Gary G Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not bad Ed! I was going to recomend an engravers ball vice. They work very well, are expensive and are very versatil but, if what you came up with suits your needs..... congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Twilbeck Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Here is the latest update on the vice ,, made it a swivel vice . The carving is yellow heart for a small box. Found out that yellow heart wood. Is not a pleasure to carve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
