Mr. Crane, that thing wouldn't even make a doner vise

Just to clarify Zeus, AI is 2 letters.---Actually vowels to be exact. :lol2:

Makes sense now.---If they were real, each one would be a unicorn but hardly practical.

Zeus, that is some incredible stuff.---Are you using 3D printers for those or are those even real?

Quadruplets. ---Smitty, I Know you are a proud papa.---Those are cuties. I felt the same way when I spotted 2, C. Parker 2000s on eBay in the same week from 2 different vendors and haven't seen another since.---Odd how things transpire sometimes.

Nice score, Mr. W.---Never heard of a Zomax before.---Very nice score indeed.

What Andy said. :thumbup:

Ranger0 said,---"Any reason you reckon it happens? It does seem a common problem". It does appear that Brit made vises or vices are of a lower profile than the American made as a whole.---Which would make for more stress at the bottom of the towers just because of the leverage factor.---But...

That's a :+1: on Heresy.---:lol2:

Mr. Pierce, your Reed at a point that it can be V ground and righteously repaired.---Any further use and it will look like King Solomon passed judgment.

I would've loved to have seen the live production when that Reed was snapped.---Better yet, be there filming it.---With the right weld or braze, you can still get a lot of use out of it.---Beaters like that are like real real ugly girls.---If they leave you, you won't mind.---If the vise breaks...

Mr. W, that shelf is going to wind up in China. :lol2:

Yep, to all the above.

Mr. Lahey, that vise is close to 100 years old, and looks to be in very good condition, but it depends on what they are asking.---It does appear that the bottom plate is upside down.

Master Zoda said, "Also I would like to know how the Athol no. 70 would be fastened down". You can also use a square head bolt through your work bench.---The square head has to stick up high enough to slide through the slot, then you just tighten a nut from the bottom.
