The pens turned out looking fantastic! Very nice colour on them.

I'll be missing our local first carboot as I won't finish work before it finishes but hopefully I'll be able to make it soon to one. The ones I go to have a few tool traders but generally I find their tools are cheap and they reflect their prices too in quality.

Thank you so much for everyone's help. Just went out and after a little flaffing about managed to tighten the spring and it now works. The quick release is a bit fiddly in the sense that if you release, you have to force it back up quite high for the guide to catch and allow the jaw to open...

I have recently purchased a Record 52 1/2 E vice from eBay. It had a lot of rust, saw dust and what not all over the place so I decided to disassamble it, removing the quick release trigger (complete), the c/w guide and gave it a nice clean. My troubles began when putting it all back together...
