    Default Swivel Vise

    This is a home grown version of a guitar repair vise, but useful for anyone wanting to hold irregular shaped parts. I've fitted this vise to all my benches and a trolley. It took me a day to make but I was finding my way.

    Cheers, Bill

    The peacock in the Luthier workshop reminds me of the Guitar workshop at Montsalvat.
