Has anyone got plans for a small toolmakers vice to put on my surface grinder. this vice has to have the jaw clamp bolt ...that goes diagonal..........so pulling the jaw down instead of lifting it . are these difficult to make has anyone made one like the one at the bottom of this page for =A385

I've got one of those, I bought it from J&L many years ago. It was about £60 back then, but they are usually "on offer" at about £25 these days from them. Hardly worth making one for that -it is fully ground.

Kevins right, if you look around a bit you can find them quite cheap these days. But half the fun of having all these expensive toys is actually using them to make things, usually more tools for the workshop:)
In this case the little japanese guy (again!) has drawings and pictures for a similar one here
