  • Back in June when I was supposed to be at the Bar Z Summer Bash I ended up going to an auction ant my favorite hardware store in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. I won several auctions including this Craftsman vice made in the USA. It was in good condition just missing the cross bar. In this video I will make the replacement bar and shape the ball ends on it without the benefit of a ball turner.

      I really missed going to the Bash this year but the plane flight that I was offered was just too late. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Nice vise score. Man I can't believe the airlines screwed you over like that. I would have been livid.

      I was less that happy about it but I made the best out of the weekend that I could and made some good scores at the auction. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Nice video and work. That was a pleasure to watch.

  • @bobvines00
    @bobvines00 Před rokem +2

    Steve, will you also be adding some "rubber" washers between the ball-ends and the screw to lessen the banging as the handle slips down due to gravity? Great job!

    • @sharkrivermachine
      @sharkrivermachine  Před rokem +1

      I actually considered it while I was filming the last scene. I think that I have some thick "O" rings that will do the trick if I can't find thick washers. Thank you for watching and commenting.

    Nice repair…think I have the same vise, I added shims to the slide to correct the alignment

    • @sharkrivermachine
      @sharkrivermachine  Před rokem

      I did notice that the jaw is a little sloppy. This is a nice light weight vice. Not sure what I am going to do with it, but I do plan to clean it up and repaint it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Need a couple of rubber washers on there before you set it with Loctite.

      I thought about that and was going to say something about it. I have some heavy "O" rings that I may try. Thanks for watching and commenting.
