Can we have a "vises" only section?

[Man of Many Vices]

It seems to me that there is sufficient interest in the subjects of vises and tool storage to separate these two topics from the "general tool discussion" section into a section for each one.

There has been some talk here about the need for a book about vises. I would be happy to buy such a book, even if it is purely an amateur effort. For those of you who may be considering embarking on such a project, the "Vises of Garage Journal" is an incredible resource of photos, anecdotes, history, ads and catalogs, questions and commentary.

If all the vise related threads were to be collected into one section, then we would have a digital book, or the next best thing.

Ditto for tool storage.

And, it could block anything with "vice".

Since parts of the world use a vice to clamp parts in why would you want to discriminate against them?

no neat sig line

I found some of my most unusual vises by doing a nationwide Craigslist search for "vice." There are good many people in the United States who don't realize that we spell it with an "s," not a "c," as do the folks in the U.K. In some cases, I was the only one who inquired, and the one who got to take home the prize (or is it prise?).

Not so sure about a separate section but there's definitely a books worth of vice (or vise, depending on your countries spelling) pictures, old catalogue page scans and stories on this forum.

It's vice with a "c" in Canada too ... and I always use both versions when searching.

I hope you got your prize for a good price (or is that prise too?).

A Vise & Anvils sub-forum would be cool.
