[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1086989, member: 90399"] Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure there are many things that could have been done to make this better. I believe you are talking about 2 spots, the base of the 2x4's to the 2x6 and where the c-clamps attach. I promise, those clamps are in there tight. I pulled on them dang hard quite a lot before I painted it. The vertical 2x4's are attached through the bottom with 3 inch screws. On top of that I used Wood glue. Not sure if you've ever used wood glue, but it bonds pretty tough. Used on the boards before I screwed them in and then around the perimeter. I'm not planning on doing any rebarrel jobs with this vise. I yanked and jarred this thing around good before painting. I'm pretty sure it will last me a long time for what I will be using it for; scope mounting, rifle cleaning, glass bedding, etc... But yes, I absolutely agree, there are probably a lot of things that would have made it even tougher. But then I would have to give up my cool story about building it using stuff I had laying around the house and a $6 spray paint job. :) [/QUOTE]
