[Leica] [OM] IMG: Leg Vise from the Past

[Nathan Wajsman]

Timeless image!
I think the last time I used such a device was in shop class at school, 46-48 years ago.

Cheers,
Nathan

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.
