Careful, you could just wind up with a career in politics with a statement like that

There you go and insult me................
Politicians are lower than whale dung lol but at least they keep the lawyers off the bottom.................

(note, the above is said in jest with no intention to harm the professions mention as I am aware that there are good and bad in all. Just don't want to anger anyone this time of year....)

I thought the two were mutually inseparable
Having had numerous clashes with the latter (which I might add I enjoyed at times)

Farm Boy,

stubbie holder and cruise control standard

mower is nearly as good as tool

I was going to borrow a mates to do the lawns but I couldn't get in the side gate:eek:

I feel the same way about my Greenfield..

GRS,
I feel much better now, I could see your holiday recreation being severely curtailed by the previous setup! I hope I didn't come across too pushy with that suggestion, but you're right, that's what a forum is all about. But don't those McJing things look good...and I didn't realize they're so cheap.

Speaking of walking into things sticking out of vices, I was finishing off the shape of one of my whittling knives some time back...had it protruding vertically blade-up out of my engineers vice and walked away to do something else (like change a CD) Came back and didn't see the knife...reached across it and SLICE!! opened a very neat and straight line along my little finger and the heel of my palm. Damn they are wickedly sharp, and clamped hard, they don't give!

Cheers,

Andy Mac

No worries mate, thanks for the idea I was unsure what to do there, Mrs GRS even thought it was a tad dangerous. Those McJing things may get a run if they are available here in the west. Your knife episode sounds as if it could have been a lot worse if it wasn't your hand that contacted it:eek:

All the best

Australia Post can be a wonderful beast

GRS,

Nice save on the vice handles. I too am gonna copy your idea, i've been over engineering in my head for some time over getting a longer vice fitted to my bench, yours certainly looks the go.
