  • Bill Perkins says:

    Thanks for sharing that . I’ll definitely make one up .

  • John Stuart says:

    Neat trick! You’ve just added a patternmaker’s vice to my shop for the price of a peice of scrap.

  • Dave Johnson says:

    This vice (made in China) is available at Amazon.com. I bought one and it is well worth the price. I have mine attached to a piece of plywood and clamp it to the work bench or building frame or wherever I need it.

  • Gregg Teasdale says:

    Much better than shims. Great tip, thanks!

  • Tom Speyer says:

    Thanks! This definitely falls into the category of “why didn’t I think of that years ago??”

  • Clyde Davis says:

    Perhaps extendable to C clamp use with a socket to house the clamp’s screw pad instead of the pictured apex, hopefully not limited to the pad’s articulation. Deeper socket? I’ll experiment. Thanks yet again Mr. Bryan!
