    Ball vice mount

    A few quick fixes, Jonathan. 1) Use a higher or adjustable chair or stool. 2-3-4) Mount your vise on a GRS (or equal) Vise Shelf, shelf and adjustable height bracket or portable vise stand. Hope you enjoy your scope.

    Wasn't sure where to introduce myself (new member)...lots of progress pics

    Chip, looks good. Next time heat 'till bright red hot and bury it in a pan of clean sand (aquarium) or crushed charcoal to cool slowly. Will be softer and much easier to cut.

I strongly suggest that you try them all first before buying anything. Unfortunately, your air brush compressor will not produce enough volume...
