[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 905726, member: 43153"] I take this to mean that the answer to my 1st question is no, the plastic vise blocks are a no-go, and 2nd Q is yes, I WILL need to use a straight-up, all-out barrel vise, such as the wheeler (in Potterfield's video, as sold by his company (that IS the one that I've been eyeing up). Or maybe the 4-bolt Tubb style seen the other guy's video? Seeing the videos does put the size of these things into better perspective, as compared to how much smaller paper drawings of them [like on the action wrench instruction paper] make them seem. When I first got the action wrench and saw how big it actually was, I DID have an immediate gut feeling that the plastic vise blocks weren't going to work. But when someone said "just use some rosin", I thought maybe. But I mistakenly bought player's rosin, which is in 1 solid block, instead of baker's rosin, which is in powdered form. I'll have to try powderizing it with the hi-speed grinder that I normally use for grinding my AN prillz. Just have to clean it real well to be sure not to contaminate any AN with something that it could make use of as a fuel while it is in the grinder - as it only needs a little bit to be capable of going "critical". I have thought-up something [to build] that I will try tomorrow. That failing (the way things are going, it will), I'll order-up and wait for the 465185 wheeler vise. [/QUOTE]
