Pinless leg vise (without a criss cross)
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
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 trad...
Redwood Roubo Workbench
มุมมอง 2.8Kปีที่แล้ว
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 3022 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
มุมมอง 4173 ปีที่แล้ว
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 2.3K4 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 5514 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.
Making a dovetailed tea box with a sliding panel
มุมมอง 16K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Made out of scrap walnut and birdseye maple. A practice piece for some larger sliding panels I hope to do in the near future.
Restoring a hand saw (Henry Disston No. 12)
มุมมอง 14K5 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.
Making a London pattern chisel handle

Making a london pattern handle for an old Marples and Sons tang chisel. Made out of scrap ash wood and a plumbing brass ferrule.
Recreating a Stanley 750 socket chisel handle
มุมมอง 8K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Handle is made out of mahogany, dyed with Angelus winetone leather dye, finished with shellac. The leather washers are made out of 8-9 oz veg-tanned leather with some acrylic leather finish.
making a leather skiving knife

Installing and using a generic adjustable tool rest
15:24 why would it ever occur to you to face plane a board by holding it in a vise that way??
It was just to illustrate that I could go from edge planing to full jaw capacity without moving a pin on pin board.
Absolutely gorgeous
Beautiful work.
Verstehe immer nie warum man nicht das passende Werkzeug hat für das Projekt. Stümperhaft das Zuschneiden der Tischplatte.👎👎👎🇩🇪
You can achieve this with placing a pair of $3 auto store 2" bearings on the lower trascking arm of a leg vice too, one above, and one tracking below the arm . Icant remember where I saw this and forgive me for not supplying the link. Anybody??
Question, does the threaded pipe part need to go through some type of threaded insert, or can I just drill a hole into my table leg and call it a day?
Yes it needs a threaded nut. You can buy a vise kit that will have everything you need.
👍👍👍👍👍
This is the most beautiful table I have seen in my 50 years of life. Please continue to do projects and make videos about it.and can you tell me what type of wood you used and what are the dimensions of the table? I would be very grateful. Robert from Croatia
Thank you! Redwood as this is going to be sitting outside a lot. I'll update this comment with dimensions.
@@brochobo Thank you very much
Table top is 21 inches by 46 inches by 3 inches. The legs are about 4 1/2 inches by 5 inches by 13 inches. Since it's through tenoned, the total height is also 13 inches. All dimensions are approximate.
It's beautiful.
Noice!
I've watched your channel since the tea box video a few years back. Always excited to see what you make. Lovely workbench for small people.
I rarely see Redwood furniture and this is quite unique. I live in Northern California where of course Redwood is always available. But i never see it used on the internet videos. I actually have been building Redwood table legs with a White Limbaugh and maple table top. It's a utility table for my kitchen. It needs to be strong. So i chose Redwood for legs. I placed a stack of 2x6es on my work bench and used the stack to add height to my workbench, laying 24x24 plywood over the stack. It created a very sturdy workbench top for me to continue other smaller projects while i was waiting for the wood to settle into drying and collect ally other woods for the project. Just laying the stack created a nice thickness that felt substantial for my workbench. I ended up buying Purpleheart to build a mini workbench to place onto my workbench so I have a substantial layer on top my workbench to work in the Redwood. Very interesting seeing an actual Redwood workbench. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. Just about anyone would tell you it's the wrong wood to use for a workbench, too soft too light and splinters easy, but we should just use what's available to us, especially for shop furniture. I had some long 2x6s from a deck job, and I wasn't going to let it go to waste.
Wouldn’t a few holes for a pin make it work better? In the wide setting I can see some tilt to the chop.
In terms of maintaining parallelism, of course it would work better. Is it necessary for effective work holding? For me it is not.
@@brochobo good to know. Also easy to add in the future. What brand of screw is that. The yost is just such an ugly blue color. Yours is black.
Unknown, it was salvaged from an 80 yr old leg vise found in my garage. That one actually used a door hinge at the base... So about as non parallel a mechanism as possible!
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?
Scary sharp !
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 can cut saw teeth into the top of the parallel guide that use the mortise as a pawl to prevent racking @@brochobo
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.
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
