Indian floor bench vice

Sitar Factory Posted on Friday, 13 January 2012 by AnandaThursday, 24 May 2012

Ever seen these low, rigid and robuste wooden tables with a vice ?

It’s a clever and easy idea… to provide your universal bench vice with a stable and ergonomic base. It makes this handy basic tool so much more versatile. It’s a very useful tool for lots of sitar (and other -) work. A no-miss for jiwari work (!!), parda making and mizrab making. Over-all convenient for general wood work – cutting / sawing / drilling / glue-clamp. Although in India hands as well as feet are trained to perform together in sitar making, this always available, never tired and always strong helping hand will become surely your daily friend.

I’ve added a simple and illustrated “how to build” guideline to Maintenance / Tools – page. Or click here.
