 Terry Willis from B.C. (deceased) made a spot-on mini post vise that's featured in an old Hot Iron News. What was neat was that he used railroad spikes. The mass in the spike's head was just about perfect for getting the jaw shape out of.  I haven't done one either but it seems the jaw is the crux, slitting and drifting the hole for the box and drawing the leg out seems tame after that.
