia, 1" high and has a handle that is 5/16" dia and...

Hello, I read the threads on restoring bench vises. I have one that I need parts for. Can anyone give me any assistance on where to find the locknuts for the swivel base on the vise? The manufacturer of the vise no longer exists so I am finding it impossible to find the parts. The other vise...
