a few pics of homemade tools

Very nice and I am sure Steve would be honored.

Jurgen...

Nicely done!

Yours is the first such cantilevered vise I've seen. Is that your design and did you build it?

Thanks Juergen, That gives me a great idea for cheap easy to construct vise. Virgle Smithfield, Va.

Yes, I both "designed" and built it. It is basically an enlarged version of the wooden clamps, and made from a few scraps of bich plywood, the rod is also a scrap piece. I'm now considering something to replace my broken front vise (i bought too cheap, although i know better than to doo that, temptation overmasertered me...) with something similar.

nice pics, but can't read a word of that text, you must have been hacked. ;-)

OUCH! I just imagined accidentally walking into that vise. It's at the WRONG level for comfort, isn't it? =:0 RE: the planes, why did you make 'em without nickers?
