When bored, build a vise...

Since college doesn't start till next week I got my entire afternoon at school free and live in the shop. Decided to build me a vise to make my roses at home more easily. Whole lot of 1/8" angle iron. I'd paint it but I'm just going to burn it off at some point so I figured I didn't need it. No plans for it, just threw it together cause I had nothing better to do today.

You even have a place(s) to clamp it down. Did you MIG weld it? How did you attach the screw to the jaw?

90% mig welded. I did a little oxy fuel just for fun. On the inside of the square tubing there is a washer and a snap ring to hold it int place

A proof of you can make a useful tool without fancy machines.

Fancy tools are nice though.
