Drill Press Vises Galore Tips  

Mr. Pete, it has been over a year since I have commented on your channel. I can count on you to refresh my interest in shop practice. The passion you have for shop subjects is strong. You are able to hold my attention without waver. Thank you for all you do. Please keep making videos in your unique style. I'm in my late 70's and one of my earliest shop teachers was an English man that was in an exchange program. He had your passion for this subject. You get an A+ for entertaining me. Thank you.

I always make it to the end. Takes me back 30+ years to my Grandads farm and looking at all the tools he had to fix everything with. The good ol’ days. Thanks for the vids!

Mr Pete, your videos are great! You make me miss my shop teachers! They, like you, made/make learning fun. Never ever boring! Collecting and working with tools is better than wasting away in a recliner. Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to getting my first lathe running, making chips, and then buying a bigger lathe :-) !!

Another South African watching and enjoying your humour and musings. Tool lovers and hoarders all over the world.

Mr Pete, thank you. Your videos are as entertaining as they are instructional. Straight instructional videos with a narrow and concise topic have their place but, the little extra tidbits you include in every presentation are worth their weight in gold. This knowledge being passed on won't be found in any textbook. There is always a history or some other fact about tools and machines that would be lost without people like you. Again thanks, as long as you have stories you will have an audience.

Watched the whole video Mr Pete, I enjoy the background stories. I appreciate very much the humor. Keep it up, Thanks

I said to myself, I could watch you all day and before I know it, I have! You are a great teacher!

Dear Mrpete222 I am from South Africa and enjoy your videos tremendously. Thank you for all your effort and willingness to share your knowledge. Have a nice day further. Best regards Ernst Pretorius

I did see the whole video, because I think it is very interesting to see the many different types of vices, and very well done. A man with no vices has no grip on life. Thank You for time well spent!!!

I stuck with you for the whole 9 yards, and got lot's of project ideas . Thanks Mr.Pete

Yes, many of us watch the full length. Always a pleasure, THANKS!

I'm still with you Mrpete. Love your vises. Thanks for sharing. I learned a thing or two

Thanks again. Videos of all your tools reminds me of when I was a kid in the candy store!

I stuck with you till the end! I love the videos and want to THANK YOU for sharing all of the knowledge you share. You obviously enjoy being a teacher.

I just love these rambling videos mrpete 222. Thank you ever so much.

Always enjoy your shop classes. Thank you for your time and effort.

Thanks Mr. Pete. I watch you videos quite often and plan on using a handful in my new career as a community college Machine Tool Technology Instructor. Ps in only 24!

Made it through to the end. Love your channel Mr Pete.

I watch the whole video, a lot of good information about different designs and manufacturers. You pretty much nailed it sir.

Watched with great interest 'till the end. The equine carcass has been well tenderized. Thanks Mr. Pete!

Enjoyed seeing the collection! Would love to see you machine those castings into a pair of small vises. You need two more, haha. Thanks Mr Pete for your contributions to the RU-vid community!

I watched it all the way in my home in the Grand Duchy of luxembourg, I love your videos and look forward to the next!. Jim Ashton.¨¨

Thank you for making this video to help the younger generation gain the useful knowledge.

Watched all the way through Mr Pete. Thanks for sharing

All the way with you Mr Tubalcain! It was a very informative tutorial, learned more about vises. I also like when you come up with manufacturers mention, some of those companies are no more but its nice to know of their quality products. Nostalgic, we remember the days of catalogues in magazines. By the way, there is a lot of machine work in Africa - they have to keep their Chinese railstock, and Indian made Tata trucks running among others. Did you know that South Africa, Republic of was one of the countries that made a nuclear device. I live in New Zealand, but was born in Uganda. Thank you.

Thank you for the videos. Between you AvE and Abom79 I now own a lathe and a Bridgeport. Neither of which I had ever used prior to starting watching your videos about a little over a year ago. Keep up the great work and know you're effecting others with them. I'm converting my plastics and woods hobby shop to a machinist shop.

Yes sir , very interesting video . Had to watch till the end !

Watched the whole video. I have been a tooling salesman since the 80’s and I am a step below a hobbyist machinist and I enjoy your videos. I have said it before but your voice and sense of humor remind me of a dear old friend. Hope you keep beating the dead horse my friend.

Enjoyed the whole thing! I don't think I have ever NOT watched any of your videos all the way through.

You are a real treasure Pete.You take a mundane subject and make it interesting

Dear Mr Pete, I am from South Africa and was forced into retirement before I wanted to,I dreaded the idea until I decided to learn metal turning on a lathe and using your videos.Since I started this hobby at 65 years of age I have not been bored for a second and have so enjoyed learning a new ,useful and interesting trade .Even the covid 19 lockdown time flew by. May your health ,enthusiasm and humor last for many more years . Regards Grey. Norton

Made it to the end! Didn't feel like 35 mins. It was perfect timing, playing around with some vise ideas at the moment. Thanks for sharing mate!

I watched the whole video and gave it a thumbs up as well. Thanks for the fine presentation.

The whole thing I like your videos I wish I had you as my shop teacher

Watched the whole thing! Thanks for your work, I learn so much from then!

Absolutely stuck around till the end! Those little vise castings are very interesting and I think they would make a fun project! Thanks for sharing as always Mr Pete!

I always watch your videos "in toto", especially enjoying the off-topics and the rants! Greetings from Iceland (latitude 66° north).

A man of many vices is true and that's why I watched this from start to finish.

Finally got around to watching this video. Couldn't stop! Almost everyone of the vises was your favorite. I guess your kids won't have to worry about which one you love the most, because you just can't decide. Of course I watched to the end. I might have missed your most favorite vise.

Hi Lyle, I was here for the entire video. Guess I just like your style of making videos. :-)

That is not a collection, that is a Hoard. The difference being that a collection put on display to be looked at and admired, a hoard is piled up under work benches and in boxes. And there is nothing wrong with that! Keep making these videos. We love watching them.

love these vises! I have a tilting one and I love it! good video Mr. Pete

Every video you've made has been watched by myself in their entirety and been thoroughly enjoyed!!

I watched it to the end.I’m glad I discovered this channel.Great information and a Lotta good humor

Lyle, another great one for reasons of my own !!! Thanks a bunch. Your friend here in southwest Michigan, Cliff

We all have our vices mine's watch Mr Pete's videos to the end :-)

I watched from beginning to end. Love your musings!

I really like the X-Y vises. I have been looking at garage sales and flee markets for a vise and haven't seen not a one. After seeing the cobbled together vise I think I might give it a try to make one, I do have a welder , drill and a saw. Thanks for sharing and giving me the idea of just making one. Was thinking of useing the bolt from a C-clamp, I have a few with acme threaded bolts.

Mr Pete I watch all your videos to the end thanks for making them

I wonder if I in my lifetime will ever meet a person, who will sit down with me and enjoy this video as much as I did. I doubt it. Would be lovely, though.

:) I think you could be called VISE President ;) and I also think that many of your viewers made it to the end . All the best to you and your family. thanks for sharing

still watching at 35min... I'm from France but my wife is from Morocco... thanks for the inspiration, chief, and keep on trucking !

"Is anybody watching this?" Yes I did, all the way through and didn't doze off once! You have mentioned you are a man of "many vises" and you certainly made that point in this video. You know I laugh out loud every time you hold up that graphic of a man beating a dead horse. In fact I laughed as I wrote this. So thank you for a laugh as well as a tour through your many vises.

Watched it all and thank you for a tour of your collection.

Made it all the way to the end. I watch and enjoy all of your videos, and eagerly check for new ones every morning.

I always watch your videos all the way through. I learned a lot and enjoy what you have to share. Thanks Mr. Pete.

Thank you for another interesting video. Interesting and entertaining, as always. Thank You.

I watched from beginning to end...Lots of great vices...👍🏻👍🏻

All the way to the end ! I have vise envy. I only have nine that I can think of. I have a couple of the small palmgren vises that I got after seeing one in one of your older videos. I just had to have one lol. Thanks for sharing.

Me Pete, you make them as long as you want I'm with you. Keep them coming.

Of course, I watched to the end. I always enjoy your twists on very familiar subjects.....thanks for you being you

I watched the whole thing and enjoyed hanging out. And yes, you have a lot of vices. Hello from Anchorage.

Watched to whole video. Keep up the great work my friend.

Tubalcain and AvE, are in their own way, two of the most entertaining and educational men of the youtube world. You can learn more in one or two videos than you would in a semester of university. This coming from a 4th year engineering student. Keep up the great work!

Mr Pete, Those little home made vices were a project we made in machine shop in grade nine... I remember getting a poor grade on the one I made from those identical cast blocks... I kept mine for many years in my tool box until I decided to take it apart and remachie it... I think if we had the same equipment in school as we did in our large manufacturig areana I may have goten a much better mark... That said, those little castings are what we started with... Enjoy the video, brings back the fun times we experienced in those days...Bob

I love it to the end. now I know I don't have enough vises. thank you

24 year old welder here; I made it to the end. I am very jealous of your Heinrich vise

Howdy! I watched to the end. Thanks mrpete.

Very good video Lyle, watching from North Bay Ontario Canada.

Watched the whole video! Thanks for sharing

I get watch it all the way to the end. Wanted to tell you thank you very much for all that you do. Your information is always appreciated. Best wishes from South Louisiana.

Wow too many vises...I'm calling the VICE squad on you Mr Pete! Really like the swing jaw drill vise, never seen that, very interesting vise. Thanks for the video.

Enjoyed all 35 minutes and 33 seconds of it

I love the little Palmgren vises because you can stand them on end, squarely. I was lucky to find a 1 1/2" model. They are also nice because you can clamp them in a mill vise. Mine spends most of it's time under a hand-tapping rig.

Just had an enjoyable 35 minutes love the shoe comment I will have to count my wife's shoes and when she next say's what do you want that tool for!!! looking forward to the next video in West Australia

Stayed for the whole class, Mr. Pete. Also swept out the welding booths and clapped the chalkboard erasers. ;^) BTW.... not a "collection", but a "work in progress"

Have never shut you off early yet MrPete, with you till the end. I know I'm not supposed to covet another man's vise (or something like that), but I have a serious case of vise envy. I only have two vises so far, one is from the chinesium store like the first one you said you hate. The other one came with my antique 21 in. Buffalo Forge. It's a 6 in. Speed Vise. Great vise, although it looks like the craters of the moon. I think Bubba must have used it when he was in highschool. I'm wanting to get a new vise so this video was great to see. Thanks again MrPete.

Yes, I watch just about all your stuff. I really enjoy them.

I watched it all the way thru as I am seriously considering making a pair of small vices. Thank you Lyle !!

Great Video as always Lyle and yes of course I watched to the end. :-)

I watched the whole video. You are mesmerizing!!😀😀😀

Mr. Pete. I was with you til the end. GA, USA.

I guess there are worse vices to have than collecting vises.

I always watch ALL your videos, this one all the way to the 35:33, time mark. Thanks for sharing your vises with use.

Getting to the end was easy. You have interesting vises.

But rambling is the best and most enjoyable part ... thank you for sharing

Enjoyed learning about the different types of vises. Made it through to the end.

Mr.pete222 people are still watching your videos to the end. ScoutCrafter recommended your channel. I have a LOT of catching up to do! We have a lot of similar interests. It's as if you made all these videos just for me. I hope you are staying as safe as you can in this difficult time. We don't want you taking a dirt nap anytime soon. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

As requested, I stayed the course and watched the whole video. I've been watching your vids for several years now, trying to figure out if I have more tools than you do. I think you have me beat. Keep the vids coming, you are fun to watch. Regards, Chuck Arkon

Enjoy all your videos. Always watch till the end,in NC. Enjoy the talking videos just has much as the chip making ones!

I watched all the way through and made my wife come in for the shoe part

Thanks Mr. Pete, can't have too many. An hour's work on a surface grinder with square angle plate can turn these cast slugs into very accurate toolmaker vises. Made it to the end with some skipping.

I watched till the end . Have a nice weekend.

I watched all the way to the end and thoroughly enjoyed it . Greetings from Scotland .

I'd love to have 1/4 of those for my shop ENJOYED IT

Stayed the whole time and enjoyed every minute.

I am trying very hard to understand why I laughed at that Dunlap joke. That dad joke could only have been delivered with your signature style to have landed so flawlessly. I was in stitches.

I watched your video, and enjoyed it. Maybe one of my "vises", would be watching any video you put out here to watch. Keep up the good work!

Yes Lyle I made it to the end I even learned a little thank you

I am from South Africa and I just watched the whole Video thank You
