Proposed modifications !
This is to allow joints to be cut in the ends of wood, it provides a 'hole' of roughly 200mm square so the wood can be placed in the X or Y planes.
It's based on using this vice guts; http://www.canadiantools.co.uk/tools...19.html#SID=50, the rest is made from various types of wood (normal for this type of vice )
Made so it's removable with a replaceable insert to put the bed back to normal.

Pictures show how it looks with vice fully open and fully closed.



I can't have the vice sticking out at the front so the only thing to confirm is whether I can hold a piece of wood in the jaws while tightening the vice.
There's more than enough room above for the spindle and tooling.

Edit:

Would this do instead ?
