Todays Project - What did you do today?

Billy,
Quite a nifty holding device

Cool tool Bill.

A watchmaker with arthritis? That is just plain wrong.

But then again I am biased because of not being able to do overhead work due to similar issues with bum shoulders.

Dear Mr. Old Age,

[Bill Gruby]

All done except for cosmetics.

Picked up a "Do-All" commercial belt sander from probably the 60's or 70's.

Runs pretty good, and all there, (Electrics are old, being changed,) But quite a mess, must have been in a body shop or someplace as it is covered in many coats of overspray, and lots of paint spilt on it.
Have it dismantled and partly stripped. Trying to locate a local supplier of the belts which are 3in x 48 inch.

No pictures, it didn't happen.

I cleaned up the little vise with a "Flycutter". Now it's presentably.

That's a beauty William!

Thank you Ed. Someone asked me once what my definition of a "Flycutter" was. I told him it was a Facing Tool for a Milling Machine.

Bill looks great!!
how exactly dose it work?
It appears that it would actually pull on a part secured between the posts as you tighten the wing nut rather than clamp.
