First off let me say I love it. Looks functional and best of all it looks home-made. I love it when I see people using tools they made themselves, usually better than store bought nowadays. Now I would love to see a few more pics maybe a side shot, is the part that swings around adjustable for different sized stock or pretty much set. Thanks for sharing. Chris |

Nice work Rusty! Looks like you did a great job putting it together. I agree with Chris - let's see some more pics! |

Great tool Rusty, that is one of the things I like best about smithing is the ability to make the tools we need and not have to buy premade items of questionable quality. I KNOW when I make something that it's quality is mediocre at best but I made it and I'll do it better next time! Also go to the User CP at the top and let us know where you live, maybe we're neighbors!
