    Wilton 63201 Tradesman 6-1/2" Round Channel Vise with Swivel Base

    I assume none of the tracking info has been updated? What has happened in other cases is once the company (I assume Wilton or the distributor they are ordered from) realizes they are not going to get paid by the cc company they don't ship the item or they halt the shipment while in transit...

    Triumph Tool - Help with Identification please

    I think the bottom two are for the rear axle nut and/or fork top nuts on a Triumph motorcycle. Contact Baxter Cycles and ask if Randy can ID them. http://baxtercycle.com/ They are the vintage British bike HQ in the US.

    However you decide to set them, I would consider these engineered poles. I used them on my barn. http://www.graberpost.com/images/laminatecolumnbrochure.pdf

    Wilton 63201 Tradesman 6-1/2" Round Channel Vise with Swivel Base

    The seller is using stolen credit card numbers to purchase the items direct and have them shipped to the buyer. They don't care if they don't sell the items for anything near retail. They collect some quick cash until they are shut down and then move along to another user name. Sometimes...

    Barn floor SOAKED....

    Just like taking a cold beer out of the fridge on a hot, humid day. All of that moisture is coming from the warm air. Completely normal when you have 50 degree temp swings from one day to the next. Everything inside cools down but doesn't warm up as fast as the outside air. Nothing you can...

    Bad concrete pour. Next step?

    He has given you a clear way out, take it. Any stand up contractor would say I am going to tear it out and make it right, no questions asked. This guy wants to argue about it. Walk away.

    Bad concrete pour. Next step?

    What a bad first impression. Not only did he not wait as you advised he left this turd. I guess your yard is tore up also. I think I would run from this guy. Think of the struggles you are going to have if this is the first day. Reputable or not, I have found that just because someone else...

    Cold weather concrete pour in new 30x40 pole barn

    Don't let the google searching engineers worry you. It's not a highway slab or bridge, it's a barn floor, it'll be fine. Make sure they do plenty of saw cuts.

    SolarGuard 'Insulation'

    Looks to be a fiberglass blanket just with a reflective side. If you weren't going to do anything else I would say go for it to help limit sweating (assuming this is a metal building). But otherwise it may just be something that gets in the way with what you have planned. I used Microfoil...

    Cannon Gun Safes From Costco

    You must not have guns that have sentimental value or that were passed down to you. For that reason alone I could care less about getting insurance money because I wouldn't replace many of them because they would not be the same one my grandfather/dad/father in law gave me. I would rather...

    Spray foam contractor

    That maybe a good option to preserve the warranty on the metal. I built a 50 x 72 last year and was told by several contractors that spraying anything directly on the metal would void its warranty. The local Morton guy wouldn't do spray foam. He said I'd have to get that done on my own for...

    Looks like a Buffalo brand to me. Googling "Buffalo vise" should tell you all you need to know.

    Vise mounting

    You are missing the swivel pedestal on the vise. The hole is for locking the vise into position.
