Haha yeah. I have an addiction for buying tools. Trucks don't do it for me anymore. I really like old and vintage tools and restoring them to use them. Vises are easy to redo because there arent many parts and a lot of people collect them. That vice there is worth $150.

 

Really, there is actually big following of vice collectors... Who knew (other than you). I am a motorcycle guy myself. Unfortunately they are neither cheap, easy to come by, or easy to refurbish.

 

Yeah, on the tool site I'm on there are guys the have 80+ Vises in their collection and pay up to $500 for ones they are looking for. Also people collect ratches and certain year tool boxes. Like caftsman power tools from the 50s or snap-on tool boxes from the 70s. Their are people on the site that have $2 mill into their tools, garage and cars. Then guys like me that are just starting.

Motorcycles are a cool hobby. If I knew how to ride one I'd probably like them more. I like the older Yamahas from the 70s-80s

 

I spent the whole time back with Karla and family. I'm on a pretty tight budget these days so as to kick off the SAS on the 88 so I couldn't afford to travel out of the Gilbert area. I would have done the river but Karla wasn't feeling up to it. I'll be back in town again from 1July till the 8th. Again I will probably not be able to travel outside the Gilbert area but I'll be renting a hybrid to make this trip so as to alleviate the gas expense. Still though let me know if there are any events going on, if anyone has a couple open seats the old lady and I will be down to roll out. Sorry about that guys.

 

No worries man. I figured that's what was goin on. Perfectly understandable.

Mayhem is the 6th of July btw. Will be goin to that if you wanna tag along.

 

Sweet. Gonna look at the tickets now.

 

Im going to mayhem too if you guys wanna roll out together

 

Right on! Yeah my gf and I already planned to go. Same with warped tour.

Cant wait!

 

hmm I should look into warped, not usually my bag but if nothing else I'll go for the hotties

 

Yeah, not sure if youll like it,.but who knows. Lol. I have the day of, and after off work for it. There's a few bands that we want to see. A couple ska/punk bands, and the rest are metal/hardcore. I'm usually not a fan of warped either.. this is only my second one. There has to be a decent amount of bands I'm into to get me to go.

 

I think I'm going to mayhem. And I lost a UCA nut and the bolt was starting to come out yesterday!

 

That's dangerous as Hell man! Did you get a new one?? Red lock tight

 

No im about to go to ace right now and try and find one. Yeah I was going to ask if people put lock tight on them!

 

Yeah put some on it. its not a bolt you take off often. Let me know if you need help I'm off today

 

that's crazy pat!

 

Yeah, I'm very happy I was able to find this one and how great of shape its is for being 80+ years old. only missing one screw for the jaws but I'm thinking I can make or buy a new one. Its really heavy for its size also. Way more heavy duty then my Fuller.
