Vise Grips were my first vise. Then I moved on to X-acto knife handles, files, can openers, hemostats, vintage hand vises, jeweler vises, clothespins, dowels, and even branches from the maple tree out my front door.
Even though I have paid $$ for some vintage vises, I almost always tie on my low-budget home-made vises. By the way, I was at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum and saw in a display of vises, a vise grip held in position by a rod welded to its midsection.
