2nd Hand Record is the way to go, got one for £15 earlier this year, stripped cleaned and repainted good for another 50years.

A good vice! makes life so much easier.

Another Record vice; used but mint from eBay - took a while to find one that was local for collection. Bolted to an old tubular workstand from school workshop (did have a guillotine) and some surplus kitchen worktop.

Or look on ebay for local pickup vice, there are bargains about

I have picked up mint Record vices for 10 quid recently , do not bother with rusty abused stuff unless you enjoy restoring things.

Definitely read the thread on here listed above.
