It is not stainless but aluminium. I got mine from here:- http://www.warburtech.co.uk/products/robotics/hubs/nexus.18009.10mm.aluminium.universal.hub/

Yes thats the one. Buffed up with my Dremmel. I wanted to use something other than wood screws so went for stainless steel machine screws and Gold annodised dome head nuts to add a bit of bling I got the nuts from Pro Bolt who make bling it up car and motorbike accsesories.

Having got my new J-Vice I then set off on my goal to make a base. I had in mind some nice hard wood and after trolling ebay but not finding a suitable piece of wood I put a wanted ad and got a reply from a wood worker who happened to have his workshop very close to me. "I can do all that in Oak - it's what I do" I went to His work shop "Works In Wood". We had a natter about what I required and he not only supplied the wood but offered to make the base for me which I grabbed with both hands. I sourced the hardware and this is the result. Thanks Works in Wood. Now with lights fitted. Just need to get a rechargeable 12v battery pack and it will be full portable. The bar supporting the lights can be removed as can the bobbin holders if I so desire.

No just tied them today. I will give them a swim and see what happens. Could be a while though as our waters have been suffering due to high water tempretures.

I Have tried these my self but they just did not do it for me. I just used a knot. Nicely tied.

Some wooden beads fell of my wives jeans(Honest) so had a bit of fun with these. Size 10

Not my usual style but here goes. A doz woolly B*****s

J-Vice No 541 safely installed in it's new home.
