I like the no bending over to move that pin!! Even if now I'm use to it!

Harry,
I like the "ships wheel" idea. I use a screw on mine as well, but since its 3/4-10, it takes a lot of foot stomping to move it a little, and with a smooth surface it is even worse. Maybe I should put some pegs in it like yours, or saw some groves in it like knurling.

jeff make the hand/foot wheel larger and cut some notches, 6 or so or put dowels in it.
Your Vise is Much better looking than mine.

Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

My old iron bench screw is a double thread and one revolution moves it 1/2 inch, it looks like 4 threads to the inch but is actually 2 threads to the inch, that's why I get all the old vise screws I can find. I still have one more that I have collected.

having wanted some kind of overhead lift for a long time I made sure to include it into the current shop. I overbuilt the roof and slung an iron T beam from the rafters. a trolley and chainfall provide the lift and roll. I figure it has about 600 lbs. capacity, not enough to move the big machines but plenty for pretty much anything I'll build. pretty cheap solution to a real problem.
Bench update 9/1/09
Just finished my Auxilary Face Vise for my NuBench, that uses vises #3 and #4.
On the off chance I have the main one busy and need another.
That makes 7 vises not counting the Crochet and the holdfasts and dogs and wedge system.
