Please post pics of vises or bow holding devices used and comment on how you use and like them. Newbie minds would like to know.
Thanks.

I don't use anything to hold my bows (other than my hands) and probably never will. Don't know why, really.

Ammending my statement. No vice at all, just standard Jorgenson handscrew clamps. Two together can be used pretty creatively. I have shots at home, I'll post later.

The first is my main bow bench in the shop, two big wood vices and the block hole are a big help. The second is my metal working vice that I sometimes use for sinew curing. The third is my own designed bow bench for portable bow working anywhere.

Mines mounted in the floor like Abd's. I like the idea of being able to keep the bench free and also working all around the bow without haveing to unclamp. Works for me. Love that horse with the camo seat!

dont have a pic but i prefer the woodworkers vise. no serrated surface to the jaws. plus i use rubber pads so as not to crush the wood. If i had my way i would have a woodworking table from Rocklers, not in this economy though.

I cobbled this woodworking vice on to a Workmate for most scraping and rasping. I like being able to move it outside since I like sunlight to chase an osage ring.
For heavy work like debarking I have an outdoor vice mounted on an oil field pipe that even has a nice custom rain cover.

I like your custom rain cover!! That is also a very good idea. I have a large cement pad outside behind my shop, and come this spring, I'm going to mount another vise outside. Thanks!

Yikes Pappy! I think you need a couple more lol!! Looks like a good idea though. I got a couple vises laying around that I didn't want to throw on the bench b/c I like having a clear bench. Have to make me a horsie I guess...
