Due to my experience . . .
Due to my experience with forums, I want to make it perfectly clear why I did my initial post.
Some time back I had tried to order a 4th vise from Paul, but we all know that thread was CLOSED & production was shut down.
He had made one large batch to try to fill "back" orders. He had run into a problem with his anodizer also.
Also, at this same time I believe Paul said he was busy with a new employer.
So, please excuse my ignorance of the PH Design Vise being offered again during my absence. . . . .
Like I said, I have been away for good while . . .
When I paged through my June Issue on Woodturning Design I spotted the vise.
My first thought was Paul was being covered in the magazine . . . and why didn't he have the pretty RED VISE in the magazine article.
After reading & determining that it was someone else, I called the fellow featured in the article.
Spoke with him briefly about the vise & ordered one of his sanding devices.
I'm glad Paul is still making vises. . . . so now you can get a Beautiful RED ANODIZED VISE for $120.00 or a basic aluminum one for $59.99.
Funny thing about all this is I told Paul years ago HIS price was to cheap.
Now, I must be honest, I feel a little "anger" towards Woodturning Design Magazine.
While I may have been ignorant of the PH Design Vise being available again, I now KNOW that Woodturning Magazine WAS NOT ! ! ! !
They actually had a PH Design Vise in their possesion & desided to feature ONLY "TIMS" vise which I'm sure many feel is a copy. I have no problem with Tim's vise, that is between him and Paul. I do have a problem with Woodturning Magazine which I $ubscribe to so I can stay up with techniques & tools.
