This is a "Quick Release Drill Press Vise" that I made entirely out of Red Oak.

Check out my YouTube video of it in acton. 

Cheers!

Great idea, very handy.
It is Oldtool. Very handy and I use it all the time. 
Have a fairly good sized metal one.   Heavy, clumsy.   Thinking your design would be a lot handier and more useful.   Like the design and  functionality of it.   Thanks for posting.

It's very versatile and can easily be used in other capacities. Like you said... easier to handle. 
Nice handy vise, Rick!!

Nice handy vise, Rick!!

Thanks Jim! 🙂
Me like!
I have a metal one for my DP, but it is a bit "shallow" for a good hold on taller objects.
Nice features are a set of "V" grooves (horiz, and vert.) plus some holes that let me secure it to the table. Clamps would work fine on your flanges or you might already have that in mind with your DP table.

Can't argue with the fine looking wood you choose! 
SplinterGroup... here's my clamping arrangement. When I made my adjustable add on  base for drill press, I also added LV t- tracks and LV hold down clamps

Looks good Rick. 

Splint, holding that vice with the Track widgets is a good deal.
holding that vice with the Track widgets is a good deal.

I can see that, very quick to apply.
Shouldn't take a whole lot of force to keep the vice in place and simple to move anywhere.
I also have these clamps and they work well too!
