Fly vice help

Recommended Posts

I got a new desk that doesn't have a lip suitable for a C camp. I need a way to mount my light and a vice I want to buy. Does anyone have an idea and/or a picture?

Screw a new top on the desk Bigger then the desk so you will have a lip?

I guess I could do that. I have a piece of glass on the top right now. That would bring the vice head down a little. I know there is some debate on the vice head height. I like the idea of my dubbing spinner hanging unobstructed.

Sorry for the crummy pic, but here's my solution. I have two vises here. In both of them, the hole for the vise shank goes all the way through, so I just turned them upside down, leaving only a small section of jaw below. The cutting board has some stick on feet that I stuck on the corners, lifting the board just high enough to provide room for the jaws below.

You could just take a small piece of 1x of whatever wood you like and screw it on the underside of the desk in the knee hole opening. Have it protrude a couple inches and clamp your vise to that.
