Hello fellows.Here in Brazil vises ready to use are expensive (when you find at web) and very limited.
So I decided to copy this project below but without quickly release.
The wood use here:Peroba Mica (Aspidosperma macrocarpon) and Parajú or Maçaranduba (Manilkara amazonica) the dark wood on legs.
The orinal project is here at YT:

Thanks for attention.

See the pictures:
