Vise Jaws with Character
When the time came to make the vise jaws, I knew that this element
of the project would ultimately give the bench its character.
It would make or break the final feel of the bench, so I proceeded
slowly and carefully, following the hardware manufacturer's
installation instructions precisely.
Initial fitting of front jaw.
The
procedure for fitting both jaws was basically the same, so I'll
describe only the steps for the twin-screw vise. Each vise jaw
was made from a laminated 8/4 walnut blank. I started by drilling
screw shaft holes in the blank and then mounted the twin-screw
hardware in the usual fashion on the outer jaw face. I replaced
the spring pins on the tees with hex bolts because I knew that
I would be assembling and disassembling the hardware many times
over the course of the installation.
