Pictures of Home Made Vice - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

I posted four pictures of the pipe fitting vice I made from the plans in WCI, in case anyone else was interested in making one. They show the two basic modifications I made. There was some discussion of this vice in the Beginners Carving section, and this is in response to that. The vice looks rather crude, but works very well. It is strong and stable, once those two mods are made. Pics are in the Other Stuff album

Al, that is fantastic! Those vices are so expensive and I would never have realized how easily and inexpensively one could be made. Thanks so much for sharing that, definitely going to be telling the hubby....think he's free this weekend, archery hasn't started yet!

Don't thank me, thank Mr. Dielle and Wood Carving Ilustrated Magazine for the article I got it from!

there is one more 'modification' I forgot; I epoxied the flange on the armature to the pipe so it wouldn't twist under pressure. *Make sure you clean the threads, inside and out, with denatured alcohol, or other strong solvent to get rid of any oil that is on the pipe threads, prior to using the adhesive.

Being new here, I've not learned my way around yet. Would someone kindly direct me to the 'Other Stuff' album? This sounds like something I'd be interested in. Thanks!!
