I’ve watched a few of these videos as I prepare to make my own moment vice. Yours is by far the best video I’ve seen. Well explained, nicely shot, no distractions, just solid info and a well executed build. Nicely done!
Completely agree! I've watched about 20 instruction videos over the past few days, in prep for building my own too. This is by far the best, and easiest to follow.
Best purchase! We are finishing our basement and I have use the Pegasus for paint projects, cutting tile, wood and keeping tools organized. Super easy to assemble and fold. It's light enough to move about and yet super sturdy. We are considering buying a 2nd one!
I made one about a year ago. I used quarter sawn walnut, I also baked the wheels at 350 degrees, coated in raw flack seed oil. This helps prevent rust and give the hardware a brownish black finish. Would do it all again. Well worthwhile.
They are nice to have for sure! Good idea about the coating. I recently cleaned mine and put some penetrol on the wheels to try and combat rust. It would have worked better and looked nicer if I did it from the beginning. Thanks for watching!
Very nice wow. Made it look so simple but i know there is more to it. I wish someone would have a channel where you actually have someone guiding you through the process for a small fee. Of course making sure we have ALL necessary tools and materials to start and finish the project. But thank you so much for sharing
Dave, what an excellent vice with easy to understand instructions! I've looked into cheaper methods for making these vices, but I really like the look and the movement of those wheels. Good job man!
This is an EXCELLENT video! Really. Great tutorial, voice-over, workmanship. You are seemingly a very good (and patient) instructor. I am now inspired to make one for myself. I think I too will purchase the Benchcrafted kit, and will try to do my level best to follow along with your video. Thank you sir!
Looks great,! Just to let everyone know, you can purchase Moxon Vise Kits from WDS Components Ltd. We supply them with handwheels or ball handles - the choice is all yours!
Very nice job. I love the vise and have to make one of these. I already bought 3/4 threaded rod, washers and nuts from local hardware. I saw a similar Moxon kit and for me, living in outback Canada it was going to cost over $200. Forget that. I may have to make some wheels out of wood to tighten the vise.
Beautiful vise. I’ve tried to make it three times now. But keep ending up with a similar issue every time. You mentioned in the beginning that yellow pine could be used as well to make this. I am new to woodworking and honestly I’m rather cheap and don’t want to ruin expensive wood trying to make it my first time. So I wanted to build this from the cheapest materials (wood) as possible so pine was my obvious choice. I started with a couple 2x6’s straightest and best I could find at my local box store. Then cut them down a bit longer than I wanted my finished project, then jointed and planned them down to roughly 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 each. Trimmed off a little snipe from the end and glued and clamped two of the best fitting boards together. Most times gluing up before work and coming home to find that at least one of the boards has warped/cupped if not both. Even with 19 or 20 clamps all the way around it. Should I just give up on the pine and just spend for the hardwood? Any suggestions? Thank you.
Thanks for watching. Sometimes the yellow pine from the home center is pretty wet. Maybe it has to dry out for a while before you start to work with it. Or get the boards close to size then let it sit for a few days then work it to final size. I built an entire workbench using this material and had no problems but I let it dry out for a while before using it. If the glued up boards end up having a little bow to them, use it to your advantage. If the crown of the bow is facing inwards, it will actually clamp the work piece better then a vise jaw that was flat to start because when the screws of the vise clamp down on the work piece, it will apply even pressure all the way across. In most cases the jaw starts out flat when you tighten the vise screws, the jaw bows and applys more pressure on the outside than in the middle.
This is the perfect vice for my little work space. 2500 x 1900 mm, yep we use matrix over here. 😎 but it is easy to make and easy to keep it in storage when not needed.
Really informative and well done video that I used it to help make some useful modifications to the Bench Crafted plans, like the 60 degree chamfer on the front chop. All done except for the stabilizer block to be done tomorrow and finishing. Thank you Cheers, Michael O. Alabama, USA
Very helpful video! After looking at a lot of different designs I went with one similar to this, and your video is very useful in making the steps easy. I like this simple design. I didn't use the kit but used all thread and some other hardware. Just about to put the finish on. You have a great speaking voice, and the music was decent, not distracting. High quality video,! Subbed.
Thanks! A few of you are inspiring me to start some metal work with all of your good projects. I have been tinkering but nothing good enough to make a video yet.
:-) I'm very confident if you make something it will be great - with your talent! I'm really glad to see the increase in your subs. Happy for you brother!! Keep it up and stay awesome! See you soon again! :-)
Unbelievable, the cost of the hardware shown at $261.00 plus taxes and shipping in USD. This doesn’t include the cost of lumber. Nice project but the costs are outrageous.🇨🇦👍🙀
It is expensive and there wasn’t any other options when I built this. Now taytools and wood river have the hardware kits for $120 and Amazon has similar versions for under 50 bucks.
Really nice vice and well presented so thanks for that. Quick question, what the hell is a jawl? Or for that matter a sawl? You know 'saw' and 'jaw' don't have an 'l', right? Or is this what you do with the spare 'l's you collect when you say 'solder'?
Lol. You will find similar comments throughout my videos. No matter how conscious I am about saying those words correctly, I can’t seem to make the change stick. I’ll keep trying though
You could play with those handles all day. U could play with someone to see in one spin who can get closer the the stop. On a serious note I saw the nut at the tear. Was that glued to the wood or free on the bar.
Lol. I spin the leg vise on my bench to see if I can get all the way to the stop in one spin!! The nut on the rear is just tightened against the wood so the wood is sandwiched between the nit that is inset and the rear one. The bottle I was using was a graphite lubricant.
Dave, very nice, straightforward build and instruction! Represents every feature that is needed for functionality plus portability. Maybe, I missed it but it appears to be about 24” in length. Will you list your measurements? Thanks, Tom
It’s beautiful 👌🏻 I just wanna ask a question though! If I make jaws on those two wheels like cycle gears n put in another gear in center n tie those 2 with it using a cycle chain n another 3rd screw which is only connected to the outer moving part of the vice! Would it work?
my BC kit is still in the box awaiting to be installed in some maple.... i should really get around to making this. if only i could get out of doing home reno projects.
Another great tutorial, Dave. I really appreciate the flow and efficiency of your videos. I referred to your Roubo build when I built mine, and couldn't be happier with it. Now time to add the Moxon for easier dovetailing. I'm curious-why don't you use your benchdogs on the Roubo's dogstrip for holding the Moxon vise? Seems it would take advantage of one of the key features of your bench for quick mounting of the Moxon vise.
Thanks. The vise can be mounted all around the bench including over the dog holes. You could pop a couple holdfasts in a couple of pre existing holes to clamp the vise down. Where the vise is in the video is only so I could get a good camera angle for the video. I usually mount in that location just because I have more room to get a good shot for the video.
G’day Dave, what an interesting inclusion to your Workbench mate, having a comfortable posture is really important when we age & I try to make things to suit my height, top Video buddy 🍻👍👍👍👍
Great video! Everything one needs to build it, and yet short video and to the point! Two questions though: 1) Again, why does the moveable jaw need to be 1/8" taller than the back jaw? and 2) How long are the "Acme" threaded rods? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thanks! The front piece or the chop is taller and is biased to the bottom of the vise to create a lip and make it easier to align to the work bench. Taller might be confusing, wider I guess. The threaded rods are about 8 and a half inches long.
Great job, that hardware looks so smooth. Have you seen the modification David Barron made to his moxon? He added springs to the back to the jaws open up without needing to be pulled open. Do you think that would be an improvement? Interested to know as a moxon vice is high on my list of projects to do.
I did see his video with the springs. I originally was going to add the springs but couldn't find the ones I wanted. I might add them later but the vise is working well without them

Great idea to get up a bit higher and not be a permanent in-place thing - really like it. Great vid as usual too man 👍

Thank you sir, appreciate your time to show how to build this vise thank you. You made it nice and simple... Ahh hoo thank you.
BRAVO! ... Well done, with good voice and music background ... video is great with good editing as well. Thanks for the tips too.
Thank you!
I like your style.
Thanks!
Great build and result!
Thank you!
Great video! Very easy to follow and the vise turned out awesome! 💪
Thanks. The voice over is the hardest part so I appreciate the feedback!
Nice job, also nice bench
Thanks!
Dave, what an excellent vice with easy to understand instructions! I've looked into cheaper methods for making these vices, but I really like the look and the movement of those wheels. Good job man!
Thanks! I know there are a lot of different solutions but your right, this hardware is so smooth it made it hard for me to go a different route.
Very nice presentation. Thank you.
I like it very easy and practical
Thanks!

Yea! So far so good.
This is a very informative video, think I’m going to make one. Thanks so much.
AWESOME VIDEO
Thanks!
Man this is a nice build. I need to make one. Thanks
Awesome video
Thanks!
Nice clear and simple. Good job

Totally awesome video! Such a great tool and so well made! A true pleasure to watch!
Thanks!
Great build. I like the maple for the vise. It will be the same material that I use as well. Fantastic job.
Thank you!
Beautiful piece! I can see how handy that type of vise would be.
Thanks! Now I have to get some time to get back in the shop and use it!

Very Nicely done indeed, making one now and will use the materials i have and try my best to mimic this Vice.... Thx

It is handy shop aid. In my opinion, your system is so much easier but we are stubborn over here. We will never change it!
Very nicely done-thank you ✅👍

Wow man great video...im makin one of these with the benchcrafted hardware with a 2 foot table attached to it because I live in an rv
Thanks! You'll love it. Good luck with your build
Just got to say, great video, no nonsense, easy to follow build, nicely done. Subbed for sure, keep it up!
Thanks! It says 6 days ago but it youtube just notified me of the comment. Weird
Guess it work for holding 24" wide cabinet carcasses for dovetailing too? Nice job!
Thanks. What nice about this style of vise is that you can make it to fit your work. You could have a couple sets of jaws if you wanted

Very good Job, thanks need one
Great workbenche add-on! The hardware is amazing. 👍
Thanks. It's nice to use and then store away when I dont need it. Someone else I know works like this!
Great video. A Moxon vise looks like it would be handy to have.
Great project! Ive been thining about building one of these for my shop
Thanks AJ. I'll be watching for your video!
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Also meant to add a comment on your holdfasts! Those are way cool, guy. I’ve not seen any like those.
This holdfast are made by Veritas. They are really nice
I like it!
Really great stuff. Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks!
Great build! Fantastic video! I'm so impressed of your builds and techniques! That vise looks really handy indeed. :-)

Nice video but 138 for a couple threaded rods bolts and 2 wheels I think I’ll hit the hardware store
