New Vise !!!!!

Wow! I felt really glad when I got a deal on a five inch vise. That thing is really impressive.

I also did a similar picture where I put my old home owner's 3" vise in the larger vise.

I sent it to a couple of friends claiming to be a vise king. However, since you're holding a five inch vise in there, you must be the new vise king.

Well...I don't know about "vise king"....lol. Who ever owns one of these could probably take the title. :http://www.yostvises.com/12-all-steel-utility-combination-pipe-and-bench-vise-red.html

Mind you...I just had a look. That one is 81 lbs shipping weight. Mine is supposed to be 84 lbs, which surprised me. When I moved it off the stand, and onto the bench, the pain scale in my back said 184 lbs. LOL.

Then there's this thing. Good lord.

Funny thing, this reminds me of when I got my 5 inch vise. I installed it on my bench where my smaller vise had been. Then I got my mill/drill and decided to put it where the vise was. I figured that I would build a stand for the vise and attach it to the bench. Then I would have access to the vise from 3 sides. So I removed the vise while I installed the mill/drill and built the stand.

Up to that point I never realized how often I used my vise, i.e. throw it in the vise to file down the edge, tap a hole, bolt two parts together, etc.

In the three days it took me to install the machine, build the stand, and mount the new vise I must have had over twenty occasions when I wanted to use the vise for some little task.

I really came to appreciate how important they are in the shop.


PS This was my picture I had sent to my friends
