CARPENTER'S VICE.
CHEAP AND STRONGLY BUILT. With scrap materials you mayhave at home, or coukl buy from a second-hand merchant for a shilling or two, you can put together a very useful vice for your workshop. The first item is ail ordinary bed screw or extension table screw and handle. If the former is used you
can secure the "key" or handle to it by binding it round strongly with wire. Next a piece of 3in by 3in timber 12in long is taken, and a groove made on one side sufficiently deep to allow of free passage for the screw, the metal nut being then bedded firmly in the side of the block. The block is next fixed down on the bench. The other jaw of the vice consists of a strong board Bin by lin, and the height of the bench itself. To this board.a couple of short pieces top and bottom are fixed as strengtheners. Then, by drilling a hole through this board exactly opposite the screw nut and fitting a washer on to the screw, the vice is ready for use. If desired the jaws of this homemade vice can ( be faced with strips of £in iron plate, and it will then tackle any job that its more expensive brother from the tool shop cau do. '
