I just found this and love it. Did you ever work up a set of plans with dimensions,parts list? It's brilliantly simple, so I could probably jerry rig one from your photos. I have a Panavise that works, but that ties it up for other things I need it for.

Thanks! I've been meaning to do this! Give me a couple of days and I'll have some crude drawings for you with dimensions!

aye it does look good - mine is sturdy and functional but not as pretty!

Just saw this thread and realized how much I have missed on this forum. That is certainly a nice clamp and would loive to have your rough dimensions and drawings as this would be way better that the two pieces of angle on a plywood board that I am currently using.

Dear Dave
This is an efficient and inexpensive solution for production
thanks for sharing

Seriously, if you could make these in numbers at a reasonable cost, you'd have an easy market.
