Vise Solution
Maybe some of you could give me a solution to a Regal Vise that keeps turning unwantingly.
As you can see, it's a clamp on.
Brass screw is tight, but vise still turns.
Seems holding screw won't hold the shaft tight enough.
If I tighten it down anymore, the screw will probably strip.
It needs to be securely mounted if I'm going to try tying Glo Bugs.
Here's a photo of said vise.

Excellent idea.
Thanks.
Are you a lefty?
Yes, I am.
And all thumbs, too.
