That looks like a fun project- I think I'll build one too

On a side note- I can really smell the smoke here from the fires. Yikes. Again.
I knew we were in for it with all the lightning the other nite

Ash all over my house here in Santa Cruz today.

Driving to work this morning the air was smokey with a dull orange on the horizon.
California is on fire as usual.

Well, we knew it was coming.

Some know better than most unfortunately....

I experienced one of those "derecho" storms (like they just had in the Midwest) in Northern Michigan a few years back. It took out thousands of trees in our town and did a ton of damage right before our annual Harbor Festival. That was scary, I opened all the doors and windows, and took the family down into the basement since I didn't know what was happening.

Angry planet.

Smell smoke here too. It always puts us on edge.

I knew I didn’t want to spend more on a vise than what I paid for my mill and I also knew I didn’t need a rotating base. I also wanted to have the flexibility to hold something vertical so I bought the 4” version of this style of CNC/tool makers vise. I have used it several times on its side and it works perfect. YMMV.

we’ve got red sky and smoke in the air. Guess they had a couple of fires just north of us in Cayucus. Both out thankfully. C’mon sea breeze......
