Chris' link is here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.woodworking-magazine.com/<BR/>blog/New+Source+For+Wooden<BR/>+Vise+Screws.aspx<BR/><BR/>I think you can get directly to Joe's site at: www.bigwoodvise.com<BR/><BR/>BTW...I don't think these hyperlinks will work, so you may have to just cut and paste the URLs. I hope this helps.Jeff Skiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193511181361305951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702992912065040751.post-9285585766955486562008-03-26T23:19:00.000-04:002008-03-26T23:19:00.000-04:00Damon,Thanks for your compliments on Heinz. FYI.....Damon,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your compliments on Heinz. FYI...we had a great time meeting you and the other guys from the East Coast. I think we have finally put Michigan's East Coast/West Coast Gangsta Rapper Woodworking Feud to rest.<BR/><BR/>By the way, please don't mention Gwyn. She's my mail order Russian bride that I keep in a small condo over in Lake Orion. If Gail ever finds out about her, my marriage is OVER.<BR/><BR/>As for Marc Adams, I need to dedicate at least an entire blog entry to him and the school.<BR/><BR/>Short version...in 2004 I get into Woodworking and catch David Marks on DIY. He quickly becomes my TV Mentor. I decide to take a class with David, but didn't want to travel to California. Hey... COOL!!!!! David is teaching a class at some school 8 miles from my parent's house in Indianapolis.... I've been combining vacations, family visits, and woodworking classes ever since.<BR/><BR/>I have this idea that when I reach eternal judgment and God says, "Well done, my good and faithful servant," the pearly gates will swing open to reveal a place similar to Marc's school.Jeff Skiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193511181361305951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702992912065040751.post-87279536345832132772008-03-26T23:11:00.000-04:002008-03-26T23:11:00.000-04:00Ron, The truth is my wife doesn't have time to rea...Ron, <BR/><BR/>The truth is my wife doesn't have time to read my blog. As a world famous Pediatric Cardiologist she is constantly jetting all over the world to save the lives of innocent children. Then, when she does have a free moment, she is always doing one of her modeling gigs just to prove to herself that she still "has it." Not only does she not have time to spend the millions she makes...she cannot even begin to touch all of the money her Oil Baron father left her. <BR/><BR/>(OK...that's complete B.S., but I said that in the hopes of stirring up insane jealousy in the hearts of any old girlfriends who happen across my blog.)<BR/><BR/>In reality, Gail and I are reverse of the American Stereotype. I'm a spender, and she is frugal. If she drops $25 on yarn (she's a prolific knitter) you would think she had stolen food out of an Ethiopian child's mouth. ($25 = H-U-G-E buyer's remorse: "I don't know if I should have spent that much...")<BR/><BR/>Gail and I compliment each other very well.Jeff Skiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193511181361305951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702992912065040751.post-12361293907700763172008-03-26T22:07:00.000-04:002008-03-26T22:07:00.000-04:00Bronze 4.5 is good.

Where did you score the huge wooden screws? <BR/><BR/>My workbench consists of glued up 2"x3"x6.5's over two saw horses solid as a rock until I convert a certain pile of 6/4 maple that is adjusting to my shop conditions.Victor - in Hot and Humid Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623739315682699902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702992912065040751.post-744159348958464392008-03-26T06:49:00.000-04:002008-03-26T06:49:00.000-04:00It looks like in the pictures that your little num...It looks like in the pictures that your little number one is having a tough time keeping up with the big boys.
