Update #7:

I filled and redrilled the moveable arm in order to reset the placement of it with the stationary arm. Much better now. The cam also makes 80% contact on the bearing surface inside. 
 

I also mounted the structure to a slab of cherry i had. Its fantastic. Doesn't move, doesn’t ask for permission. 
 

I used 1/4 x 20 pitch stainless inserts (EZ Lok) and a few long wood screws going into the plywood areas. 

Next actions will be the jaws. Im going to use some vintage phenolic blocks glued in. I tested it with wood glue and it worked great. It just tore the wood fibers instead of disbonding. This will hold leather very well and resist lots of wear.
