    It appears to be something required for steampunk sculpture work. Based on one of the pictures.

    Those pictures need a few rivets, some steam, and a torpedo welder. And maybe smashing pumpkins music.

    I like the safety goggles the dude has on.

    I need those for some motorcycle riding.

    If I remember right, Crokinole is like tiny desktop shuffleboard/curling, but you approach the center from all sides. The board was like a chinese checkers one, sort of hex-shaped or something. I think it might be a Canadian thing . . . i vaguely remember my grandparents friends playing it.

    I like the video where he's using the vise to sharpen a pencil.

    I could see how this could be an interesting solution if you making a lot of some weird thing. The part that fascinates me is the handwheel and casings for the screws . . . it makes me wonder if LV is working on some sort of wagon vise. . .

    I have absolutely zero need for them, but darn it all if they aren't cool. I want them! Might as well throw in the deluxe spider vise while we are at it...
    Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.
