The pic 003 JPG is a foot operated vice and is great for when you are working hot metal and do not want  loose any heat.
You pre adjust the jaws. Then when you have your work heated, just stick it between jaws and step down on the foot lever and it is locked in place.
The 2 post vices pictures 007 and 008 I have had for some time.
OH BrokenHawk, I will put you on the list but I must tell you that you are # 7 or 8 on the list Sorry  cuch

ohhhh ahhh -  strpot   

I suppose I will have to make a road trip to Monkeywright's and Old Salt's place to see these goodies in person....

If I am not careful I will have to post a couple of rifles/pistols in the for sale area to make some cash to buy some of that plunder....

Have only sold one BP gun since I got the bug, Sold Dennis back his Tennessee .50 cal, (and I got it back a few weeks later...)  Don't think I could bring myself to sell anything I got from him or Old Salt either.... they were/are like fathers to me.... and don't make any offers for "Patience" either....

Was going to let you all know that there maybe a few more things that we are going be adding to the list of new toys will past along any extra stuff we can get our hands on.

Maybe I'm wrong but the deals that we got were well worth the time/ fuel but to get 6 hours of time learning and just BS-ing with Old Salt well that was worth way more than the goodies that we picked up.
