Issue 9 T.O.C. – Iterative Design in Vernacular Workholding; or A Dum – Mortise & Tenon Magazine

Description

Commonly found in barns or front porches in much of the Western world until quite recently, this foot-powered workholding vise allows for efficient use of the whole body in shaping, rounding, and peeling stock with a drawknife or spokeshave.
