A waste of good hardware.

Might be good for holding stuff to wire brush, or light filing. Using pieces of heavy angle iron, cut to replace the original jaw, and with the the nuts in line with the original face of the jaws, and more nuts, with narrower heads might work better and be stronger. Not something I'd bother with unless I had a very specific need, and not much of anything else to do.
Looks like he's going for something like a poor man's fractal vise. And not quite making it.
