Vise On Sale (With Final Photos)

(1/2) > >>

Lombard:
Found a four and one half inch vise on sale today, at a Big Box Store for $19.95; and just had to have it. Of course I then needed a 2X10X10, wood screws, and some hardware cloth. So what I ended up doing was a copy of a little bow/knapping bench that someone had posted awhile back. Total cost with vise was $38.56. The hardware cloth works great for holding some tools or rock, but not sawdust. Need to round the corners, do some light sanding, and think I'll go with stain, and it will be done.

my vise is exactly the same, only black

nugget:
I have built several bows on a bench identical to that. Looks good.

I made a similar bench for decoy carving, but with a hydraulic work positioner on the end.  I really like the hardware cloth basket on this one, though.  That would be a great way to store tools that are not currently being used.  I might have to try to make one on mine.

Josh:
That looks nice, I need to build me one... That way I can work outside my shed is always really hot in the summer.  I am going to blatantly steal your idea, okay?   ;D
