Felt pretty cool....

Tldr: I backed up a trailer in front of my FIL

Helping my wife's parents moving some mowers and stuff out of her recently deceased grandmother on he moms side. I have a car hauler trailer for some of my toys and just general projects. Loaded with two mowers and a small trailer and other stuff I asked her dad to drive ahead and block traffic as they are just past a blind hill on a paved road that many speed on. Once he got set I proceeded to single shot back up my in laws driveway with bushes right on both sides right as it crosses the ditch, the. Trees down one side and their vehicles parked down the other side.

So single shot backed down a 25' wide drive loaded. Her dad was impressed by both having the forethought to have him drive ahead and block traffic then just pull up, back down a 200' tight drive working around vehicles and etc.

I am a manufacturing engineer at a metal fab facility and was using our drill press today for the first time in a long time. When drilling something longer than the vice alone and less than 4 feet, the team has been shimming up and stacking various parts or materials to create a slightly longer equal surface parallel to the vice.

Is there a vice that has a wider table, preferably a full T shape? Or do I need to build something?

If I build it I will likely see about putting a metal ruler up to 1" embedded on the surface as that will help set parts up.
