I wouldn't do another shoulder vice on my "main" workbench.

How would you do it now? More importantly, WHY would you do it that way?

I'm not sure what I'd do, just that I don't like the shoulder vice.

It's a good vice for holding bulky half-built things, but it's useless
for small stuff. There's a large wobbling wooden jaw, closed by a
steel screw two inches below the top level. You can't hold anyhting
less than 3" tall, or the jaw just tilts.

I'd probably go for the largest and widest cast iron vice I could
find, with wooden jaws added.
