Building specialty tools

[swampratt]

So I like to make my own tools instead of just buying them all the time.
Thinking of an easy way to make a barrel vise.
take a look, a really good look at this.

I am sure many of you have seen this shaped thingamajig.

Amazon.com

Think way back now and think about your man parts or your knees.

The goose neck on a bicycle.

It seems you would still have to line the bicycle part with rubber. You might take the rubber from an inner tube and wrap around a vice? Or make a v-shape in two pieces of wood and somehow attach to vice?
Just throwing things out there.

Well listen, you're not working on my man parts with either of those. All this time I thought you were a regular guy, but I feel like I've been sexually assaulted. If you're into that stuff take your wife to motel 6 with the toys and go to another town, that's what I do.

Stop it with the rubber and leather comments or between you and red dirt I will have to move the thread to P&HT.....

Hey, if you just need to borrow one for a one time job, you are welcome to borrow one from me, I have a couple, just don't bring them back with any weird stains.
