Building a small Machinist Vise

Great work! Very inspiring project. I am a long time woodworker and have a garage full of jigs and fixtures I have made over the years. Every time I use one I think back to the project that I made the jig or fixture for. I am sure that years from now that you will look back and remember the lessons learned creating your own vise. Well done!
 
Nice job , will have to make my own also. I have two very heavy 2" x 2" square weights from a exercising machine. What kind of steel they are made from I don't know but I hope it works for a few projects I want to make out of them. I also have an old power hacksaw to rebuild using that to cut the bars will Help tell me what kind of steel it is. So many projects so little time .
