I was thinking a bit about this, the short metal vise versus the long wooden one. Mine is quite a bother to clamp the saw, I need a few extra clamps. So it is not great for "moving the saw along". In a metal vise with just a toggle clamp that works much better. When I have or want to turn the saw around i just take the whole sawvise, with clamps and saw and all and turn it around in my bench vise.
I have always wanted to make a nice wooden one. Sure need to move that up a few steps on my to do list.

I made this a few years ago, 24" jaws made from a piece 8/4 cherry that had a bow in it. The bow worked out nicely.

No idea why the pictures are rotated, sorry

It's an iphone thing. You have to open them up in editing software and then save them before they will display as intended. Not sure why. Nice vice though!

Usually just holding the phone on it's side ( Landscape) taking a picture.....then it comes out right-side up here. might try that?

Those folding saw vises were more for the fellows that used to sit on the street corner..sharpening saws. Others had a push cart, and also sharpened knives and other such items..while you waited.
The folding saw vise also needed a stool for the operator to sit on....as his foot would keep the vise steady. Might have been how Pete Taran started out?
