Just saw this video thanks to a link on another site I haunt. I did not know this existed, and now I want one. Video is about the restoration of said vise.

Yes it very cool,I have seen machinist vises before with swiveling jaws but they have never been that complex, the vice is a piece of craftsmanship in itself.
