Talk about cool-looking Vises . . .

Yes. It looks stout in the video. But small. I have a nice Parker smooth jaw carriagemakers vise that does the same thing and it has a lever that is easier on my hands than that tiny crank. BUT it seems to work well for him.

Well,  they've apparently sold 50 or more high-end vises at their price, with good user feedback.   There is a new video up on this:

Some points may be arguable, but I admit if somebody gave me one of these I would go ahead and install it

I saw a picture of it in use the other day, IIRC they had it on a mount of some kind so it could be rotated.  It's not that it doesn't rack, it's just that the amount it twists is low due to the size of the bearings.  I have no place to put one, so i'm not saving my pennies for it, but it does look like a nice vise.

It looks like T. Lie-Nielsen has elected to buy an HNT Gordon patternmaker's vise now:

that patternmakers vise looks very nice! Looks like the outer moving jaw may not tilt like an Emmert for tapered work? Or just add a tapered jaw liner?
either way, it's very cool
