Score - We all have Vices and this is mine

Brad_bb · January 19, 2025, 12:21:29 AM

I was cleaning/organizing tonight and came across this. I found it last spring on Marketplace. It's a Christiansen vise. I know becuase I own an antique Christiansen woodworkers bench with the same vise and an end vise. This vise will work well on a new top I make for another bench. I can't remember for sure but maybe I paid $125??

There are worse things to be addicted to, that's for sure!

Brad bb:
I suggest you get your dictionary out and look up vice and vise.
Based on your title I was not expecting what you showed!

GAB - @Brad_bb is very literate and this was most likely a finger drag or, much more likely, on purpose.
Typos catch my eye as well, but I'm really hoping he just passes over your comment with a sly smile.
That comment from @rusticretreater definitely was funny and sly.
For example, look at that fox @customsawyer - his 'Sourthern' thread purporting to be about ticks, gnats and chiggers.
Ha! That 'typo' blew up the FF with 10 pages of high quality input. About almost everything under the sun. Even ice fishing. Amazing.

GAB, consider letting spell-check and the other "@&$!!!-check do their work.

So BB's vice now is having another vise.

No problem there.

Magicman · January 22, 2025, 07:50:12 PM

That was the way that I read it.

Brad_bb · January 23, 2025, 01:35:35 AM

Yes, an intentional play on words.

@Andries Thanks for the compliment. That could make my head swell!

rusticretreater · January 23, 2025, 03:10:51 AM

Ah so we are conflating Vice with Vise and vice versa while discussing a man's vises he says are his vice.

doc henderson · January 23, 2025, 06:34:13 AM

Brad, if your head swells too much... well there is your vise/vice. although I speak English, I make mistakes when typing fast. I am conceptual not literal and really like puns. We were having issues when a kindergarten teacher wanted to fail my son for not reading at grade level. turns out two other boys she held back the year before in a class of 12, were teasing him he could not read, and he got so nervous he couldn't. In the discussion, she said she taught things like the proper way to spell gray/grey. I had to then ask her well which is it? there two correct ways to spell gray/grey. One is a color, and one is a name, mostly. Put both kids in public school. the Christian school was pushing kids to "prove" they were superior to public schools. All the studies show the reading early all averages out by age 18. I had to make a dozen corrections to this post. I guess I should have left them. GAB, it is all good. I know you are literal, a perfectionist and mean well. Carry on.

There are worse vices to have, nothing wrong with an old one as long as it doesn't cause problems and you can keep it behind closed doors.

That's my advise.

customsawyer · January 29, 2025, 06:36:52 AM

Ole Andries throwing me under the bus again. I like it.
You other fellers with your play on words are giving me a brain aneurysm. I'm going to go get some Tylenol now.
