I go step by step through the process of how to install a woodworking vise. This is a great addition to a workbench, and you can never have too many vises.
I used magnets to attach the wooden jaws to the vise, rather than screwing them on.
Hopefully this will help you install your own vise.

RU-vidrs note: the relentless disco music makes all the difference. This really is the most helpful video for installing this vise.

@sridharrajagopal 3 года назад

Looks great! One suggestion - instead of cutting out the bottom of the table to make the vise flush with the table, you could have just installed the vise as-is, and then screwed on bigger wooden blocks to the vise and then plane them flush with the table. That way, you'd have slightly bigger jaws than provided by the vise itself, and it would save the work of cutting out the recess on the table. Just a thought.

@PaulSmith-zs5je 3 года назад

This is correct and if planning you will not hit the metal. Always install metal vice below the bench top and bring faces up to bench height.

@lukemattson6031 2 года назад

This is a huge help to me. I’m 60 years old and I have Parkinson’s. I did some carpentry as a young man but very little woodworking. All of your tips are very helpful! I have my workbench built but I still need to make holes for bench dogs and I need to install two vises. I really liked the magnetic wood pieces to switch them out quickly. I don’t know how successful I will be but I’m having a great time learning… Which is kind of the point in my case! Please keep producing your great videos!

@devinnelson9386 3 года назад

I would like to notify all beginners, the half-inch of wood that is not flush, is TOTALLY FINE! do not go through notching and removing wood from your bench. And even in some cases, it would help, say you slipped and made a mistake, and hit your perfectly sharpened chisel on you hard steel vise, I've done things close to that, and it totally ruins your day. Please don't notch out the wood, the extra half-inch will be totally fine. Also, on an ending note, your vise jaws can but up to about 3-4 inches wider than the steel jaws.

@devinnelson9386 3 года назад

I have a butcher block bench, which is probably not ideal, but it was a huge waste piece that someone was ridding of for soap stone, so i turned it into my bench. I have some offcuts and the thick butcher block has made great jaws with leather. No magnets here.

@QuintenLansu 23 дня назад

An excellent video, and exactly the tutorial I was looking for. Turns out I bought the exact same vice from Amazon! :D

@alangknowles 3 года назад

The wooden liners can be much wider (+4 inch on both sides) than the steel jaws to allow you to hold boards vertically to the side of the screw. But you need to fix them using coach bolts recessed slightly into the inner face of the wood.

@SunyJim Год назад

This, is exactly the info i was just looking for

@kkarllwt 4 года назад

If using magnets like this, put some alignment pins in the wood pieces that fit the holes in the vise. Machine screws threaded into the wood works..

@LeenieVibes Год назад

Great idea! I would have turned the vice upside-down on the top of the bench to find the depth to chisel out. This would have eliminated having to measure and mark as extra steps. But then, maybe I am missing something I don't know about.

@pteddie6965 Год назад

Most people, use bolts through the front, not screws, screws tend to strip out the wood when excessive force is applied, (such as that of when you use the bench dogs) bolts will not and the head of a 3/8ths inch bolt is far stronger than a screw head. If it sticks out, grind it down with a file. Thanks for posting this, I have bought the same vise and was curious about mounting options.

@BobsWoodStuff 4 года назад

Good tip on the bolt to attach the front. That does sound stronger, and I will try that if my screws strip out.

@JustinLCooper 5 лет назад

Very informative and well done. It looks like one could remove the sliding jaw completely to get those bigger screws into the stationary jaw.

@JustinLCooper 5 лет назад

@@BobsWoodStuff For sure. I looked up the Pony vice from your video and noticed a retaining ring on the sliding jaw side and a small pin at the end of the main screw. Possibly a hassle to remove. Your solution was faster, simpler, and it worked!

@JerGoes 3 года назад

the magnetic jaws I don't think would work for me, I always fit my vice lower down the apron so as to have no chance of it getting near my plane or chisels, the wood jaws I plane flush with the bench top however. Not dissing your video tho, there is much to be taken away from it, I MUCH prefer the homemade bench dogs you showed to anything I've ever made which tend to fall into the hole and are a pain to get out!

@BobsWoodStuff 3 года назад

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'm not sure how useful the magnetic jaws really are anyway. I tend to just keep them in the same place all the time.

@shastastan1935 2 года назад

I have a bench identical to yours. It's been through the heat of a wild fire. The metal parts are corroded with soot and rust. I've cleaned them but the bench was sort of abused during the reconstruction. I've looked at some different vises included one for $170. I like your choice the best. Not sure if I will cut the notch or increase the wood jaw size. If I cut the notch, I'll use a saber saw and cut both sides. It's probably easier to make the jaws bigger and skip the magnets since I have a large vise on another bench.

@BobsWoodStuff 2 года назад

Just a note, this vise has gotten significantly more expensive since I bought mine, so make sure to shop around for one at the price point you like.

That vice is exactly the right height - you want to that the wood inserts cover tge last half inch or so, to avoid metal rusing above the bench surface. Again, the wood jaws are supposed to reach up to cover the remaining distance.

You could have just removed the outer jaw to get your impact driver in there. There is just a pin that that acts as a stop for the threaded rod that can easily be tapped out and back in.

Exactly right, Steve. Also, he could have just flipped the bench over to do all that chopping. Or used a router or saw. He was what we used to call "working uphill" -- against gravity and the hard way.

When you are using the vise with bench dogs to hold pieces on top of the bench, the piece hangs off the edge of the bench, and if the inside jaw of the vise is above the bench surface it will be in the way.

Liked the video, helped me out with a couple of questions I had. Speaking of questions, with all the damn know-it-all douchebags that just had to explain the wood working vise laws, probably should go back to the 1st grade learn how spell. I mean a typo here and there, no biggie, but when you're struggling with simple, basic words, I'd sure hate to see you behind a saw, you know what I'm saying Stubby? You'd think all those years studying law at UWW&VP, your comments wouldn't be such a challenge. I myself tried to get into the University of Wood Working & Vise Professionals, but was denied because of my opinion on the MWVLM or the Mounting Wood Vise Lives Matter movement. So I guess I'll eat crow. I had no idea the laws and regulations on installing a vise in MY SHOP. I thought since it was my equipment, my bench, my damn vise I could install it in any way I wanted, in any way that worked out best for me since I'm the one going to use it. We all need to understand that the vise popo are out there and they are hungry! If you step on the wrong side of the vise laws, the vise popo will be watching. Stay safe my fellow woodworkers, study up on the wood working laws and sand on!

@alangknowles 3 года назад

Paul Sellers has a number of reasons why you should NOT have it flush. Such as being able to grasp a plank without trapping fingers, and working on finished items such as drawers that have protruding parts. You can always add a spacer/hanger from the bench to support longer boards. Also, the steel should be BELOW the surface of bench.
