I saw some pictures a little bit ago of a home made edge vise, and decided that it was time I built one.....especially after looking at the price of some commercial models. And this one is sized for ukuleles in mind.
Built from some bits and pieces I had lying about. The template I cut on the laser, and had thought about screwing in place, but it turned out to be a press fit, and doesn't really need anything more. At least for the time being.
Took a little bit to work out the size of the offsets to make the end graft fit with and without purflings. The curves in my design make this a lot more difficult than just straight tapers. Last image is just a dry fit to test everything out in a bit of scrap.
