Moxon_style_vise-front_view.JPGMoxon style vise - front view248 viewsThis Moxon style vise is made from a knotty (and very gnarly) length of Purpleheart. The jaws are about 27 inches long, the right angle brace glued to the rear jaw is about 33 inches long. The jaws are about 7 inches tall bringing their top edge to about 40 inches from the floor. The jaws are about 7/8 inch thick. The maple hand screw threads are 1 1/4 inches. There is about 21 inches between the screws. I used an old 1/4 inch beading plane to bead the top and bottom edges of the front jaw.Sgt42RHR

Moxon_style_vise_-_end_view.JPGMoxon style vise - end view197 viewsThe right angle brace is about 3 inches longer on each end than the jaws to allow for clamping to the bench; it's rock solid! I used an old 1/4 inch beading plane to put a bead on the exterior edge of the rear and front jaws to soften them visually and for comfort of use.Sgt42RHR

I used an old 1/4 inch beading plane to on the top of the rear jaw and the back of the right angle brace.Sgt42RHR
