Also pulled this out of storage. It's actaully a luthiers vise for shaping nuts and saddles, but I've found it very hellpful in modeling. Eliiminated the need for one of thos large (well small) vises that you either clamp or bolt to your workbench. Also very easy to store in the limited space I have.

I like that vise, it would also work well as a machinist's vise (with a few mods to secure it to a tool plate) - the tall jaws would certainly give good holding and clearance/access in forming a few of the more complicated parts. cheers Pat | ||

I have a few Stewmac tools, and they are great but as you say, a little pricy. I'll have to have a look for one I think. cheers Pat | ||

Mike, double planked and partially painted. I'm just wondering if I want to copper the bottom or not. It didn't come with copper plates but I have a stash of them. | ||
