Sorry! That’s what I get for looking at comments in the site backend instead of on actual posts…thought you were commenting on something else. Alas, I can be of no assistance with your actual question – though you might want to visit Woodnet.net and look at Jeff Burk’s many fine photos of WIA Midwest 2012 — he may have a few in there that could help: http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=6161557&page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=

Megan,
Thanks for the reply. I had the impression the end vise above was a totally made of wood, ie wood screw, wooden guides etc.. I have a metal quick release type that I could use, however, I was looking for some guidance to make a small ( 8 inch wide) end vice. I have this notion to avoid metal if at all possible. Call me crazy.

hhbeam,

I installed the same model of Sheldon vise on my “Petite Roubo” (or if it’s not the exact same, it’s darn close). You can read about it and see pictures here (click on the pics to enlarge them): http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/editors-blog/sheldon-vise-install-on-a-deadline

I am building a bench similar the 18th century in your latest book. The end vise on the bench above the tc bench has a great deal of interest to me. Do you have any more photos of it that I may mimic the workings? thanks

Went to their site but was unable to open their instructions/plans up? Couln’t even leave a post or contact them. If I can open your links, what did they not do to make available to others?

Beautiful stuff! I love the idea that there are still little companies around the US that do just one thing and then do it very well. Something like the Columbus Whistle Company here in Ohio. Every NBA and NFL referee has one.
