And then, there were two. - Gregory of Sherwood Forest - 01-30-2016
A few years ago, thanks to the generosity of Jonathan up there in beautiful Alaska (and his fortune at being the recipient of the greatest hurricane of suckage to date by a member of this forum), I had acquired one of those wonderful ACME vises, a cast iron version in blue. Yup, he shipped it to me and I've enjoyed using it ever since.
Today, I happened upon another of these almost mythical beasts, this time in green aluminum. I grabbed it. I brought it home, and it works great.
I seriously doubt that I will be keeping both, but I will be playing with them both for as long as I own them.
The first, cast iron, from Jonathan:
Next, the alumimum one I found today.
I really have no need for them both, but it might be tough to let go of either. The cast iron one, with such a fabled story behind it, must remain in my shop, methinks.
I'm in a pickle...

They look like they would be so easy to work on saws with. A person would not have to stop and move the saw a few times and they look heavy duty too.
Nice stuff.

First, you suck. Second, if you do sell one I would gladly buy either. And lastly, I'm not kidding, I would buy either one that you'd be willing to sell.

I cant believe your timing. That would have been too much to pass up.
Well, that was the closest I have ever been to getting an Acme. Only a week too late.

Nice score Greg! I have one of those green aluminum ones, mines only 26", my cast Iron is 28". I use the aluminum, its so much lighter and easier to move around.
Oh, I would say you suck, but you only scored one, so you don't!!!!
