Pinless leg vise (without a criss cross)
I build a pin-less leg vise for my workbench. This design is very simple, and very simple to make. The parallel mechanism is all wood. There is a hardwood parallel guide which runs against a strip of Birch on the under side of the leg rail.
Compared to more popular methods like linear bearings, St Peter's cross, or chain-contraptions, this is a winner. It's arguably simpler than building a traditional pin board.
I don't know if this idea pre-dates TH-cam, but I first saw this method used in Corneel du Toit's video. Please watch his video if you're interested in this design: th-cam.com/video/iMiapoEqyis/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jbRqp2_9_5JzC3ej

Redwood Roubo Workbench
มุมมอง 2.3K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
I made a workbench out of leftover 16 ft redwood deck boards. The bench is 8ft long by 2 ft wide, with a 3.5 inch thick benchtop. I'll upload a separate video for the pin-less leg vise retrofit.
Making a simple bed frame
มุมมอง 2502 ปีที่แล้ว
A minimalist and very low floating bed frame made out of cherry with birdseye maple bowties and a Douglas fir base. Finished with Danish oil and paste wax. I made this with pretty simple joints and wanted to get it built quickly. I don't show some assembly steps at the end, like adding a half-inch rubber stop on the back of the headboard, so I can lean it against the wall, and laying down the c...
Beadboard with old handtools

We got rid of a wall heater unit and needed to patch a hole in a beadboard wall. I didn't have a quadruple bead router bit handy, but I did have a Stanley 66.
Fixing a racking workbench
มุมมอง 2.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
My Moravian workbench started to rack front-to-back. The cause is a poorly fitted tenon. I fix it with some angle bracing. I also fix the tenon by filling the gap with a thin piece of wood.
Repairing Trestle Table Legs
มุมมอง 5204 ปีที่แล้ว
Wood boring beetles were found in the sap wood of my white oak trestle table. I tried treating the small holes with Timbor, and there were no more signs of the beetles. The sapwood is damaged, so it was removed from the leg assembly and replaced.

Restoring a hand saw (Henry Disston No. 12)
มุมมอง 14K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This is how I restore hand saws for using in my shop. This is a Henry Disston No. 12 saw from the 1888-96 era. It is a full size 26 inch saw with a nice straight plate. The teeth were in good shape and just needed sharpening.

Great work… keep up !!
Great job of cleaning both the steel blade and wooden handle, ensuring that the patena and history of the handle are preserved. Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Terrific build, I learnt stuff, many thanks.
I have a no 12 panel saw it’s amazing the difference in quality
Nice build. You are a quality craftsman. I'm impressed with your cabinetmaking skills. And the video is well done; well photographed. Looking forward to more. I note you have both a Stanley plough (or combo) plane and a Veritas plough plane. Do you have a preference of one over the other? Thanks again.
Thanks! About the planes, they are actually different planes for different purposes. I use a Stanley 45 as my plow and I have the skew rabbet veritas plane. Personal preference is to generally replace my veritas stuff with vintage restored equivalents, but the commonly available Stanley rabbet planes are not skewed, which I do find very useful in the Veritas.
Very nice restoration, I have several I need to restore, what were the products you used on the blade and handle?
Mineral spirits and a Scotch Brite pad on the saw plate to clean and derust. If it's really rusty, Evaporust soaked towels wrapped on the plate and covered with plastic wrap, and leave it for a few hours or overnight. Then I lubricated with oil and wet sanded to 1200. On the handle mineral spirits and fine steel wool to clean. To finish, I think I used Danish oil on this one, but l I've used BLO and wax on others
$300 bench plane but you grabbed the Millers Falls for the end grain... I'm a huge fan of their tools, planes mainly. Nice vice build too!
The Millers Falls is my daily smoother. Wouldn't trade it for any other.
How is it holding up?
So far getting beat up and holding up fine.
I like the way you incorporate power tools and hand tools together
How sharp is that plane?
Ok thank you very much i’ll give it a try. Last question is: if the guide block ramp is canted but the screw is horizontal wouldn’t they be out of parallel blocking the movement of the chop?
Yea probably the vise would start to bind. A very slight cant with the top of the chop toeing in toward the benchtop is ok or even preferred. Mine is pretty much parallel, and it works fine. But I worried about it and gave myself the option to fine tune it via the removable hardwood strip under the leg rail. Its just just very fine tuning, as if you go too out of parallel, the vice will probably bind as you suspect.
I inset a hardwood strip under the leg rail. You can create a canted chop by making this strip slightly ramped. This strip is friction fit and removable in case I felt I needed to fine tune the parallelism--i actually didn't need to ramp the strip. I did add a piece of low friction tape to the end of the chop guide block. The guide block should be hardwood and the joint into the chop should be as best as you can make it. I have a full length video on making this vise, so you may get some ideas from there. Good luck!
Very nice build! Im planning to install a leg vise with this system, it seems a simple and effective solution. I have few questions: i have a wooden screw and the nut has a bit of play, could be a problem with parallelism? My bench legs are pretty soft fir/spruce, could be a problem for the guide mortise in deforming? Has to be lined with some hardwood or low friction strip?How do you set the slight tilt on the chop so when tightened it’s parallel to the leg: both screw and the guide have to be tilted in relation to the chop? Thank you
Great job .... we learned a lot from you methods. do you have a video on vintage marking devices and how to restore them. Also a vintage spoke shave made of wood. Thank you, OORAH!!
Not yet but I could make one.
Beautiful wood in vice leg. What species? Super simple idea, well done on the build
Thanks, it's redwood, the guide block is mahogany.
Interesting take on the "pin" board. Why the inserted piece of hardwood on the bench stretcher? Could it not simply run on the stretcher?
That's for wear resistance, since the stretcher is very soft redwood. It also slides more smoothly on hardwood.
i cabt be bothered with videos that dont have commentry
I do love the feel of a London pattern handle.
Just Beautiful attention paid to detail, comfort and shooting for perfection. Well Brother, you landed just about spot on! Thank you for letting us ride along. I loved it and am grateful for your work as a model of how I should go about making my own! Cheers.
This looks awesome! Are you able to share the plans?
The Stanley 7xx series handles are were made from hickory. Dyed or toner was used to get that iconic stanley color
Great job
Interesting. Perhaps you could do something similar using a heavy-duty drawer slide at the bottom.
funny, we are of the same age (but you seem to be on the trade for longer than i am - 2 years) i have made the exact same bench. Mine is rather rough compared rto yours, but it really look the same. I know roubo is quite a reference, but the similarities are funny!
I advise you to use the pins (you'll need to make provision) whenever you can to prolong the inevitable. It will loosen.
I think you are right. It will loosen, but how soon, and how irreparably? I will find out if it was worth it.
You posted this the day I started looking into building a leg vise. Looks great! Thanks for sharing your process!
Any plans for this.
Looks great 👍👍
Incredible bench. It'll last 1000 years! To the question of weight. I have been using a 3x3 foot top 38 inch high bench made with 4x4s for legs and 3 inch thick laminated top from standard 2x4s and it weighs about 180lbs without anything on the shelf. Small but still substantial for hand toll work. Time for a bigger bench though.
Looks great!
Thanks!
Excellent execution and I love your use of hand tools. What is the weight of your bench?
I honestly don't know. The redwood is very light, but it's heavy enough, since the bench is so big. And I'll add heavy tools to the shelf.
I ask because I'm planning a bench build of a similar size with 3.5" white pine boards for the top and wondered how substantial it'll be. Great job on yours! I only hope mine turns out half as good!@@brochobo
@@patrickwilson623thanks! I wouldn't worry about the weight at this size.
I still could use a few handles ))
Very well done! And thank you for NOT sandblasting - thats alway breaks my heart.
Fine job!😛👍😎
Excellent job. Another treasure for the workshop. Enjoy every minute of using it.
Excellente
Where do you get that leather . I can't find any anywhere
❤o😮

that dosent look like mahogony to me? its to soft for handles
Amazing skills. Very fine piece of work.
Nice job! will you make me 3 of them?
Lovely! Well done!
When I saw that relic of a saw that was enough for me.
Why is my saw cut unstrait?
Awesome
Grateful that nothing was done to the handle.
Beautiful piece.
Beautifully made! I liked how you dado the pattern into the sliding frame! That was a good idea!
