Oh, wait, I meant vise...
Here is my garage sale find of the summer. Not as good of a deal as the viola my wife found last summer, but I still like it. The guy I bought it from was cleaning out his late grandmothers house. He was about my age actually. The vise was in the garage, where his grandpa used it restoring old cars...Ford model A's specifically. The cool thing about it to me is it is the same (or almost) as the vise my grandpa had on the farm in his shop where he worked on tractors of similar vintage...back when those were still in use, not just for collectors. I shared this with him as well, in hope that it might mean something to him that his garndpa's stuff was going to someone who'd appreciate it, as well as use it.
