    You will like using that vice a lot more than working on the ground.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Very nice build, and the color will keep you from bumping into it, will also keep the rust at bay no matter what color. I knew a guy a few years ago who worked construction and was given a 55 gallon drum of fire engine red paint. Everything around his place was red for several years until he ran out.

    Using threaded rod and nuts as a hinge is brilliant.
