I thought this was pretty slick.

Knowing your smith, I wonder how many kittens he had when that octamill dug a hole in those hardened vise jaws. I've got a special mark on my Kurt vise jaws as well. I use it as a quick reminder of which side my jaws go on. gunmaker ------------------ Custom Metalsmith & Stockmaker
