One last amendment... or two. The midge jaws are more wishful thinking than anything else, as is the pedestal base. Standard jaws will do just fine. Regal, Renzetti, HMH and Dyna-King still interest me most, but I'm willing to look at any good vise. And, if a trade is more to your liking and you're into shooting, I've got an old gunning box (about 40 years) with a lift out drawer inside the top cover and in VG+ condition that I'd be willing to part with. After the "B&E" boys cleaned me out of my hunting and fishing gear while we were away, I've got a boatload of stuff to replace. Some years, it never ends...

Tight lines in 2010, everyone... Hairwing530
