I dive into my old collection of Popular Mechanics magazines to be inspired to build! I find a vise made by Pete Logan and decide to fabricate it! I come up with the plans and build it exactly how it looks, including all the problems I find. I weld, torch, drill, and grind my way to test the final version. How does it perform?
