Vise pedestals
I note that Peak and Norlander provide, or recommend, white surfece pedestals. Having done this myself many years ago using Formica covered plywood I wonder why other vise makers don't also use a powder coat white paint their pedestals. What a great aid this is in viewing materials you are about to add to the hook. Maybe this could become a standard practice. As a detail issue, the home made Formica surface plywood is really nice since spilled lacquer or paint can be washed away with lacquer thinner. Formica is unaffected by it. In my classes I provide pieces of white file card stock for the folks to put next to their clamp-on vises.
