Oooh, that looks *marvelous*! An extra pair of hands! *covets*

Ooh. I have vice envy. I need something like that for my embroidery.

It is lovely and very flexible! And came from Tindalls on King St (under £7, too: if it were aimed at the jewellery market it would have pink or purple rubber grips and cost three times as much).

it is marvellously flexible! I'll be using it for anything from keeping a bracelet straight to doing fiddly-faffy joins. Also, note magnifying glass.

Also could be used to immobilise small animals for grooming.

It's a very nice vice :)

I did notice the magnifier! Very spiffy. (Oz doesn't think well of your proposed alternate use for it, I bet!)

I use one of these for all my jewelry work; I'd be lost without it. Also another swing-arm lamp for extra light (and often a third, if it's night and the window isn't giving me daylight). I can work peyote stitch for hours on end without eyestrain with that setup.

Nice!

Awesome icon.

That is a fine vice!

Just going through life succumbing to new vices...?

(I have one of these - bought when I realised that I couldn't hold a DIN plug, and the cable to go into it, and the solder, and the soldering iron, with just two hands.)

New vice: quicker than mutation, and still gives you more hands.

Who are you calling 'small'? I assumed she meant the CatTV rodents. You could grill groom a gerbil nicely with that set-up.

VICE IS NICE. Official.

[tamaranth.livejournal.com]

... and quite a wholesome one really :)

Thanks. I wish I could take credit for it but sadly all I did was right-click save :)

Oh, Your Mightiness, I didn't mean *you* were small! Perish the thought. No, what I meant was that I didn't think you'd be pleased to have your Minion attending to other creatures.

Just never, ever leave it where sunlight might fall through it.
