Have you ever seen a fractal vice? It consists of nested semi-circular jaws that swivel to automatically apply even pressure to an irregular shaped piece. It will not let me post a screen shot but here is one being restored. I cannot see in the forum FAQs if one is allowed to post youtube videos, so my apologies if not.

Not detracting from the original post, but I thought this was a particularly clever design.

If you do a search for "milling vice with adaptive jaws" there's several interesting designs out there, including this one which used parallel round rods in a set of add-on jaws
