If this picture looks familiar, it's because I built the two smaller vises on the left back in October of 2018 while the larger one sat all this time. But now I finally finished it. This large one is 12" long and it's heavy. Side note: if you haven't read about the first two vises, I highly recommend checking that out before you go any farther because it explains how this project came to be.

Once I sent all the pieces to heat treat, the slow process of surface grinding begins. In fact, it took over11 hours to grind the large vise which I spread out over a two week period.
 

Here is what it looks like all finished. However, I wasn't able to grind every surface myself because the size of this vise is larger than my works surface grinder could deal with. But I talked with our neighbors because they have a larger machine so they helped me out. They ground four surfaces for me, both ends, one side and the bed.
 

Here is the bottom which has all the notches for the movable jaw. The four large holes are for bolting the vise to the mill table, just in case I want to. Better to have them and not use them than not have them at all.
