It's been between 6 and 15 degrees for the last couple of days so I decided to make a Moxon type vise to make dovetails easier. I am using scraps from here and there so don't get to critical. I am not through yet but thought I would post on the progress so far. Comments are welcome along with suggestions.

Please ignore the mess on my work bench.

I don't see any mess! Please explain what a Moxon vise is. Never heard the term.

Wait until I finish this thing and i think it will explain it's self better than I can. You can goggle it and get a good idea of what I am attempting to accomplish.

Think a vise with TWO leadscrews widely separated. Allows clamping 'tapered' shaped work pieces

A clean workbench is a sure sign of a sick mind.

Nice vise.

My workbench only aspires to that clean and organized.

Or, a clean workbench means you have no tools!!!

Update:

Chris and others, now you can get an idea of what I was trying to do. It works now but I may need to make some changes and make one wider.
