Yay no music no talking well played Mr awesome job
Great work! I like this project, especially how your design keeps racking under control
Great take on the nickleson vise love the patern in the wedged tennon.
Thanks! The wedged tenon was my favorite part of the build
Great Work!
Thanks dawg!
Build this vise cheap! Pulls out TIG welder. To each their own though.
So much negativity in these comments. You obviously wouldn’t need a tig welder to build it. You wouldn’t even need to use steel pipe if you didn’t want. Epoxy the nut inside a hole in a piece of wood and use wood blocks as guides for the acme screw.
Wouldn’t you use it if you had it?
I have one of those rockler glue bottle/roller too. Those are great. Saves tons of time on glue ups
The silicone brush bottle topper is great too!
@@hooker_custom I just checked, and that one came in the kit I got too, but I haven't tried it yet. Gonna do that soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Gives new meaning to “Bench Dog”
Lol! Exactly!
Under dog?
Came out awesome!! 👏👏👏
Thanks dude!
nice video. Wondering if you get any racking of the nicholson style vise. Probably not if you are close to the acme screw.
If you clamp opposite the screw yes it racks a lot. But clamping as close as possible to the screw there’s very little racking. It holds very well for everything I’ve needed to do.
It might be cheap in terms of $$ but cost a large amount of time and effort in learning the precision woodworking skills.
That's why people like me prefer to take the financial hit. Otherwise it would take until next Christmas to produce a DIY vice that looked like your dog chewed it out of an old piece of hard cheese.
Hahaha. Good point
@@hooker_custom I just realised that I may have insulted your dog in my comment. His chewing skills may exceed my woodworking skills. Please give the dog a pat and scratch from me and ask for his forgiveness.

Idk, but if you don’t have precision woodworking skills, you probably don’t need this vise. If you can drill some holes and know how to tighten bolts and nuts, go buy a vise at Harbor Freight.
I think this is great but what keeps it parallel? Thanks
The shaft collar/washers on the screw side and the 2”x2” guide bar on the opposite side. If you tried to clamp something all the way over to one side on the guide bar side it would skew, but as long as you clamp pieces near the screw side it holds just fine.

Beautiful job dude - would love to make one one day if I make a nicer bench. You have a beautiful shop too, I’m envious. Was that a beeswax finish?
Thank you! I can’t recommend enough having a big heavy bench and good vice. It has totally changed the way I work. The finish is a hard wax oil that I sell on our website HookerCustom.com. Thanks again for the kind words dude
This looks great. I'm wondering how you feel after some time with it with those screw handles that seemed a little on the small side? Are they actually not an issue at all?
Thanks! I get plenty of clamping pressure with those handles. I plan to add some small balls or knobs to the end of each handle though so I can open and close the vice quicker. Right now when I try to use my finger to quickly spin the handle I tend to slip off. Other than that I’m very happy with the set up after months of working on it daily.
@@hooker_custom cool cool. I was wondering that too: How fast it moves. Sounds like it could be a little faster but not bad. Is there one or two sets of threads on the screw?
@@Ostrolphant just one, if I understand your question correctly.
Well done Sir. Watching you work with metal and wood showing your craft in refreshing! I plan to build a end / tail vise. Today I will alter my plans. Thanks largely to you.
Thanks for the kind words! It makes me happy to know people are appreciating the videos.
@@hooker_custom You are welcome!
Great looking vice. I could barely see any racking. Does the postioning of the acme screw and post matter? The post runner slot you added seems like that would help alot. Still like it?
The runner slot is necessary. The positioning of the screw and post shouldn’t need to be too specific. I’m very happy with it so far! A quality twin screw would function better I’m sure, but the complicated install and the price made my shy away.
The wood would cost me £80 + metal parts
I imagine most who would have a need for a large bench vise like this have enough wood leftover from other projects to build it. And I find it hard to believe that a few feet the cheapest hardwood in England would cost over $90 US. I can get European beech here in the states for $6 a bf, if not less.
This Wood is very expensive, wishing I lived in the USA,.
@@MikeWilliams-yp9kl the savings of lumber may be offset by the cost of healthcare 😂😂
Not sure how you call a 1 screw vise a replacement for a twin screw vise. That has very low clamping pressure on the left non screw side! Nice workmanship but not a replacement for a twin screw.
Seems to be an adequate replacement for me. To each their own.
@@hooker_custom Apparently, you have never used a twin screw vise. Your workmanship is very nice, and I enjoyed watching the video, but it is not as good as a twin screw vise.
Works fine for me
"Build this simple workbench vice[SIC] for cheap" if you already have a soldering machine, a metal lathe, a table saw, a drill press...or just buy a twin screw vise.
You could build this without a welder or a lathe. Just use an acme nut on the end of the thread with a pin drilled through to hold it in place, instead of turning a piece of steel like I did. The basic info is there. It’s up to the viewer to figure out how to make it work with their tooling and skill set.
And if you don’t have a table saw or a way to rip a board to width why would you need a large bench vise???
I knew there'd be a comment like this... What, you've never heard of JB weld? Can't find a used table saw on the cheap to get started?
Poor craftsmen blame their (lack of) tools.
Such a beautiful vice but your level of craftsmanship is so far above my grade I wouldn't try it. I would ruin it and spoil my admiration of your design, your video and especially your workmanship.
I appreciate the kind words! You should start with something easier then. Try building a moxon vise. You can get a hardware kit fairly cheap and they are very simple. And then at least you’ll have a very useful vise to hold your work while you build your skills.
