For You Lot Option Moxon Vice.

After making my version of a Scandinavian bench I realised that it would last real slowly to brand a portable version of the shoulder vice, like inwards role to the Moxon vice, where it tin last added to a bench for a specific task, ie dovetailing. Rather than clamping it to the bench happen it tin last exactly clamped inwards your existing vice. The wooden screw was made from i of those freely available kits you lot tin purchase in addition to has a 1 1/2" thread amongst a vi TPI thread. As it solely has a move of 3" this is easily fast enough.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few years agone I bought a few lengths of 1 1/2" maple dowel in addition to then no turning was required in addition to the hub is besides tapped for the thread in addition to glued inwards amongst epoxy resin.

You tin brand the capacity to suit your needs, mine has a 10" jaw in addition to hither it's beingness used to clamp a 12" board .

The structure is from enterprise 4" beech amongst the jaw department beingness 6" to furnish a way of clamping inwards  a vice.  Below you lot tin meet both sides of the jaw were lined inwards suede leather for a adept grip. 

I cutting a hole inwards the leather on the jaw plate to permit for the screw to last adjusted if e'er necessary. 

You tin besides meet the slot which keeps the jaw plate from spinning circular equally it's used.

Below you lot tin meet how it sits on the border of the bench.

I rounded the corners to teach inwards friendly to handle. I volition last bringing it to the Tool Chest class for the New English linguistic communication Workshop inwards the summer, I'm certain it volition teach plenty of use!
