After I read your post, I went and looked at my vise. It's mounted right,
but I did it about 10-15 years ago and I can't remember exactly why it's
mounted where it is, but I must have known something. OTOH, when the handle
hangs straight down it blocks opening the drawer mounted underneath the vise
which is another thing that many of us fail to recognize. A simple 3/4"
plywood spacer under the vise would have saved me much hassle.
