Bozz:
If I get hold of a couple of old pallets do you fancy a few days in st Ives

Shipping would be the deal breaker, the vice only cost £18 then shipping from my office to spain cost £30.

It's painful spending that much on shipping isn't it. You should fabricate a set of soft covers for the vice face when working on delicate car parts

love a bit of recycling - well done!
All done. I just need to pick up some varnish now to finish it.
reckon this would look a lot better in "oiled" finish (not Millers - Ha HA..) rather than varnish - much easier to look after too...

So this isn't the first time I've recycle some old timber and found a new life for it...
My previous builds were french polished, stained etc.
This time around I only lightly sanded some areas of the wood because they were branded with shipping logos. By only using a clear gloss varnish it will add the protection I need whilst still showing these brands. If I do stain it in any way, I won't see the brands as they're quite faded as it is!

Stunning work!!! :drool:
Currently sorting my garden by levelling and putting down some decking. Hopefully for next spring, will try and make something similar. If I can get it looking half as good as you, I'd be a happy man! :congrats:
