Would anyone like plans for a small mainspring vise.
« on: October 22, 2014, 07:00:06 PM »
2 years ago a former machine shop student of mine made a mainspring vise for me.  He needed a project and I needed a vise. Another student took it and drew up plans after it was finished.  You need to remember these are plans made by a high school student.  He did a decent job for doing it as his first "job" besides a class assignment. So I guess the question is anyone want a copy?  I try to post it if there is any interest.

I have added the link for the plans to the shop tools section.  Enjoy
