Since learning metric measurements in school I've always been a user of the millimetre and never questioned its suitability. Richard was also taught metric first but as soon as he was out in to the practical world of work he adopted the use of imperial finding it much...
So far this year we've been busier than ever with our vices and we've been boxing them up and shipping them out to every corner of the globe. Many customers are kind enough to take the time and send us through photos of their completed benches and here's a couple that...
