thanks, only thing about the vise is that i can;t find a way to flip the jaws for a left hand tier, so the adjustment screws are on the wrong side

FFlyer,

I don't see any way to adjust the current parts for a lefty.  I suggest contacting Griffin and asking about a new 'neck' or whatever they call that part that slopes down.  They are basically a specialize machine shop so I presume they have them and you are not the first.  They have excellent customer service, so it is definitely worth contacting them.

LOL, heads could use a little varnish and the hackle is swept down too much but I wouldn't really call it sloppy.
