I remember life before I got a press and then a press brake! I wish I had made a set up like yours rather than scrounging around the scrap bin for suitable bits each time I had to bend a flat or rod.

Made some improvements.. now its better and actually i think that this is my best idea so far. Its so simple, but useful.
Video can be seen here:
It happens in real time, so you can see that it doesn't take much time to change jaws.

Thanks Jon.
Didn't expect this, but thank you.
I have planned to make plans for the coming vise.
So, actual video should be " how to assemble made parts" style.
That way it should be more useful if one wants to duplicate it.
I have also made plans to that vise that i used with this mod, just needs to turn them to pdf and upload somewhere.
