Thank you, one and all, for all of this marvelous info. Yet again you all blow
me away with your breadth of knowledge and you generosity of sharing it.

My inclination is to respond to each of you, but I will resist. Please just know
that I will be referencing this thread (and the other info Mr. Conroy has shared
in previous posts) a lot, I am sure.

One more question - what is the general consensus (if there is one) for the
ideal diameter of wood screws for a Moxon vise? I was leaning towards 1-1/4” but
would a smaller diameter work? 3/4”?
