You use this, I assume, for holding jewelry when filing and fitting it?

Man, that's one serious vise!  You probably realize that using your grandson as a size indicator has the fatal flaw that he won't stay the same size over time; but it was a nice extra in the photo.  Cute kid.

That should stay steady!   Looks great, have to ask just what that base came out of?   A ship maybe?

I suppose this is how you clamp the truck down when the tires wanna roll while breaking a lug nut.  Awesome!
