Never seen one that would take me more than 2 hours to be done unless

Unfortunately that has become the norm, or maybe we just skip the ones
we recognize and are no long interested in seeing.

Back in the late 70's and early 80's i recall seeing shows in Houston
that were big enough that you might miss something if you did not spend
all day.

I recall many many booths selling single tools. Like the router ringer
tool that would let you make a bowl with a router from a single square
piece of wood. The solid steel router tables that operated like the
Multirouter. Remember the guy selling the Zyless vice? ;~) And many
many more.
I've got a knock off vise of that vise.. Bought it at a garage sale with
all these doodads.. I paid $5 and love it. I have used it for a few
things, not many, but it has paid for itself at that price.. Can't see
spending the $300 that Zyless wanted.




Jeez was it $300??? I bought mine at the show, early 80's and would not
have paid that much. Probably paid a little over $100.

I still use mine on occasion. It is one of those dust collectors but
does get used much more than the friggin PC detail sander, model 444,
that is no longer available new.
