Just wanted to share this new vise from harbor freight. Very universal and good quality for the price. Building another Chambers LH Haines rifle.
Good little vise.

I bought one of those recently, not too shabby! Helped a lot putting my colonial together.
I got two of them but mine are blue in color but they look the same as yours. They are handy to have around. I'm not fond of the table clamp. I cut it off on one of my vices and screwed a rectangular block of aluminum on the bottom so that I can clamp it into my big bench vice.

I have a blue one that I use too, Very handy . . . wish it was a tad bigger sometimes, but it was a good deal.
I am left handed too.. . . I'd love to see pics of your Isaac Haines build. I've toyed with the idea of a Chambers Haines for my next build. . . I wish he made his early lancaster in LH.

BIL had the same vise from HF. Worked great until the cast iron gave up the ghost. HF told him sorry but too bad because he didn’t buy the extended warranty. Not even sure any warranty was offered. At least they don’t cost much. Hope yours holds up.

I have one of those on my bench. Added it a couple of years ago. I glued leather pads to both sets of grips. Been very happy with it.
the vice that Kibler sells is supposed to be pretty good as well.

It was when new. Hated the color, painted it grey. It’s happier now.
Kibler is selling a Parrot vise, totally different critter, don't get me wrong they're a great vise, I have 2 of them, just a different animal.
thanks

'morning,
Not nearly the same as yours, but I picked up one like this for in my repair box that goes with me to events. Jaws are 3" wide and open about the same, but super handy when working on something and you need a steady third hand.

Looks like I'm going to take a run to HF and check that vice out looks like it'll be handy.
I have that exact same workbench also.
