Why not just buy a base for the Regal you have? The generic base for 3/8" stem  can be had for ~$20 from Amazon or J Stockard (probably other places too) or the Regal Travel Base for ~$150 but still less than a whole vise. 

I made a base for my "A" about one month after getting it back in '75,  hard maple with pipe fittings and still use it, I've seldom found a table  that the C-clamp fit. (with home made gallows tool, I also made a similar bobbin/thread support and rarely use either)

Well, the new one would hold bigger hooks better and it’s purple sooooooo
