T'was a pleasure to meet you too Dave.
Aye, I've been having a play with her. She's all tucked up safely in the workshop for the night now. Thanks ever so much for that vice and those covers. That little vice is a lovely thing. Had a quick play with those covers too. The way you've designed and made those, they fit and work a treat. Loved your project too.
Was a pleasure to see that in the flesh, and it's hellishly impressive.another vice to the collection . dave collected the vice today for matt . nice meeting u
Went through and picked that vice up today. Cheers to both of you for getting that large vice sorted and down here for me.
Dave sent me away with a couple of extra presents too. I'll post some photo's shortly, (Not that I was tinkering and playing in the shed with them earlier though; Honest 
).

Xmas comes early for Matt
It'll be lovely to finally have them here and have a tinker.
Must be a year or two now that I've been failing dismally to get up there for them? Cheers Taitsie, Bigegg and T0rnado.

When I went through to see atconut today, to pick up that vice, he also gave me a vice from his own collection to add to my own. Thanks ever so much Dave. Truly appreciated. It's a particular type/style which I didn't have until today, but now my collection finally has a European style vice in it. It's a lovely little vice. It's quite entrancing watching the rear jaw move instead of the front jaw. I probably spent far more time out in the workshop this evening, winding it in and out, watching it, than would be classed as normal for a grown man.
Those two lengths of aluminium in front of the vice are another thing Dave sorted me out with. They're aluminium jaw insert covers, with a magnetic strip to hold them in place, and a lip running along the top to locate them. They fit and seat snug as a glove atop the jaw inserts on a 6" vice.

You're like a pig in the proverbial Matt, great stuff
I am. The peeps on here are pretty damn brilliant aren't they?
They are.
I can honestly say I've met, dealt with and/or been helped by, some genuinely nice people on and through this forum.

It'll be coming here with T0rnado on Saturday, so only a day or two to go now before I get to see it.

It's lovely knowing those pieces will finally be here in a couple of days. I'll soon be able to stop window licking, so to speak.
