I completely agree on your main point with many things in life, but this is something I want to have some fun with. I collect guns, not just for the sake of actually shooting them or going hunting, but in the enjoyment of handling what they are. I collect tools, well beyond what I'll ever...

... Aaand now I'm researching metal properties and considering forking out tons of cash for a custom made chopper... Just what I need, another expensive vice. :lol_hitti Thanks for the recommendation, Canoe50, I certainly have to re-think my whole approach. :thumbup:

+1 would like some ideas. I've had my Wave for a few years now, absolutely ZERO issues with it, and I use it daily at work. You'll love it!

The RTAK from OKC looks just like the Junglas... Same company or something?

Thanks for the input so far guys. While I like kuhkris, it's not what I'm looking for. Sense posting, I've looked at Busse and like some of their stuff too. Budget wise, I'd like to keep it under $400 or so. Mohawk Dave - Thanks for the Tops recommendation, first time I've looked at their stuff.

Hey guys, I've been rolling the idea around for some time, on picking up a heavy outdoor knife. I've been using smaller fixed blade knives for a long time, and while batoning (sp?) works well, I just want something that could step up to be a bit of a "chopper". I believe there is always a...

Absolutely love it. It's awesome seeing kids getting into using tools. My two boys have John Deere themed little vises they use quite often. :beer::thumbup:

Thought I could read the writing on the box behind the slide, where it looks like it's chipped off, or maybe it's just me. :dunno:

Looks like the back of the slide is broken off.

Now that is a very badass vise! Did you invite him to come check out GJ!? Thanks for sharing, Joe! :rocker:

I bought my Yost 32C in literally "new" condition for $60 off CL. Not a bad vise at all, but I would definitely suggest looking around for something vintage and larger.

Another big +1 to the Wave. I've had mine for around 4 years now, carry it daily, use it daily, absolutely ZERO issues with it so far. If I ever break or loose mine, it will be replaced immediately.

Yes, yes I did. I'm sure he would of opted for a Beer had they offered on the flight, but regardless, it ended up in my lap lol. I've wondered actually, as I've been driving through Baker - on the far West side of the town, where the mountains start, if you look NW-ish a mile or two, it looks...

Congratulations! If I was still living in Boise, I think I would of snagged it, had I seen it first lol :thumbup::drool: Yes, yes they are. :evil: Just wanted to say hello to a NW'er! I grew up north of Seattle, and moved to Boise a couple years ago, before moving up north of Spokane this...

Man I love GJ, thanks guys for all the great info! Time for some studying. :beer::pimpflash

This, exactly. My dad always knew how to half-assed fix stuff. Very backyard style of getting things "working again" but sometimes not for long. His tools were no different. No mm stuff in his tool box, just an adjustable wrench "for the odd ****". Everything was no-name old junk tools that...

Thanks for the replies, guys! Yeah, I've spent several hours youtubin' different clips, my favorite that I've come across so far is a short series of long videos (45+ minutes each) from an MIT guy. It was both fun and informative to watch. I'll have to check out Keith Fenner and Mr. Pete222...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you had some good books/dvd suggestions on machining, primarily knee mill and metal lathe work, or just general shop stuff. Experience is the best education, but until that happens, I just want to find something that'll help me get a feel for the equipment...

Ahhh man, I'd LOVE to have something like that. A big YOU ****!!!! :lol_hitti

KMS - Unfortunately, I don't know. I'll try to find some info online but I'm assuming someone much more knowledgeable than I will chime in here soon.
