    As many youtubers would know this event is getting a lot of coverage around the youtube machinist channels.

    Looks like our own Bruce Whitham is going and doing a talk this year. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC6HG4kXPSgb1Bhx6CY9e6iw

    At the ZeeBash Mr 'Oxtool' will be offering up for charity auction this lovingly made little vise:

    Maybe they will need to find a BIG facility to hold it.

    I have watched the making of that vice. An enormous amout of work put in to it. It was meant to be for last years "What's in Your Box".

    I don't know what the see in that type of vice. Doesn't do much for me. Seems like another case of Brand Hysteria to me. Each to their own tho. Nice copy work all the same.

    My exact thought at the time. I prefer the look of a Dawn. What we are used to I suppose. The Wilton lacks some flat surfaces to support work in my opinion. It also looks flimsy.

    Keith Rucker had a video on doing a repair on his Wilton a while back.
