Way too cool Sawyer Rob...
I have bought a few good vices in preparation for the day when all the pieces fall into place... so they are still in storage.
Did miss out on one I commented on that an elderly friend had... he bought the home in 1922 and the vice had belonged to his Grandfather and the Great Grandfather forged it...
It was very large with the tail or tang that was hinged almost touching the garage floor.... it had no slide as it was pre-slide.
Always admired the handiwork... they had no children and he said if he were to ever get rid of it he would let me know... I stayed in touch and one Christmas didn't get a card which I always did in response to a gift I sent... turned out they both had passed a few months back...
