Vises and presses

[Paul in OKC]

Well gang, it looks ike I am done making any of these for a while. My job is busy (good thing), but as I have lost a main cnc machinist(bad thing) with little prospects as late of getting another with his skill, I am swamped and border-line overwhelmed with running the shop and doing the programming and machining. So unfortunately some of the funner things that take up spare time have to go bye-bye for now. Sorry for the inconvenience. I do appreciate the patience of those that have been waiting, and can only say I'm sorry. Probably will be out of touch with the group even for a while, and will miss the things going on here, but hey.......Life is good, so I'll be hangin' in there.
Thanks again.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM ! ! !

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum!

Lets see . . . you definitely still have a job = that's good.

You are very busy @ work, you will probably have a job for a long time = that's good.

You have a list of 300+ people that still want a vise = that's good

We will now have to tell newcomers about the "good old days" when you could buy a custom made quality vise from a guy named PAUL. = that's good

100's of people will now be going to the emergency room because of this. NO, not from the failed attempts of trying to hold a blank with their hand while drilling. It will be from the Chinese piece of crap vise they were now FORCED to buy bouncing off the wall and striking them when thrown against the wall after the 3rd blank blow-out. that's not good

And last, but most importantly, I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY VISE for eons . . . . that's not good . . .

My take on the situation . . .

But in any case, good luck . . . hope to see you back soon with or without vises or is that vices . . . uuuuuum!

Take care,
Steve

For you over serious types, the above is a "FUNNY" . . .
