How proud are you of the vise you broke? Is that why you did such a crummy job bolting the replacement down, hoping you wouldnt do it again?

Philips head bolts. Genius has limits, but, as you clearly illustrate, stupidity does not.

Phillips head bolts. Used to mount a vise. And, showing the world you did it, and then, showing the new base where the manufacturer had to redesign it, in a picture just as crummy as anything else on the web. Better start hitting those garage sales, those original vise bases are likely to be collectors items with guys like you doing such a crummy job mounting them and then breaking them.

You are a laugh parade, to anybody who knows anything.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The one lesson you really need to learn is, your dinky parrot vise is never going to be a Wilton.

Best,
Ted
