P.S. Google "qoutes about vices" There's quite a few!! Pity you don't live in Miami

P.P.S. Of all the tools I have (and I have quite a few) I don't posses a good bench vice

nice score. Maybe Kelly Johnson himself used it. my "vice" is buying radials. I have the same vice in my shop.

Nice collection, and much better than the Chinese pressed graham cracker vises that Horrible Freight sells.

I do see the crux of your real problem, I can actually see parts of your bench which means you don't have nearly enough 'objects of interest or functionality'.

I think you are misguided in your hobby. You should try a hobby that requires the use of explosives:

I used to have a pyro licence... I could clear a room at a party by merely throwing an innocent cigarette packet on the table from across the room & shutting the door with me on the other side of it... people would pile out of windows...

Then after a few parties people would be at ease again & ignore the cig packets...
