I finally have a vise!

Looks like a great addition to the outfeed table.

Nice nice and great idea of placement.
Your post heading is misleading, however. I was anticipating a tale about smoking, drinking and/or sex.

I think it looks real good, serves more than one function, and will be a great addition to your shop. You could even mount a router underneath it for an auxiliary router table.

Nice use of space. With a heavy outfeed table like that, who needs a traditional bench?

Good looking vice.

In the third picture I noticed the horizontal holes in the stationary face of the vice, what are they for?

nice work- looks very useful and not really in the road at all!

Sweet. I so need one of these. I don’t have a bench yet either, but it would be so useful to have one on my work/assembly table.

Very nice vice and out feed table. You have given me ideas now as i need both a solid out feed table and an end vice…thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Jesse, the holes on the stationary jaw were originally dowel holes. The stock I used for the jaws was reclaimed from an apron of an old bench a fellow woodworker was getting rid of so the holes are not functional at all. The ones on the face are for securing the jaw to the vise since I couldn’t do it from the back side because of the way the vise is mounted.

Very nice ! I just put together a bench that doubles as an out-feed table and want to add a vise. Your work has given me some good ideas. By the way, is that a Rigid table saw ?
