No camera right now
But I based my home made vice on that design

But I mainly made it out of plywood and oak
As I had the wood and the proper tools

Also mine is crude looking but it works

I went to Harbor Freight and bought an aluminum one actually made in the US(!) for $14. I took a piece of 1x4, split it into 1x2" and cut V-notches in the center of the 2 pieces. Just place the vise on a block of 2x10 and bolt it down solidly. Make sure your shell is centered before turning the roll crimp bit on. Nothing fancy, and it works OK. Beats the $40 that BP wants.

Thr biggest problem we have had on the shell vises we have has be the rubber things inside the jaws....tearing up, coming unstuck, or falling out. Howevr, we run more ammo through ours than most people would. The answer in a rubber bicycle tube....makes perfect inserts!
