No, not that kind of vice. I don't really drink, smoke or... well... Never
mind. Let's just get to the point here.

This is the wood vice I have now. It works great except that sometimes I
need to hold a part in it that requires the "jaws" to be taller.

What happens is that the part hits the guide rods and screw mechanism at the
bottom of the jaws and I can't properly hold the part.

Does anyone know where I can get a wood vice with "taller" jaws?

Otherwise, I may just make my own...

Thank you for any help you can offer.

If it matters, I already have a large metalworker's vice/anvil thing set-up.
This one is used for smaller, more delicate work - mostly assembling brass
fittings and pneumatic controls for the machines I sell.

How much taller do you need. That link shows a wood vise and has screw
holes in the jaw plates typical of wood vises I've seen and used to fix
jaw plates. Most I've seen used by wood workers have wooden jaws fitted
to the metal jaw plates so can you make a set and extend them higher.
