    A quote from "Life of Brian" seems fitting here:

    You Lucky, lucky Bastard!
    Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

    The Vee jaws are a standard accessories for this vise for those that were talking about them. As a loose item often separated for the vise and off with all the left socks.

    Well I finally finished something!

    Welded the damaged sides, then milled the welds and sides and finished the new handle. Had some problems with the welding, its not perfect but it will do. I was thinking of stripping it and repainting it but not yet.

    Thanks AB for supplying the dimensions for the handle.

    As you can see the handle has been replaced with a valve from somewhere and one side has suffered some damage. Also, one of the clamping bolts on the underside is missing.

    I'm going to turn up a new handle but I'm not sure of the required length, if anyone has one the dimensions would be appreciated (the length of the handle and the two knobs).

    The damage to the side I'm not sure if it's worth trying to fix. Maybe weld some material onto it and then machine in down? Or just machine the channel a bit deeper? Any suggestions?

    Cheers

    that will match my one (or all) of my Waldown's just nicely Ben
