My venerable vise
How many birthday gifts are still used and appreciated after more than 50 years? Probably not one in a hundred. In this case, I can't even remember exactly how old I was, but it must've been during my early teenage years that this solid, basic vise was given me by my oldest brother -- either on a birthday, or possibly Christmas. I think it's one of the few things from that far back that I've managed to hang onto. But then again, how could anybody throw away or abandon a vise?
