Tonight I cut the company Christmas Party short to work on the receiver block holding tooling. The orig shaper vise will work but it needed modified. I didn't want to cut on a high dollar shaper part. So i came up with a 1 1/2" thick block that was 4"x5" that would fit in the open vise. Then I will weld on a 6"x6"x1/2" thick plate to bolt the receiver block to. That way just in case I want to make another one it will be easier. So tomorrow I will machine all of the blocks and get back to building. Maybe I can steal my wifes smart phone and get some pics.
