Great job, Jack. When I watch your videos, I get ideas for many small projects too. For example, in this video you show a simple and elegant way to make a handle by using a hole saw, making several pieces and gluing them together. You even get the option to make the handle composed of alternating pieces of different colors or grain patterns to make it attractive. Thanks for an awesome idea.
i know nothing about woodwork or joinery but i do like watching your vids they are straight forward and easy to understand ..keep up the good work mr Jack Houweling
Great project, Jack! I'm definitely going to make this to replace the crappy so-called "drill press vice" I bought a while ago... it's always binding up whether you're trying to open or close it, and I've gotten to the point where I don't even use it any more. Your vice looks like it works much much better.
Great build. I reckon that would be a pretty handy vice, I only have one drill press vice and I use it for metal and wood - one of these would be great for wood.
Very nice Jack! My old welded repaired vice finally gave out, so I might scavenge some parts from it and build others like yours and have a Frankenvice! Thumbs up!
Very cleaver Jack! Your vise turned out great as did the video. I have been wanting to build some type of tool with a threaded rod so I may give this one a try. Thanks for your videos, always informative and enjoyable to watch!
After looking at your drill press vice you gave some ideas. I have a very small shop and I do not make big things but from time to time I need to drill something small so I made a small Drill press vice.
Hi Thanks for post, Where in you have clear my confusion of fixing moving jaw with the bolt. No other post on the you tube have described though there are so many. I am working on the same project for last 3 days, today some how I fixed everything but when I tried to move the jaw with the handle it does not moved. Disheartened I lie down on the bed and saw this post of yours , which state that the NUT IN THE MOVING JAW ATTACHED WITH THE BOLT SHOULD MOVE FREELY BEFORE GLUING THE 2 PARTS. I immediately stopped the video and went to remove the 2 glued jaw (with 3 part epoxy 5 minutes) . It was just 15-20 minutes after I fixed the 2 parts. I took isopropyl alcohol and put on the joints. Within 2-3 minutes I could separate the parts without damaging any of the 2 parts. Now kept for drying. I will broaden the nut part of the jaw hole so that nut moves freely with the attached blot and the join both the parts of moving jaw. This time I with screw 4 corners of the moving jaw. Thanks for your post, in which details were described very simple, covering micro level information with no drama😊 . Regards, Raghubir
I've looked so long for a great big vice for my shed, the new one I bought is pitiful and I've given up all hope of finding a good old Dawn or something. Maybe one day. Great project Jack, I love your channel and the interesting stuff you build. Have you made any/seen any of the fidget toys people are making? You're pretty creative, I'm sure you could make a great one.
Nice Vise. I'm wondering about the wood grain direction of the outter vice face being horizontal. I would think vertical grain would be better, but I dont know. Maybe not. Nice idea, love the fast drill action
I almost never see people build metal machinist vises on youtube. It's probably because they are precision ground, or that you need a decent one to hold the workpieces in the first place, but It would be nice to see a build video of one. Some decent attention to detail and it would have to come out better than one of the chinese jobs.
Good video, I have been meaning to make a vice like that for months now but every time I go to make it something more urgent comes up. At least now I do not have an excuse not to make it. cheers
nicely done! hind site 20/20 the one thing I will do differently is to drill a through hole into that nut and drive a nail through that to make a mechanical connection to keep it in place and not rely on the epoxy alone. for you it will probably be fine with uust epoxy, but with my luck ...
I'm not a software expert, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you're using a combination of separately recorded audio clips and camera-based audio for your videos?
Sir, thank you for your video. I have a question, have you gotten your hands looked at? I hope I'm not being rude, but the way your fingers are curled is concerning. It looks like either dupuytren's contracture or sclerodactyly, which is an autoimmune disease. I am only trying to help. Anyway, thank you for the video it's very helpful.
