What do we do in the face of high pricing.......?
Start with various solutions here in hallways of HMT.net

This is where someone starts chanting "DIY, DIY, hey, hey! DIY, DIY!!" Sound about right?

Eloquently put!
I'm itching to get back into working on instead of gathering materials. Started about 2-1/2 years ago, then on hold a year.....attacking a different way now.

Sounds like a good collaborative project.
A number of us arrange to each build enough parts for a vise or two per participant.

That way on person builds say ten bases, another builds twenty jaws, a third builds x number of large pivots, etc.

Everyone makes one type of part, trying to equalize the costs and labor between the different parts.

Once everything is made all the parts are distributed and everyone gets a vise.

Should be possible with the skills here. Fitment might be tough, but still possible with todays accuracy.

Logistics would be the biggest issue, shipping costs, and agreement on the distribution of labor/material costs.

It's nice to dream though...

First we would have to discuss which measurement system we are going to use Afterwards fitment should be no problem
