I remade the fixed jaw...

Then turned to the movable jaw...

Made the thing the movable jaw pulls against this afternoon:

At this point it's basically complete:

And even works:

Plans for the next steps are to fly cut the top, sides and end to make all the edges on the separate pieces as smooth as possible. Then to bevel a slight undercut on the inside bottom edges of the jaws so I can run a mill across the faces of the jaws to try to get them as flat and true as I can. Then finally a couple of grooves on the movable jaw to help hold round stock...
Almost there...
