After looking for years, I finally found it. Pasadena City College Flea Market. About 100 years old. Clean. Works great. Feels good in the hand. A bit pricey, but hey, these things obviously don't come along that often.
I first encountered one in Keith LoBue's class. Ah, the things I have learned from Keith. The Master of Tools. He was singing the praises of this little gem. And opined that they were easy to find - sounded as though they were practically lying around every little sale and flea market. Right. Maybe in Australia, Keith!
So, what is the name of this new love of my life? It's a hand vise. For all those times when the bench vise is too big and the pliers is too small.
Oh, ok, I know I am weird. But really.
This is the new love of my life.
Sorry, bub.
:) you crack me up.
