I had a co-worker, who knows I'm an "aspiring woodworker", come up to me and
ask if in any of my woodworking magazines I had seen a plan for making a
shop vise "portable". He apparently remembered seeing a plan once in which
some sort of base with wheels was attached to a shop vise so that you could
move the whole unit around on a workbench (which he needs for a specific
purpose). I suspect something like this would be easy enough to make
without plans, but I was curious to know if anyone recalled this type of
plan appearing in a woodworking magazine.
Thanks,
PJ
P.S. I searched for this information on Google, Google Groups (this
newsgroup), as well as "Rick's Magazine Index"
(http://www.rickswoodshopcreations.com/Index/Online_Magazine_Index.asp) but
came up dry in every instance.
Actually it was from Wood Magazine:
It was called: "best-ever Workshops". What you're looking for is on page
42.
Here's a picture of the project (to see if this was the right one):

I think you can order this issue, check out www.woodonline.com (it was
listed on the front cover).

This might be a duplicate -- I posted it using my news server and it
seems to not be downloading new messages right now so I don't know if
it got out or not. So I'm reposting via google:

doesn't say -- just says "Display until Mar 3, 2003" on the UPC code
box).

I made a leg vise portable by attaching a board(that could be clamped to a
workbench) to the back with a large hinge. It's made from oak pallet
runners.

Yeah, it was a Popular Woodworking mag I think -- it's sitting on my sink at
home. I'll respond when I get home and give you the issue #.

Thanks for the picture. I actually have that issue. I'll show it to my
co-worker and see if that's what he was thinking about.
