I got a few requests recently for more info on my shop-made tail vise, so I decided to write up some quick instructions. Let me know if anything is not clear, or if there are any gaping holes in the write-up.
Here's the finished product. In the write up, I left out the top cover piece, since, in the end, it serves no function. Keep in mind, it's the center part with the dowel (dog) that is stationary.
