Just shim it if it's bugging you. Get ya some shim stock, cut to fit and maybe slap a little (tiny amount) of gorilla glue or some such on the shim. I'd dry fit it 1st and see if that would be adequate tho.

Looks great man. I bought an old Kennedy roll around that was half rust and cleaned it up and shot it with a matte clear, came out great, I love it. I'll find or take a pic.

That's the coolest little vise. Tore into my 5" Wilton today... Looks like Bubba owned it at some point in the past. Kinda digging the au natural look.

Looks great man. Awhile back I helped a guy mill a pretty beat anvil back to somewhat flat, that was an experience lemme tell ya. I'm gonna hafta do similar to my Morgan, I've got a good chunk outta the jaw. Set up should be fun, especially since I've been relegated to a mini Mill.

Looks like a good amount of meat ya had to get off the top a the jaws there.

I had to explain why setup takes so much longer than the actual cut, my friend was like what are we doing? Cut it already, he had no idea

I'll check today, she was good to go and that Wilton sorely needed cleaning so I have yet to dig into the Starrett.

Definitely laying off CL and MP now...

That little baby Wilton is badass. Can I ask what material y'all are making handles out of? I don't wanna say why I'm asking...

Oh my, boys. She's smooth and tight as prom night. It's so ****, the Morgan is tryna mate. Actually my 1st work in the Starrett. The angle jaw on the Morgan only dangled one way then back to neutral and not past. It was a one side trick pony. Got to runnin' a stone over the good stuff and ended...

Looks like I'm gonna find out the difference! VERY awesome bases y'all. Thought I did good with that one I found for the Wilton but dang. Beautiful.

Man, don't I know. This thing today will tie my most expensive yet, being the Wilton @ $250. We'll see if it happens, gonna take some things to possibly trade to offset the cost. Besides I'm all pharmaceutical grade these days (mostly 😂 anyway).

Ya, the bug hit me pretty hard right outta the gate. Found my Columbian at a garage sale then picked up the Wilton shortly thereafter. After I found the perfect stand and got it done, I was kinda hooked. Hopefully picking up a crown jewel (for me) later today. Also have a slew of drill press...

All right y'all, before I do anything crazy tomorrow, a decent Starrett 624. What's a good ballpark says y'all? Got a crack at one in great shape (from pics) that I'ma see live and in the flesh tomorrow afternoon. Be helpful to know what a good $ would be. I'll post pics, chances are pretty...

Wow man, she's gorgeous. I didn't do too bad for the week, wait what is today, Wed? Aw hell, well I didn't do too bad last week and a half. Got less than $300 in all of these. Prolly overpaid for the Parker but I wanted it even though it throws my average $ up. May have best yet coming...

I'ma say AMEN to that brother.

I mean C'MOOOOONNNNN this paper thin metal (whats left of the taper pin outta my newly acquired Morgan) is like painted in there. I'm hitting it with a round file and this is killing me. After I go, PLEASE, either someone finish the job or take this thing out into the Pacific ocean so that it...

This is exactly what happened man. Thought I was slipping, glad to hear these things give other folks as much grief 😂

Oh I noticed believe me. I just today got my Morgan free... This sunuvabitch wouldn't budge. I don't think it has ever moved. I tried tapping it and put my version of a slide hammer on it, I tried heat, I tried making a jack, thing wasn't budging. I ended up just drilling it out (it was broken...

Well shite, I hadn't even gotten the Parker outta the car yet and ended up with this little Prentiss for $30. Was up for 14 min before I emailed for it. She's rough, missing a collar I think but will know more when I dig 'em outta the car. Anyone see anything else? She looks old...
