Somebody called me about my engraving stand and the widget in my vise. The stand sits on three points for stability. The platform the vise sits on is sdjustable for height. The widget holding the action is a "center way". I hold almost everything between centers, actions, lockplates, cylinders, barreels, etc. Knives I hot glue to a piece of wood, and hold the wood between centers. Occasionaly I use lead between the jaws of the vise to clutch things.
Bob Evans saw me using this stand at SCI once and said, "Thats quite a lash -up you have there". It is made to come apart for travel and can be disassebled or assembled in 10 minutes.
Oh, and the wood grip on the Lindsay tool is the new "Amboyna". It is stabilized and looks like ironwood burl.
