Incredible how often I found the use for both away from home.

Some of the New Jersey "Wise Guys" in the States are giving you a knowing nod right now 😎

Handy kit for dismembering found wood and other dismembering "needs"

I got in the habit of the cordless saw in the boot as I used to buy my timber from a wrecker, who also sold great Jarah offcuts/rejects, perfect hobbyist size and quality.  He only loaned a blunt handsaw if you couldn't fit it into the car... bloody hand tool???, gimme a break!

Also our local Bunnings would not break down MDF sheet goods, health hazzard.  I was often seen in the car park with the sheet goods propped on disposable pallets, cutting into car sizes with the cordless.  I may never repeat that practice anymore, however, just never stopped carrying it.

I picked up one of these vises at a yard sale a few years ago basically still in its box and unused.

Unfortunately in remote downtown Churchill, about all one can pick up at a garage sale, on the tools side, is some mallet and chisels (for stone) and on the fashion stakes a lot of obsolete oversized "bi quadkinis".

I usually clamp mine to a saw horse.

Dug it out.

"Vundervise" with a "Woodshop" logo so probably a magazine promotional. Made in Taiwan, aluminimum,

Both of mine are aluminium, however, you can see the difference in the finish between the two... fortunately functionality doesn't seem to be affected.

Made in Taiwan?... wow!... I remember as a kid we'd poo-poo any "made in Japan" logo... hell I'd kill for that now... with the Chinese swill being currently dished up, I'd kill for a "made in Taiwan" logo.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
