[Leica] IMG: Leg Vise from the Past

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Lluis. The memory that stood out from my childhood was pinching 
my hand when that turning handle dropped back through the shaft.  THAT 
DID HURT!

Since my Dad's death, the vise has followed me as a part of the tools that I find handy. I gave it a coat of paint some years ago, and I keep grease on the screw. It still provides faithful service just like it did when new, 100 years ago. Mounted to a bench in my garage, I still see it every day, and find it useful about once a month.  I checked, and similar ones are still offered for sale today.
