Well, for my use the ability to turn isn't important because the vise base can be rotated full circle in azimuth and locked while the hook remains fixed in place.

A base that can rotate would not be useful for any work that required applying some force to the workpiece since that might make the workpiece turn away from you. [Imagine sawing or filing a part attached to a lazy susan.] If made to turn, some form of brake would be essential and that would complicate the construction and the rigidity of the hook.

A better solution would be to make the base/hook stationary as mine is and add a workpiece holder that can be rotated and locked in position.
