I liked Douglas Coates’ Ad-Vice so much I decided to build something similar into a full sized leg vice:

It was a thoroughly enjoyable little project and is working very nicely.

I like that! Where did you get the wooden screws from, if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks

Thanks Fitz,
The large screw was from eBay. Built in small batches in Hungary. £75 each. I’ve just had a look and they’re not currently available.
I made the bottom screw myself from boxwood.

Could you add a link to the eBay listing as I’ve looked a few times and found nothing. My bench has been in the go fir a goodly while so waiting for the next listing suits me.

That’s what I had on my last bench. Cost me a tenner and took about an hour to install. Definitely better value for money but nowhere near so much fun.
 
Fitz,
I’m really struggling to do that. When I click on the purchase I get an odd message about parameters.
The item number is 302387443153
I have the email address of the chap who sold it to me. We had an extended conversation about square versus round nuts. I’ll pm you.
