Hi
Lads
Needed one of these for some time now
I am just making it up as i go using what materials i have to hand
The side of the vice was machined square and a 12 mill hole drilled and tapped in the fixed jaw

I cut some threads on a bit of 18 mill stainless bar that my wife rescued from a scrap barbecue at work, they used to roast whole pigs on it (got her well trained)
This gave me a chance to use my ER32 collet holder to machine a square on one end.

The bar screwed in to the vice
