Installing a Woodworking Vice to a Workbench (Irwin Record V175)

TIP: Although many things are described as being Mahogany, it has been illegal to export genuine South American rain forest Mahogany since 1974 (can only be used within the country of origin). Some does get illegally exported into USA and some of that ends up in other countries - UK included, no doubt. The chances are that when a product is described as being made of Mahogany, it will either be Sapele (which closely resembles Mahogany) or from a south east Asian plantation of Mahogany that grows much faster than in a native South American rain forest and does not have the same quality. So, if you do come across genuine rain forest Mahogany, it is either 50-year old stock or illegal. I know it's geeky - but that's me...!

Nice job. Clinical finishing. Lots of likes. Thanks for uploading this video. Wish You A Very Happy New Year 2024.

Great video Phil. Just got this vice and installing today. Have a great day. All the best from Ireland 😎

got an old 1 of these about to fix to a new bench, thanks buddy

Nice job Phill, that will make a pleasant change from working at the workmate on the patio ! As they're nice thick hardwood jaws you could consider adding a small dog hole (or two) to enable you to clamp wide boards to the bench top !

Super Phil.Can I kindly ask you to make a portable vice which can be used any where? Please also make vedios on Various methods to finish wood work. Various oils/Finishes in UK Guide for Jigsaw and circular saw . Please continue to inspire us.

Excellent video, Phill. Really useful

New to ur channel man. I like this Irwin Vise. I bought a small Magnusson vise off Amazon and I wish I hadn't now. It's not great at all man. It's got way too much slop in it. The holes for connecting the wooden jaws to it are too close together which means the wood flaps about. I'm thinking of building a new workbench with 2x4's for the top. I might just make a nice narrow workbench instead just for my hand planes and sawing work. I've gotten to hand tools of late and I love working with my new planes. I bought them cheap but i managed to get them set up really nicely. The shavings are so good. The Magnusson vise was supposed to give me the ability to be able to clamp wood so I could plane or saw but it's garbage. I think I'll be investing in one like u have here. Great build but I have to say I LIKE THE WORKBENCH U BUILT. i SUB'D AND LIKED TOO BTW..

Nice. Bought the exact same vice and this helped me out a treat!

Thanks, have bought the same one. Wish me luck😊

Cracking video Phill, been putting off installing my clamp until I watched this 😀

Great video, helped me decide the ‎V175B was the right vise for me, Thank you. What size coach screw did you use?

I installed same vise on another bench and removed since I like YOUR install way better THANK YOU SIR from West Tennessee!

Nice video, mate. Just bought the same one and will mount it like this. I was thinking about filling the space between the back cheek and the bench, what do you think?

Noice Voise!

Great video, thank you. Do you have one about how you attached the additional wood under your bench? I'm going to have to do something similar.

Cheers Phil, great work as always (show off. Lol). Did you see that question about my mitre saw that I asked you the other day with the photo link I left also? Cheers.
