150673 Jack Kamishlian <kamishlian@g...> 2005‑10‑03 Face vise
GGs,

Thanks to a suggestion of one of you on the list, I finally made a
face vise to mount in the Record vise on my workbench.  I used a Lee
Valley's "press screw" ($16.95).  It seemed kind of light weight, but
in retrospect, it does the job. I looked at their shoulder vise screw,
and it was way too heavy.  Now it will be easier to do dovetails, etc.
without looking for a compensating piece of wood of the same thickness
to keep from racking tyhe Record vise.

Thanks again for the suggestion.
