Some things are meant to be, I guess. A couple weeks ago I quoted a guy for a special set of hammer dies and we agreed on a price. Today I was joking with a guy on Iforge about the monster (200 lb) 8" Fisher double screw vise he had on Ebay. Mentioned that I had always wanted one. Turns out it was the same guy and he was selling the vise to pay for the dies! So we made a swap! So Kewl, I'm pumped!

Well, they were made in six sizes from 25 pounds with 3-1/2" jaws, a 120 pounder with 6" jaw all the way up to this 200 pound 8" monster. I didn't see what size Corky had.

I don't know if it was Corky's, but I did see that vise at the conference in the tailgaters' area. I remember the chain catching my eye.

Yeah Corky has a big one, I am pretty sure its an 8 but could be a six.... he was asking $1500 for his as well
Whatever you are, be a good one.

Good old barter, gotta love it. I've swapped work performed for several tools as a youngster. Everybody wins & no cash out of pocket. Not to hijack this thread but there's a small vise like this one on Chicago's Craigslist. It's listed for $80. Besides looking over the lead screw for wear & obvious cracks/damage, I have no idea what to look for? Any advice from the sages would be greatly appreciated? :help:
