Sure Dave, that is rather manly of you. I'll get right on it. I'll cover the shipping but you will have to cover the handling. 1 Milllllllion dollars :)'

That's some real walkin'-around money there, Jim. I have to withdraw my generous offer. :-)

Rainy afternoon here in the Rogue Valley, so I thought I'd start to clean up the vise, which was truly cruddy. I really enjoy cleaning things.
First pic shows one dirty piece and next to it one that is now cleaned up.
Second pic shows most of the crud off of the jaws and mechanism.
I'll spend some more time on it tomorrow and figure out some pads for the jaws and I think we'll be in good shape.
