Home made carving vise

[tINO]

Does anyone have any ideas on making a good carving vise. Is there one that is general purpose that one can use for power carving,chip carving ect. ect. I own a Z-vise if anyone is familar with this vise,is there an attachment for carving for the Z-vise.

Here is the Z-vise site http://www.advmachinery.com/default.asp?pg=zvise

Thanks

There are a couple of articles for making some clever looking carving vices in some of the back issues. I don't remember the issues they were in but I bet that if you check the Article Index to the left, you'll find them.

You might also look in the Tip and Techniques thread there are lots of good ideas in there.

Do a google for the "Poor mans vise" also there is one made of a trailer ball....I made both and they both work. I also have a panavise, which I actually use more than any of them.
