So here’s a pic of the vise in its new orientation. My dad is having a heart attack right now at this! As a woodworker I’m sure he sees many better uses for this 100 year old vise than what I have done to it.

And above is a pic of it closed over 5 hedgehog blocks. My theory is that it will hold a ozen hedgehogs with ease! How freaking awesome is that!!!

NO all I have to do is build the stiff wooden blocks to fit over the jaws…
