I used a couple of pieces of Oregon that I had lying about.

The best thing is that I can take this outside an clamp it to a sawhorse. That keeps saw filings off the workbench and usually means there is better light which my aging eyes seem to need!

The second best thing is that the wooden vice dampens the filing noise - the metal saw vice seems to amplify the sound, so this is easier on everyone's ears!

The re-activation of this thread comes at a good time I think with quite a few people getting into traditional saw sharpening following Matt's saw thread.
