100_5171.jpg100 viewsMoxon Style Vice is finished. Here are the screws I ordered of of ebay - Hard maple, 1-1/4", with an unthreaded portion for about 1" at the handle. The nuts are 4"X4" and 1-1/16" thick - seems like plenty of thickness. The maker threw in the third nut at no charge - I have 2 screws with a choice of 18" or 10" spacingRubyOct 21, 2011
