Have you shipped your gift to your recipient yet? I'm running behind this year, shipping out tomorrow morning. Should get there in time. Hopefully everyone else is on the ball!

The nut for the screw looks aftermarket/homemade. But you got one heck of a deal for a freebie, hang onto that one, the 6"+ size vises don't come around very often.

RI: Looks great, totally jealous of your progress, i haven't made much progress on mine for awhile. Love the color too!

Lugz: I have no clue how i missed this thread but it is awesome, could you please give us the specs on the MB toolkit? I'm a self diagnosed Willys Jeep nut. I currently have a '48 CJ2A I'm restoring and have a '41 or '42 slat grill awaiting a decision. Great Job on your research and putting that...

"What's the torque spec on ***? and the reply was Flippin(expletive) Tight"

I'm with Erie, just like 06, have an oil fired furnace in the shop also. Just signed the insurance papers last week. Talked to the agent about adding secondary heat to the house or shop, from what i was told for a wood stove they'd have to inspect it but for coal/pellet no problemo

You sir, ****! That's a hell of a deal for a fisher parallel jaw, Regular post vises go for 100 plus around here, even missing parts.

SD: I was thought that was just a plate at the bottom, didn't take notice that was concrete. what size square tube did you use? I want to permanently mount one of mine. Always have the vise wanting to move on me.

Thanks guys, its obviously an older home, 1930's construction, originally a barn converted into a house back in the 60's i believe. I would consider it timber framed, with stud walls added to make rooms. Also the attic is completely open, except for the beam framing. We'd like to keep at least...

Did you actually check with your insurance co? I spoke to my agent about adding a seconday heat source and they said wood stoves are ok, but they need to inspect the installation. Then again a barrel stove would probably be considered homemade. I'd probably be going coal anyway but wanted to...

suprised nobody mentioned them but swivel sockets, sometimes a socket plus swivel just wont fit. Along with the BFH, torches, tap n die set, bench vises, interwebs yadda yadda. As others mentioned it all depends what you think you'll be doing, my tool kit for heavy equipment would be overkill...

We eventually plan on finishing off part of the attic to make into a master bedroom, probably wont be for 5-10 years or so. At this point we're looking to let the attic be cold. As it has 0 insulation in the wall or roof. Also to insulate the roof it's going to take some ingenuity to insulate...

Nice work P51! Pretty cool design.

WW: I've talked pole buildings with everyone i know that has them. I'd recommend getting a couple quotes from other builders, just to compare. I've heard great things about PPB, Timberline and a few others. We had gotten a quote to build a 30x40x10 about 6 years ago, just the shell, 2 garage...

I'll try and make this as easy and painless as possible. So we're buying a house very soon, and alas in december, not the summer/fall as we would've liked. Either way the house has what i would call a 3 season attic, no heat plumbed. Also only some insulation in certain areas between the 2nd...

Drives: that fisher isn't mine. Found that pic on the internet. Perhaps if i get chance i will get a pic of my 3 tomorrow with their measurements. #4 in those pics is wayy too ornate to even think about using, I'm digging the mount on #7 might have to use that idea on one of mine. #2 is just...

Finally got back to this thread, Drives that Fuller vise is outstanding,obviously foot operated to allow both hands free to position the item into it. Rare for sure, i've never seen a foot operated vise in person or for sale. Some guys would potentially kill for one. I've recently learned that...

Welcome PABURNER! From another Pa guy, about an hour from LV.

REC: Place is already built or i'd be going in floor thats for sure, nothing like being warm enough and then having to lay on cold concrete. Finn: thanks for your experiences with your heating system Jack: NG isn't very prevalent around this area yet, the towns close to the main line have NG...
