[TheForge] Bolt heading vise

Thu Dec 13 18:12:01 2001

There is a picture  posted in the sketchbook on the Junkyard of a vice that
operates on a foot pedal that someone fabricated.  It actually looks like it
would have more clamping pressure than those old vices due to more of a
mechanical advantage.
