My bench was always in a mess. I was proud of my filthy bench, bits and parts all over the place. My boss always would say how can you work in such a mess.

your old boss might have had something there because yesterday I had an Elgin 12s dial and movement and now I see it nowhere. it has to be in here somewhere!

hey did I hear you correctly before that you had traded for stuff on the 'Bay? can you do that?

As in, I bought a load of tools including the little vice. Sold the other tools individually which left me with the little vice for free. Ebay definitely don't approve of trading proper.

Finally got around to install the Indian vice on my new bench. Turns out that the base is actually chromed brass. I used wood inserts and SS socket screws.

There weren't many choices but right above the drawer has the advantage that all I need to do is to open it and place a plastic bag to catch filings.

After use it stays put in the same cardboard it came in. The red "visette" is another handy Cousins cheapie which I have already corrected for jaws and slide alignment, but I still have to find a way to fix on the thick bench.
