A pipe vise is awesome for holding, but he wants to create zero cosmetic 
damage.  Pipe jaws in a bench vise, or the chain style pipe vise will 
both dig in.  I'm not even sure I'd risk prismatic aluminum soft jaws 
for the zero chance of cosmetic damage he is going for.  I'd go straight 
to the leather surfaced plywood vise jaw liners.
