They did a remodel of the woodshop this past summer, smaller but better I think. Anyway they got all...

    I didn't see the vid but the locking screw makes the vise more manageable when used on the horizontal post. I've thought of adding that to one of mine that is set up on the Pow-R-Arm so it doesn't swivel all over the place. Yes Blue Frog it lives here. Jim

    I don't know Outlaw. As I recall it was like a Sunday or after hours anyway I never spoke to anyone about it. We had no room in the car as it was. That had to be about 5 or 6 years ago now. It's probably still there. Should I ask around, my wife has friended them on Facebook (I wonder if I...

    I've got three of those trimmers and would be willing to part with one if someone was interested. I use them mostly fitting trim on boat interiors. Always odd angles and no dust, just chips to clean up. Jim
