You and Dawn are in my prayers :wink:

I have two gassers one is the big and thick one and the other is a coffee can Both are lined with kaowool, satinite and itc 100. I use the coffee can more than the big one. Woody is right The steel casing is only to hold the insulaton . Click on the link provided http://refractory.elliscustomknifeworks.com/ you see everything from steel, bricks, COFFEE CANS, and some funky looking sheet material. Oh and also just because the shell is thicker it still gets HOT :shock: Just my .0000002 cents PJ :mrgreen:

Hollis My vice has that same "c inside a triangle" as your first pic. That is a columbian vice right? How can I tell how old my vice is?? By the way Im in the process of moving into my first bought house; and the shop is 12'x13'. Do you have any pictures of a portable vice mount that is heavy enough so that I can use and move to various locations?Also I just seen the stand that Irnsrgn made and was wondering if that stand was sturdy easly movable. Thanks, Pj :D

Cool Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering but most likely ill leave well enough alone. Do you have any recomendations on how to mount this vise

I have a columbian post vise that has a slightly bent jaw. I bought this thing for 45$ four months ago. The way that its bent is from left two right like someone was prying something real long in it. Is there any way that I can fix this or should I leave it alone?? Its off only about .25" Thanks, Pj Also how can I tell what size this vise is??

Thanks for the welcome. I really like this site Most of all the blue print gallery there is ton of info in there.. Laters, Pj
