Hi, guys!
I was at the local flea market this past weekend, and found this face vise for a very decent price. Could not resist grabbing it.

Since my bench is made from SPF(spruce, pine, fir) I will need some hardwood for the rear jaw. I'm thinking some Home Depot maple or some red oak should do the trick. Front jaw is obviously maple.
I also picked up a 1" vintage Marples chisel, which took a really keen edge. The other chisel is a 1/2" Stanley 750 I picked up at an antique dealer today. Haven't had the chance to hone that one yet.

Now I just need to finish the bench.
