His video: YouTube
... and decided to try this out on my Moxon. I had a couple of springs lying around which, fortunately were the ideal size and also compressible (they are triangular, where David's are parallel. He needed to modify the chop with a recess to permit it to close up. I did not need this).

An absolutely stunning vice Derek!

Cheers,
Siggy

Thanks Siggy. I posted on this Moxon and its novel design a month or so ago. It’s on the forum, and also on my website: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ShopMad...LastMoxon.html
