I - for one - am too ugly to be posting myself any more than is absolutely necessary! I post the wife's (chili) pics so y'all will have something GOOD to look at!

sorry man, it's got sentimental value. However, it does weigh in at about 200 lbs, so if it ever breaks off that rickety bench and smashes my toes I might give you a call. does come in handy though, i've used it to hold everything from washers to complete engines.

Looks like a Emmert pattern makers vise, woodworkers would cringe at the thought of using it to hold a engine.

Me, too. However, I have reached the age at which I no longer care.

All right, here we go. As mentioned before, there is a 1954 F-100, 1977 F-250 Supercab 4x4, half of a 1989 Ford Thunderbird, 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan, 1999 Yamaha Grizzly, 2 motors, 4 axles, and more parts than I can even remember. As you can see, the yellow and purple F-250 is sideways in the garage, and there is actually room behind the truck. My bench is behind it. I actually have to climb under my truck to get to it. The thunderbird is stood in the corner next to the tool box. It is the front and rear clip. I plan on starting to clean the garage next month, and I plan on using the whole month.

Think you hit the nail on the head. I inherited this vice from my dad, who was a precision pattern maker. I never knew anything about it except what he told me when I was a kid when we brought it home "this vice is yours and don't ever get rid of it." That makes me appreciate it a bit more. I never really took to wood like i did to metal, but I don't think it ever really bothered him much.

Thanks for the links, it was always my favorite tool. And it does work pretty good holding a vtwin if you line the jaws with wood
