    Help identifying a ball vice.

    Very kind of you to offer the leather donut, Jay. It will complete a nice vise set for Lucierose. She worked hard and did a good job in restoring it, I think.

    As Mike Dubber said and many will recall, the great work and effort that Frank applied at the formation of the Guild in 1982. But some of the newer engravers, members and friends may not know that the idea for the formation of the Guild was the inspiration and work of C. Roger Bleile. The...
