Update Janurary 23
Well progress has been made and i have been promising to update this thread but not getting round to it. So here is the latest .
Leg vice cut mounted and working with new maple handle turned in my shop on my crappy lathe.
This is it closed
Leg vise open
Opening width 12 inches here is proof
Runners and rail at the bottom
How i mounted it at the rear just as advised by many on the forum. Glen it was you who pushed me over the top to do it properly.
Then i got hold of some nice leather and have finished the jaws on the bench vise
Thats it for now i still have the edges to do and the deadman and its rail to add.
Getting there but today i also wanted to have some fun for a change and make something at last. See my handle thread.
Leg vise works with one finger. Thanks to Lee Valley. For those that dont know i sprayed it with rattle can red. Thats my bling.
More to come when i get round to finishing the rest.
Thanks for following along.
