To get better working distance, the old solution was the 'leg vise'

Ah, the correct name! I just wasted ten minutes searching for "hinged vise" and
"wooden vise". My dad built one back in the 70s. Worked great on large flat
stuff which is what made it was for. Not worth a durn as a substitute for a
bench vice though.
