The Rhodes Shapers had a pretty neat little vise that came with them 100 years ago, but unfortunately, mine was missing when I got the machine. Chirpy from @ChirpysTinkerings sent me drawings for one, so I figured I'd make my own version of it. This project ended up being much more involved than I anticipated, so here's part 1 of the build.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
