I decided to shape the Jaws on this while waiting for the order to arrive. THe Jaws consist of two sets, one is smoth which I will attach some leather to, and the other is groved for round objects.

Starting out with 4 blanks that are all the same size, the smooth ones were easy, lay out the holes for the screws. The second set with the groves, was a tad bit more. I used the router table with a 45* chamfer set at a 1/4" depth. Using a square and a baker board cut the cross grain first, then set the fence to cut the length with a couple of groves.

I taped these in sets, with a set being one of each. This was done for drilling the holes and countersink, labeling each as front or back and the top edge. They turned out pretty good.

This vise can be mounted in a end vise on the bench or with a bolt through a dog hole. I will probably be using a dog hole to mount this. But for the bolt, the plan called for a bench nut, where the nut for the bolt is mortised in a block. I chose to mortise a hexagon instead of having it in a circle. I did use a fostner bit to remove the bulk of the material, then chopped the rest for a good fit. Once that was done, I cut the rest of the nut out on the band saw and sanded all edges to include a round over.

Oversized block, 3" across the flat.

After shaping, the nut was then epoxied in place.

These turned out so good I decided to make a few more to use with the Moxon Vise and my Metal Pony Vise which is mounted to a layered up piece of plywood that I used c-clamps when needed. So 4 of them were made, 2-1/2" across the flats. These I made out of Oak.
