My Favourite Vice

Trying to sort out clutter and sell of some surplus items. As part of that, built a workbench yesterday for fettling and whittling and providing storage space for carp underneath. In the meantime, spotted a SH Irwin Record No. 84 with quick release Vice on Gumtree which was got for a goodly price. Should be able to file my nails now. Just a rubbish thread trying to justify my existence. Although not visible, leg braces are fitted. Further bracing to be completed today.

 

Probably a good idea ODA though I wonder whether it was a deliberate decision to change or, as with other words, simply the spelling that came into common use over there?

 

You are right DCS.....well spotted. It broke just as I got to Brighton in 1993 (or thereabouts) doing the London to Brighton bicycle ride. Has been languishing ever since but hopefully can put it back into use for my son(s).

 

Look, don't rush me. Am still trying to work out whether to keep my winning conker.......

 

Keep an eye on Pre-loved and Gumtree Duck.......a lot of peeps don't realise what they are getting rid of...get your wife to carry it to car though cos it can be a bit niggling for your back.

 

Look....... it's been put to heavy engineering use already fixing my son's shoe......
