wedge<p>Needed to give some thought to the brace joinery. Glue alone seems less than optimal considering the forces upon the braces, and I don’t want screws.</p><p>I was thinking about a hidden tongue and groove approach, but that’s a complicated task in this situation. A lot could go wrong and make it more of a hassle to fix just for the sake of hidden.</p><p>So I’m going for option 2, visible pegging.</p><p><a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodworking</span></a> <br><a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>
wedge<p>As a couple of people rightly suggested, I was over-engineering the saw vise revamp in my initial concept design. It was a lot easier for me to see by drawing the idea to scale in relation to my elbow height.</p><p>Basically it’s the same as the original vise construction, but the back jaw is now taller, giving more ergonomic height, and accounting for the bigger bite for wider saws. The hardware is not added here, but you can see the mounting holes. </p><p><a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodworking</span></a> <br><a href="https://woodworking.group/tags/ToolMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ToolMaking</span></a></p>
