Some recent reading, including this thread - http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...-Vise-Question has convinced me that a moxon vise is a good idea. After looking around, I see there a quite a few options on hardware. Benchcraft, Texas Heritage, and Tools For Working Wood all seem like popular choices. Anyone have any thoughts comparing these and/or other suggestions?
As a secondary question, can a moxon vise be effectively used for holding a board for edge planing? My front facing vise isn't very good and has a lot of racking. I plan on doing a full bench build in the next few months but was wondering if this might serve as a decent stand in for holding stock for edge planing until I get that completed.
