Guess it's just time. Already have a 600S in the garage and these, while I tried to bring them back as well as I could, are taking up shelf space. Been in that "get rid of things I'm not using" mode for a couple months now. Took a while to finally make the decision on these.

Good day everyone. A few years back I joined this forum to find out some information about vises and was helped by some very nice and knowledgeable folks. Not being a huge online person I sort of drifted back into my chores and projects. I just wanted to show a picture of the vises I had...

I want to thank everyone for their help. Turns out it's Hickory. Not as thrilled as I would've had my old neighbor been correct but not disappointed either. Think I still may board it out, or have a heckuva lot of firewood.

Here's a couple more of the trunk closer.

I hate to say this but that looks like what I've been cutting all day. But again, I can't tell a tulip from a daisy, lol.

Spent most of the day burning the twigs and cutting up the large branches that fell. I left it standing about 25' tall and roped so that'd be easy to bring her down where I want her. I took another picture at the top cut and, to me, there seems to be quite a bit of color. Maybe this picture will...

To my eye it all looks too similar. I'll take my phone out and try to compare it to this pic.

I remember the green nuts from some years ago but I haven't seen any in quite awhile. Do they stop producing them I wonder? I know that this tree was in a line of trees prior to construction of the house. I've was told that trees get very stressed with and I'd be lucky if it even lived.

Those are absolutely gorgeous. Well. if it does turn out to be Hickory. That may be a future project.

That is going to make some beautiful pieces of furniture.

A few more pictures if that helps.

Good morning all and thank you for the replies. I remember looking at the leaves a couple years ago and then going online to compare them to Black Walnut and, to my extremely NON green thumbed eye, they looked fairly close. I remember reading that they had a dark center where the branches attach...

The sun should be coming up in a bit so I can take a picture of the trunk.

Figured I'd ask on the Journal because there is a wealth of knowledge here. A few years ago my neighbor told me that the tree by my drive was a Black Walnut. Well, fast forward to today and I finally cut it down because it was pretty scraggly up top and there was a large branch that was dead...

I will be darned. That was the fastest reply I ever got to a question I asked on this forum.:bounce: Many times I felt like a red headed step-child waiting for a reply. Thank You very much Rusty. Any idea why they just had the "C" and not the 1 also? Or was that a norm?

Need some of the knowledge you gentlemen possess. Picked up another Wilton off of CL. Not a screaming deal but, to me, a deal nonetheless. She wouldn't close completely, probably about an 1/8" to fully closed. Got her home for a quick disassembly of the dynamic jaw and found she just had a...

Thank you for the advice and input oldldh. Much appreciated. I think I may just keep her. Since she was only owned by one gentleman who took care of her she really doesn't need much but I'll go through her.

Good afternoon all. Figured I'd throw up a couple vises I picked up today and get some opinions. Paid $270 for the pair so it wasn't a screaming deal like I had gotten on my 600s. Not too much out there on the PoweRscrew so I don't have any idea of what it's worth but it's the one that made me...

Think I did pretty good on this one. Got an Ideal 61-775 1000amp clamp meter with probes, cloth carrying case, instructions for $30 yesterday. Doesn't look hardly used. Haven't used one of these since about 30+ years ago. Didn't need it, just thought that $30 seemed fairly cheap.
