DIY 10 Tonne Bench Vice
Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in.
In this video I am making an air assisted hydraulic bench vice. I recently saw a video on RUclips where the maker (WorkshopFromScratch) built one similar. I decided I must have one and have made several changes to the original design. I hope you enjoy the video!

Making a fume hood for gold refining

Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in. In this video, I am making a fume hood for some future gold refining activities. The hood itself uses 18mm thick ply wood and 6mm plexi-glass window and sash. The extraction system is a bilge blower which allows me to circulate the whole volume of the internal fume hood each minute. Plenty enough for good extraction of air. Underneath, I have included a storag...

So how do you extraxct the gold and silver?
No flux to draw impurities off?

Is your exhaust fan still working? If yes, what make and model is it? I bought a random cheap exhaust fan and it only lasted 4 months with the corrosive fumes. :(
Nice build. It’s a year later, but a few comments. Nice dog. She shouldn’t be allowed anywhere you’re welding or she will become a blind dog at some point. Interesting that at first I wasn’t happy you were butting the beams flat under the table, but then I realized that those were the sides and not the top.made them vertical. I suggest putting another copper work clamp rod on the opposite corner of the table. It’s best to have that as close as practical to the point of welding.
lookin super sick with the colors
Hehe the doggy always watching ☺️
hello, thanks for the video! i welded a crucible like yours and before using i noted that if i fill it with water there are some micro leakage caused by my shit weldings.... should it be a problem for melting aluminium (i think it shouldn't cause alu is not so liquid as water) ? did you try if your crucible had some micro leakages before using it?
Dude.. grind it out and re weld it. You should have zero leaks, strong-full solid metal to metal seams
A lot of work, good job and thanks for sharing
Hey Kris, do you sell the plans for this build?
Hello, great job, did you have a approximate cost for the build? Also did you have any problems after using with the corrosive vapors eating up your vent motor? thanks
Great work, could you give me magnetic's electric system ? Thanks

Amazing!
So, after a year, what works and what doesn't? How did the lights hold up to the corrosive fumes? It's a solid design for sure. The only thing that bugged me was the "feet" you made for the catchpan. You measured everything so precise except the placement of those feet. It's a tiny thing, but it stood out to me. Spectacular watching the process though!
Awesome vid thanks for sharing.
‼️👏👏‼️
What would you charge to make one of those for me?
That is really awesome! Love the HUGE vice!! Great video! I love to see you make stuff! Keep up the good work!!
Wow! That's really something! It was satisfying to watch it crush that steel tube. Great Job!
Wow good job on making a new vice bud. I hope it serves you well, and it also looks great too.
What is the name of that thing that melts the metal and how much do they cost?
Hi mate, they are called a furnace. You'll be able to pick up one like mine for around $AUD 500. Devil Forge make a great furnace.
I really enjoyed watching this! I didn't know such things existed but now I need one. Keep it up!
Thanks Seth, mind you, if I could actually hit a punch and keep it centered I wouldn’t need one. Ha ha. Alas, I can’t keep a hole centered to save myself. 🤣
Wow that actually cool. Goid job
Fun looking project.
Excellent. Why your table is black? Bluing to avoid rust?
Hi mate, thank you. Yes, it is darker but that is because I left most of the mill scale on as an extra layer of protection for the table. I also regularly use WD40 on it to prevent rust, and I think this has darkened it a little. 😀
@@ProjectDIYOz interesting. Thanks for the reply. Table looks good!
In terms of making shorts it's nicer if you make the intro a bit shorter😅 (for video's I don’t mind tho)
Looks neat, I would like to see this made with other metals as well.
You definitely earned the sub for the efforts and details in this vid.
Also I want to say your design is very good, safe and practical.
@@ProjectDIYOz I am gonna make a fume hood in my workroom, I have ventilation options to attach the fan to, so it will work out. I am going to refine gold.
I like the video and effort you put into the fume hood, I like the design. Only thing I want to add, It would be nice to either put in less (loud) background music and interact a bit with your audience, explaining why and what you do. Or either a mix of small background music combined with the actual background noises of you making it. Take care dude💯🤙
Thanks mate, and yes, very much looking into it. I’ve done it a couple of times, just have to front up and do it on all my videos. 😀
@@ProjectDIYOz It is not that you have to stand, talk and explain, but just a small explanation here and there and background noise, throughout the video makes the video more interesting 😁
@@Killngo I hear that, it’s not a hard thing to do but you are right. It will make for a more interesting video. 😀
@@ProjectDIYOz you're welcome man! And don't worry do it when you feel like it the quality of your video's is already good you can even make it easier by just voice-recording and speak about what you are doing and seeing in the video.
That’s an awesome clock! Well done man!!👍🏻
Thanks mate, a simple yet effective little project. 😀
Well done, always liked those Professional work! Always see so many used blades at my job
That’s really awesome!!😯. Great job man!!
Nice cut on the vents.
Very eye opening for me. I don’t know a nything about melting and molding metals but I need a 1.5” lead cube. I would like to try and do it myself. Can you answer a couple of questions? That will really help me. 1. I can’t easily buy lead ingots but there are plenty of lead sinkers/fishing weights around me. Can I use those instead? Are they pure enough? If not can I easily remove the non-lead parts through the melting process? 2. What is the white powder that you used? 3. What is the soil? 4. How thick/high should the soil beneath the cube mold be so as not to burn the table or furniture beneath the mold? 4. What is the liquid inside the pail? Is that plain water? 5. How long should I wait before I remove the resulting lead cube from the soil (in your video it seems that you removed it while it’s still hot) and put it in the liquid? Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Sure can, how can I help?
@@ProjectDIYOz Answering my questions above will really help me. Thank you.
No worries, so any lead will do fine whether you get that from car batteries or sinkers it’s pretty much all the same and melts around the same temperature. The white powder I use is baby powder or talc. It helps release the mold. The soil is petrobond sand, it is a common sand used to sand cast items. It can be bought from a few places, I don’t know what country you’re in but you can get it online if needed. Being that the lead isn’t a “high” temperature metal to melt, about 2-3 centimetres should be fine. As for water quenching, you can put it in at any temperature without fear of a steam explosion. If you had sand on the cast when you quench it this can prove to be an issue. I hope that answers your questions. 😀
@@ProjectDIYOz Thank you very much! I see that you put the lead cube in the water while it still have some sand on it. Can I safely do that too? What should I carefully pay attention to?
You can, you just have to be aware that it could cause hot water to be sprayed everywhere. It’s all about carefulness. Being lead, it wasn’t as big of an issue due to the relatively low temperature.

Wow good job on the rocket stove bud. It turned out nice actually I look forward for more videos 😊
Wow good job bud am looking foward for part 2
Thanks mate, I appreciate your kind words. 🙂
Brilliant stuff mate!!
Fantastic!
Thankyou, I’m glad you liked the video. 😀
Great job! This will be a great addition!
Wow good job on the table bud the blue paint looks great on it too.
Awesome dude came up really well!
That table looks great!!😮 awesome job!!👍🏻
Thanks for the kind comment mate. 😀
Honestly brother, that’s a great little table. From a boiler makers point of view, I would invest in some ceramic spray and give the table a coat when you are going to weld on there. Will save you having to grind spatter off and will increase the longevity of the tables flatness. Ceramic spray will also wipe right off with a rag. We use it at work.
