March 13, 201610 yr I am always looking for different tools. Came across this leg vise. Seems to have been home made. But was made VERY well. It is offset, and will be great for long work. It has 8 1/2" wide jaws, and closes very straight and tight. The rear jaw is the movable jaw.

March 15, 201610 yr Author Tore the vise down tonight to wire wheel, and wipe down with linseed oil. Whoever made did a great job. No electric welds anywhere. Wonder how old this thing is.

Most of my work is making obsolete parts (heavy work) for loggers, and farmers. This vise being offset is a great bonus for long work. I also like the depth of the jaws, they hold work very nice for file work. The best part was the price $60
