INTRODUCTION I made what I think technically is called a "Pony Vise". The purpose of this vise is to accompany or assist in tandem with any one of my 3 other vises when clamping long boards. This is my fourth vise. It's made out of scrap 2 x treated Fir lumber. I didn't intend to use treated lumber. It's what leftover scrap I had in the corner of my shop. I started by cutting the lumber, drilling holes, etc. to the piece sizes that I needed to make a complete vise. Then clamped it all to see if it suited my needs. COMPONENTS Here's what all the completed components look like before assembly. I had to make some low profile knobs. After recessing, the hex bolts are epoxied in place. Here's what the knobs look when clamping the vise to the bench top. Next, I made a nifty little pivoting top for my quick release mechanism box. You just finger pressure the right top end and it swings up for removal. Here's the "Pony Vise" assisting with one of my other quick release vises in clamping a long board. Thanks for Looking! Feel free to comment, ask questions and "thumbs up " if you like it! Cheers! MrRick
