Now I want to make a set for my screwless vise . It's not as big as
yours ... I considered thinning the noses of a couple of my clamp
bars but this is much more elegant .
    Gotta finish the gas check punch set first . Started one of mild
steel but decided to use O1 instead . Because I remembered I have some .

I have a bunch of those imports screwless vises.  I kind of think of
them as consumables, but they do cost a lot more than they used to.

The DeWalt radio is bluetooth linked to the cell phone in the vise.
Yeah, I use the vise as a "camera" mount sometimes when I am working on
that bench.

To the left are the old vise hold downs for that screwless vise.  I used
them for a number of years.  Still have a couple more screwless vises
using those old pin bridge mounts I want to eliminate.

Oh, that reminds me.  I knocked off that blue tap and die case.  I need
to go pick them all up and put them back in the case.  Low grade
Lowes/Kobalt stuff, but its the set I toss in the truck when I go to
somebody else's place to help them out.

Right now I am testing out the radio to see how long it will play on a
3AH 20V tool battery.  Almost 4 hours so far.  Last time I checked the
charge indicator it still indicated full charge.

You should expect over 40 hours for sure. Likely well over 100 at low
volume. Less than1/2 watts power. You have 60 watt hours available.
At full volime of about 2-5 watts you should still see over 24 hours

Getting close to 7.5 hours now.  The first few hours were kind of a chore to hear.  It sounded really flat.  When I turned up the base and the treble it started to sound decent.  Not a lot of EQ adjustment on this thing, but there is enough to make it tolerable.
Been busy all day in the shop, so its just been back ground noise.
