"Morris Dovey" showed us his vise
I never thought I would say this.
Morris, that vise is soooooooo.... CUTE!
What is the application?
What vise(s) do you own?

I made this one for CNC routing a fancy guitar bridge, and it's been handy since other small parts.
Is that HDR photography?
My "main" vise is a WoodRiver pattern maker's vise from Woodcraft, but I also have a couple of clamp-on vises and a small collection of purpose-built vises (there's a link to a photo of one elsewhere in this thread).
The pattern maker's vise seemed like an extravagance when I bought it, but I've used all of its capabilities and confess to having become completely spoiled by the flexibility.

Nope - just a plain old snapshot.
Well done ... would do HDR proud.
Thanks. It was shot at 2560x1920, fairly early on a bright July morning in 2004. I did use a tripod and, IIRC, I stopped the camera down to maximize the depth of field and focused on a spot between the two blocks.
I recall feeling fairly smug because it was the first time I'd ever worked brass.
I threw away about a quarter of the image when I cropped, then re-sampled to 640x480 and added the text. The original is a little crisper, but not as well composed.
Woodcraft Emmert clone, Parrot vise, Panavise, Craftsman crosslide vise, some piece of crap I picked up at a home store, and I'm sure I'm forgetting one.
Veritas Twin Screw for end vise Unknown German screw fittings for shoulder vise
Thanks, all.
Just as I suspected. All over the map.
I'll work on my Records because I already own them.
So what is your idea?
Can't tell yet. It's a *secret* (wink).
