Hi Everyone, I’d like to share a amazing gift that was given to me recently. A miniature 1:6 scale bronze Hardtail vise! This vise was made by Willem Buys. I have to say it’s hard to impress me anymore but this tiny vise definitely did. Every detail is spot on. I don’t have all the details on how it was made but ill leave a link to the facebook post. [Cool stuff by Willem | At last I can post the build pictures of the mini hard tail vice for Jason from Fireball Tool | Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/927992593880765/permalink/7358171507529476/) Hers’s some photos, I’m truly lucky to have a such a neat piece in my vise collection.

I’m assuming Mr Buys owns a Hardtail, but that’s a heck of a nice way to say “thank you” for a product. Clearly your vise is well appreciated! Great photos!! Buys is a very accomplished model maker. –Larry ---

Successfully reverse engineered, he just has to scale up his production! 🙂 That is pretty awesome, hats off to that gentlemen for his effort and accomplishment. ---

Incredible craftsmanship. Reminds me of the Wilton Baby Bullet vise. ---

Nope, living in South Africa the cost of getting vice is prohibitive. All dimensions and details I got from fireball tools website and many YouTube videos. ---

I am curious if this vice can be torqued on. Obviously not to the caliber of a large vise but it’s hard to tell from the pictures how stout it is. ---
