Finally, a leg vise  originally published May 26, 2011 

And maybe some of you remember some wood I got. It was 2″ thick, about 9″ wide and consisted of oak, birch and polar. I’m not sure what it was cut for, but it was headed for a fireplace. It has been outside for a while, so it has a rustic look.
