A small machinists vise l made in my senior year in trade school 1961. Use it all the time on my various projects. I never really finished it.; l needed to drill the hole and install the pin that keeps the screw from pulling out of the sliding jaw.

I've got my vices.
These two vices, a woodworkers vice and a machinists vice, will mount in various ways.
I use them upright, mostly, but I've got options.

I have this little charmer that looks like I pulled it out of the Atlantic.
Previous owner used it quite a bit. I left the little wooden pieces in the jaws. They just go together.
Needs cleaning, obviously.
