    To make the tapered post, I took a piece of square tube and cut a taper down it lengthwise. Then I capped it with a piece of metal and welded it.


    That text appears just above the photos.

    love this and will make some version of it.
    Note [grammar police mode: on] that the post title "vice buddy" might get caught in a law enforcement crawl of you post - sounds like an app or similar for helping out with vice related criminal activity! [grammar police mode: off]

    Bobs409, What I like best about this is that your workbench looks just like mine. It's well loaded. It will not float away!

    Just kidding.!! This looks like a great addition to my shop. I'm always propping the other end of something in the vice up or just trying to man-handle it. I think the tapered post is a great innovation. So another little project added to the list!
