   When I was still working in 2-way radio service I had access to a   
   heated shop you could drive several vehicles into. Their work bench was   
   a joke and it had a small, maybe 3 inch vise that had been beat to   
   hell. Bent sliding handle, chewed up jaws and almost a full turn on   
   the handle to move the jaws. I'd put this vise in the back of my truck   
   and bring it along when I thought it might be handy for working after   
   hours on my stuff. Had a cap on my truck so it wasn't obvious in the   
   bed and out of the weather. It worked nice for those occasions🙂️

   Between high tech jobs I took summer repair work with a friend who was   
   running the food booths at a Renaissance Faire. One of his radios failed and   
   I fixed it at a crude wooden table while wearing a wizard costume. That's   
   REALLY wizardry.
