Paul received the vice today, is she awesome[:D]!!, I think this Sunday I will make her runing red hot, not much kits to turn now but will cut and drill blanks [:p] Thank you very much, did you sell any to Downunder before or I'm the first one?

After ordering Paul's vise and wondering if I made a mistake while waiting for it to come in. I mounted (only did 3 of the 4 screws due to the one being very close to the handle)it per the instructions.. Put a cheap blank in and drilled. I never looked back. Needless to say I took the one I bought from woodcrafters out for its final burial the next day. Man what a .45 does to it. [:p]
 
I can now also attest to the accuracy of the PHD vise. I had been using a machinists vise with v-notched inserts. I ruined or nearly ruined more blanks than I care to admit and wound up doing my critical drilling on the lathe. No more. The only problems I have now are due to the squareness (or lack thereof) of my ryobi benchtop DP and I'm working on that. Thanks, Paul!
 
My complaining worked! The mail lady brought my vise yesterday [:p]. It lives up to all the praises that have been said about it in the previous posts. If you can get on Paul's list for his next batch, do so - you won't be sorry.[:)]

<br />Is the vise made of aluminum or steel? Just curious, thanks.

Both. The angle supports and jaws are aluminum. The screw is steel, the guide rods (which run in bronze bushings)are polished and grounds steel, handle is cast iron. I have thought about making an all steel version, or one with cast iron jaws, but....

I've known Paul for about a year and a half and I think I have ALL of his vices (and then some). I also have one of his vises. [8D]

Hey Lou, didn't you and Paul used to do a show together from MIAMI VICE?

The beauty of having both jaws move at the same time is that the jig is self centering. Once you mount it and set it up, it doesn't matter if you are drilling 1/2" stock for slimlines or 1" stock for a Panache...or anything in between. [8D]

And yes, Peter...Paul and I worked in Miami for a while under the names "Desmond and Molly". But that's another story all together. [:p]

Was that the 'other' Miami Vise [:p]
Update-- My job is trying to take over what spare time I have again, so the going will be a little slower(than usual!) Plus my suppliers are getting too busy for the 'little guy' lately, but I will keep plugging along. Thanks to all for your patience.

I've had mine for a few weeks and must say... Wow! Really makes a not so fun part of pen making much easier, accurate and productive. Thanks so much Paul![:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
 
Hi Paul,
Got my vice this afternoon, it is now set up and have done some testing. It sure is amazing that I can go from 3/4" sq. to 1X 1" sq. and not have to fuss around to make sure I hit the center. That is a amazing littel vice. I like it thanks.

Paul received my vise today. I was so pleased with the sturdyness of it. I am looking foward to drilling my bottle stopper blanks with it. I put a 2 inch square bottle stopper blank in the jaws, and it held it tight. The design is just so well thought out. I will have to make a nice mounting board for the vise, because a plain MDF just won't do.

Send me an e-mail and I will add you to the list. I am waiting for one for set of parts next week and will begin assembly. (come t othink of it, aren't you already on the list?)
 
Sounds like lots of joy tears will be flowing. Hoping I've made it down inside of #100. Waiting patiently but it's not easy with all the anticipation from the comments you guys keep making about how I won't need sliced bread any more [:D]
