I have an old Wilton woodworking vise that had been sitting on the floor of the shop for a couple years.
Recently managed to get the "handle"(made up of galvanized pipe pieces) tied to the screw solidly.
Now I need to figure out how to install it on a table I built for my print shop which I am going to convert
to a planing/work bench. If I get that far, what would the appropriate choices for wood to put in the vise
as clamp pads/liner for jaws? For some reason am guessing Poplar.
