My Moxon vise

Thanks for posting this, Blackberry! I see we share the same sort of dovetailing jig …
 

We do. I think I copied mine from David Barron. I have a couple of his guides. Btw, it might be a little far from you but there’s a cool hand woodworking tool event in Amana Iowa. Went a couple years ago and going again. If you didn’t already know you might enjoy their website http://www.handworks.co/
May have the same saw, Lie Nielsen independence in the background??

... way too far, but thanks for the link! Lie Nielsen independent in the background?  Naw … would you believe Stanley Gent with a really cool tote? LOL!
 

You make the tote? I had Mr. Summerfield of RMsaws make me a small beautiful saw with an open tote, wasn’t a DT saw but nonetheless beautiful. Waayy outa my wheelhouse to make a saw but I’m happy to use the one he made me.

Nicely dne and looks very functional.

I like the wings welded to the nuts for handles!

Yes … didn’t care for the handle of the gent saw … not enough control. I like the look and feel of an open tote. I don’t mean to derail your project thread.

It’s a very nice vise and a great addition to your shop. Congratulations.

Simple is always better….so say the Shaker’s. Who am I to disagree with a religion that dances during worship? Very nice!

I picked that up from someone else’s vise. It’s used to hold round objects in a vertical position. Things such as dowel rods. Works well for that.
