Thanks - if you didn't know, the holes in the Allgraphics vice are 1/8" and 3/16" diameter. I bought some brass rods from a hobby supply store that I use to cut longer pins with. I like the Allgraphics vise. It allows me to do a lot more stuff.

By the way - what hole spacing did you use to drill the block - what's the distance center-to-center between the holes?

I know I can measure myself - it looks like 1.5" but if you already know what it is...

Thanks to everyone for making this a very informative thread. Between the Bondo molds (and other materials) and the various vise/jig solutions, Colin should be able to tackle this job.

Looks like there are numerous "Stunt Engravers" in our ranks! :-)

I used 1.5

I made a layout the size of the block with the holes drawn.
I printed it out and positioned it on the block for drilling.

The holes can be a little off and oversized and still hold the block when the vice is closed.
