That's going to be one classy little vise!
When you said "Engraving the name" I wondered if you meant 'Baby Wilton' or the name of the builder :)
Now I know.  And it's going to look great!

It is the journey that matters, not the destination

Sometimes, it can be a long and winding road

All but one lathe part, the rest is milling....including the engraving/carving of the names

Looking good, Dave!
Will the engraving be done CNC?  Or some other method?

CNC. I want the name to look as if it was cast...so its in relief..lots of whittling.....will probably take it down in 3 steps with 3 tools ...so I dont wear out a tool before im done.

Made the pivot keys tonight.   They need to be carburized and hardened and then stoned to a tight fit.  They simultaneously provide the base pivot and key the vise moving jaw.   They are both a bit too tight at the moment, but they'll free up once I stone and polish them

That looks great, Dave!
And to see that piece in your hand helps me see just how small this baby vise is!
