Looking for a vice for a workbench

[Kicbak]

I'm looking for vice I can use for both front and sides for my 36"x20" knockdown workbench. Since it isn't large I was trying to find something for the scale of the bench. Does anyone know how the woodriver vice is?

Any opinions on what to use? I don't really want to spend a ton since I am not sure it will make the trip when we move to Amsterdam.

Does anyone have a wood threading setup? I would also consider making the whole thing but the tool to make the threads is as expensive as the vice.....

You could use pipe clamps. New Fangled Workbench (PDF)

On a previous bench, I used pipe clamps and never liked them. It ended up being a hassle to build and then adjusting the clamps open wasn't easy enough. After using a real bench vice I'm sold on having one for hand work.

I'd like to see the 36 x 20 bench. I need to build something small like that.

I'm going to get the lumber today but it will be something similar to this

I'm going to practice my hand skills though and do most of the joints as sliding dovetails.

How about one like this? It's easy to install and you could remove it and take it with you if you move. I have the 7" Grizzly version and it's worked well for me.

I have two of the
Grizzly version of this one on my bench and they have worked well. I don't see the Grizzly version on line any more, maybe they only have the Shop Fox version anymore.
