Certainly not ground breaking but over the years this set up has been very handy for me.

I'm never thrilled about metal working in the woodshop but it is a way of life for me and this little set up really speeds things up when there is metal to manipulate. The wooden tee section is somewhat robust (ish) and I have often furiously beaten on stuff captured in the metal vise jaws with no failure for close to 20 years. I have also TIG and gas welded assemblies in the metal vise, a burn mark in my bench top serves as a reminder to lay down some masonite when the heat is on.
I can't help but look at those blue Record vises and mourn the loss of this company.
