😂😂 you to suffer from those pesky gremlins that like to hide stuff until well after you don't need it huh? 😂😂

@@demonknight7965 yes

The museum is open every Friday during the summer, or you can call the main office and schedule a museum tour.

Na a shotgun is a lot more fun and personal.

A few bars would be great

Maybe a sign indicating an active business? Otherwise it could be mistaken for a showroom or museum.

Perhaps it's only me, but a lock washer or two on a vise that is going to see some possible vibration and stress might not be out of order. But that's just me. I'll leave it to the professionals. As for putting the round end in the corner, that would appear to place the hold down bolts in the best position to take the load. The bolt in the corner adds nothing except holding the vise flat on the steel plate.

@@jerrylondon2388 What kind of work are you thinking he will be doing in the office? Good lord.... "load" , "vibration", and "stress"! It is a micrometer vise!!!

@paulcopeland9035 Good lord! Why 200 lbs of steel for a base instead of plywood or melamine? It's not a precision surface that could be used for precision measurement.

If they pony up the bucks!

I was worried more about the sun shining into a metrology lab.

He is Starrett sales people! You think this was not preplanned?

@@SteveColluns-hm2xx You're asking me to disprove an entirely unfounded accusation. Seems backwards. Here's what bothers me. Adam has never done anything to harm you, ever, in any way, shape, or form. And yet your personal issues drive you to stop by for every new video, and try to find a way to inflict harm on him. Your comment contains false speculation, with the sole aim of trying to damage his reputation in some way, or to make people think less of him. I suspect what really goes on in your head is something like "I'm smarter than him, I'm better than him, I'm a better machinest, I know more stuff. I deserve half a million viewers. I deserve people saying nice things to me and admiring what I do." I suspect this because that's pretty much how my mind used to work, every day, all day, with the people around me. "Please respect and admire me!" It's not an uncommon problem. The old standard technique of cutting others down to try to make myself look good doesn't really work. My desperate need becomes blatantly obvious, very quickly. My pain is obvious to everyone around me. And... nothing gets any better. A whole life, wasted in a futile pursuit. Unless...

@@SteveColluns-hm2xx You're missing the whole point.

​@@SteveColluns-hm2xx Huh? Who said that? I'm kinda curious about where this obsession came from -- to prove how wrong he is, and how right you are. It's not normal to carry something like that to such an extreme. It suggests an imbalance of some kind. There's nothing wrong with saying "I'd do it this way," and that sort of thing -- lots of people do that, but that's not what you do. Between the two of you, I'd suggest you're putting more effort into trying to prove you're extraordinary. When my life was like that, it was because I had a desperate need. I'm not saying that's you, I'm just saying when I was like that, it was because of a hole in my soul, not a hole in my worktop! I'll take you at your word that you've had good success in your business, but it's far more important to try to have good success as a human! And that's as simple as making a choice.

@@SteveColluns-hm2xx So... you have only one way of doing things, it sounds like. I don't think I usually see other KZfaq presenters saying "Well, you could do it this way, or that way, or do it how Steve does it." Sometimes, yes -- a discussion of the alternatives, and usually in those cases, it's the presenter saying "Here's why I don't do it that way." Stefan does that, and I greatly admire and respect him. He is excellent at what he does, and he shows it in his work (which is quite different than the work you do every day! Just... different.) I would hate to watch videos that were always cluttered up with such alternatives for everything; it defeats the purpose of finding out how someone thinks. But if you want to present different ideas, then do so, on your own channel. Even if nobody watches, it would at least help get it out of your system! Expecting Adam to conform to your will, present your thinking and your alternatives... that doesn't seem realistic to me. And trying to use the comments to do it for him, especially with all the rudeness and insults and imaginary scenarios... uh uh.

Replied, but the reply was deleted, sorry!

You are suggesting that an improper financial relationship has been established between Starrett and the channel. All the new Starrett tools and the gift of an expensive vintage vise were slated for the dumpster and rescued by Abom. Abom saved these tools from the landfill and should be commended for his commitment to the environment.

The programming time would be 12-18 months! He barely knows how to turn it on, let alone programming it!

"Startette"?

If he doesn't that's going to bug him every time he looks at it!

The grass is always greener in KZfaq land, lol.

Let me quantise that, I have £1,300 of Starrett tools in my little hobby shop. I will also get more. 100% down to you, Adam.

I have a number of vices, tobacco, alcohol, several others. I don't plan on parting with them. However, yo should be able to find someone to sell you something for holding items, a viSe.

Been there done that.Da.
