Side Vise

I couldn't affort the good Tucker patternmaker's vise, but this Taiwanese version should work for me. It needed some tuning (the dogs needed grinding to make 'em usable). You can use this thing as a normal side vise, but it really gets cool when you raise and rotate the thing (as shown in the photo).

Hard maple, cherry, walnut, oil finish.
