A gray scale anaglyph view able with red/cyan 3d glasses.

A threaded rod, coupling nut, and some square tubing that fits together.

I might make this, if my welding is good enough. It's easy for things 
not to fit together after the weld has cooled. I would line the jaws 
with 3 ply wood veneer and use it to hold small wooden pieces for 
cutting/drilling.

I seem to be starting more projects than I'm ever going to finish.

Comments welcome:

Nicely done. :)
I've not seen this design before. All of the vices I've used look like this:
http://www.toolsinstock.com/100MM_ENGINEERS_VICE--product--8355.html
Or this:
http://www.toolsinstock.com/150mm_WOODWORKING_VICE--product--8466.html

But then that has been at work and the companies paid for it.

I can't see the thread.

Gas welding?

Not a lot I can say about that except, me too. ;)

The first one.
One of the pieces is a 'U' shape, if I cut the tubing it would distort 
to much from tension. A change in design was needed.

Arc, MIG (metal inert gas)

You have lost me there, Stephen.
I was talking about the threaded rod and what it screws into.

My inexperience is showing here.
My only exposure to welding* is when I worked offshore and everything 
was built like a brick outside loo. ;)

I thought gas because with arc maybe only a tack would do. But then I 
forgot about the support legs and the material.

Which makes me wonder if a blob would work for the welds.
(Something else to distract me from other projects. Groan.)

And that was watching other people work and time spent chatting in the 
tea hut during "smoke-o" and skiving. :)
All the welding done there was TIG
