Why not make or have made steel plates that bolt onto the jaws that
extend the height up to or past the wanted zone.

Most of those vises have holes for wood plates for that purpose.

Any machine shop can make 3/8 or 1/2" plates that hang over the rods
and hang under - and extend upwards as you wish. Holes matching the
jaws, or if not, countersunk holes on the plates and matching holes and
bolts on the jaws.

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.
