Miniature drill press vise

[Raven Sirius]

My dollhouse scale antique drill press model cried out for a vise on the table so I built this one...

The vise is 5/8" long and 1/4" wide. The screw is 0-80. The vise is fully functional and is secured to the table T-slots with real T-nuts.

This is the first time I've commented on something on the site. This is utterly fantastic! I'm stuck with awe at your craftsmanship, even if it is only a 1/8 size awe! (That little pun was my segue

Did you need to use the lathe to turn the t-nuts on the table, and how in the hell did you hold them in place to drill them before you built the vice to hold them with?
