Found some vises shown on a thread a while back, searched a bit tonight, but can't find any.
Any shots of ones built ... and/or bought that I can get an idea from.
First thoughts are a bicycle type setup or maybe a large heim joint off some old farm equipment. Thought I could drill then tap into the cover/socket for a bolt with a lever welded on top to hand tighten and lock at the right angle. Screw the threaded end into the sleeve(tie rod style) which would mount "to be determined" on the table or screw into an optional floor stand. Then, weld a plate along the upper rod and make 1" long slots, 10-11mm tall, to accept all the different bar stud sizes and distances.
I have initial thoughts, like everybody. Just looking for feedback("Will something like that be strong enough to hold when torqued?") and hopefully some pictures of what's already out there. And I know there has to be a few that have been trying to perfect one for years. Or have?
Already manufactured, I know has got to be expensive, and building one is going to be "just plain fun" and for me on the cheap. I usually just work on a bench, but thought sometimes this would really be nice to have around.
So, let's see'um!
Watchers: Get your popcorn and drool rags out!
If this old news? Beat me like the horse and send me packin' to the old threads! :deadhorse::check:
