Hi again,
I often use this little vise clamped at the edge of my work table, but for the kind of work I do the most (luthiery or wooden jeweleries or any delicate items), I need soft jaws, and by the way larger jaws, so I did this mod :
The jaws are made of hardwood (oak), but instead of having removable jaws, that always fall off or necessitate two hands to hold it while closing the vise, I preferred to add permanent wooden jaws.
I carved in the wood two mortises, the exact size of the steel jaws, so that they just fit in the jaws, and I epoxied them in place.
