I need to make a barrel vice.

Something to think about is using a block of Oak. Take a block of oak and drill or machine it out to the diameter you wish. I have used 2" x 2" x 2" oak blocks. Then wrap the barrel in a sheet of lead dipped in a powdered rosin. Brownells did, at one time, sell the oak blocks, lead sheets and rosin. You would be surprised at how well a block of oak holds up.
