For You Lot Antique Woodworking Vice

I bring ever been intrigued yesteryear the unmarried arm vices I'd seen on quondam operate benches, I'd ever assumed they had a real course of pedagogy thread which allowed them to deed a long agency alongside the minimum of turn. Of course of pedagogy I am wrong.
This J Buck shout came from a 1914 magazine, almost 100 years ago.

It wasn't until I spotted i inward The Tool Shop inward Bosham (an Aladdins cave) that I realised but what a proficient vice it was. According to the real knowledgeable possessor (on all tool matters) this was the earliest shape of quick liberate vice dating from belatedly Victorian times.

To operate the lever is turned to vertical as well as the jaw slides easily inward as well as out. Once the especial to endure clamped has been shut down, a 3rd of a plough downwards clamps it tight yesteryear virtue of a cam mechanism. It has no thread but plant real good as well as it's large wages is that it is completely i handed. Apparently Barnsley Workshops bring 2 of these alongside extended jaws which they purpose for carving due to their tardily operation. This i has a 9" jaw as well as a 12" opening which was most the largest size made. It weighs most 35 kg (75 lbs). I'll bring to give but about idea to how as well as where I purpose this vice.
