Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

An adaptation of a 24" design I found online. I widened it to 36" and beefed it up accordingly.

I used to have my Metalwork students make a "Machinist's Vice" from 3x3x1/2" angle and 2-1/2x1/2" flat, but they usually ended up being so badly made that I stopped doing that project, but had lots of the steel left over. So I altered the design to suit the steel that I had on the shelf already.

I will be making plans available shortly.
