After deciding to make a homemade tail vice, I started doing research and I came across the HNT Gordon tail vice. Man, that is a beautiful vice! I decided I was going to try to make something similar but obviously not as stunning. I always look out for anything with threads that could be handy and I picked up a $4 car jack from the oppy for this project. Other than that I used scraps that I had at hand.
The only downside is the screw turns anti clockwise to clamp the workpiece rather than clockwise, I didn't think about this until halfway through the project. Ideally a left hand thread would have been nice. Although I've found that I'm using the vice from the front of the workbench where I'm working on my workpiece, so I'm not looking directly at the end of the knob, making a clockwise/anti clockwise motion less obvious. The knob is more of a roller with a forwards/backwards motion. With the little I've used it I've found I'm already getting used to it.
I know I could have saved myself the hassle and just bought one but this is what I enjoy doing - making my own things. It's like a puzzle that needs figuring out and that's what I enjoy. I'm sure not many would bother making a project like this but it may spark some ideas for your own projects.
I'm pretty sure the drawers for under the workbench should be my next video! And I'm thinking of making a leg vice, like Jay Bates with the scaffold screw but so far I'm struggling to get hold of one. I found some on eBay at a great price $16 but they wanted $26 to post it. I need to find one locally or I will have to just pay the postage.
I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Pask, your projects are always so well documented and very practical. Some guys on RUclips make some truly beautiful art with wood, but at this stage of my life, I am more into the practical items to improve the shop so that I can one day make the more aesthetically pleasing items later on. Your content is spot on, just wanted to say a big, "thank you," from the States - Cheers!
Me too! From Canada...!
Brilliant set of instructions, made it fitted to the bench with home made pop up dogs .
First person I have seen using plywood for a bench. It's tough, durable, stable and economical . Very well done sir.
Thank you! :)
Just a thought:
To flatten the table and keep those extra holes filled down the length of the table, you could run a metal strip underneath the table with those holes cut out. Then you could take a metal square, add a peg to fill in the hole off of the metal square. It would mount underneath, being flush on top, then you could use the same metal squares flipped over on top to set down into the holes and use as braces for the clamp.
I hope I made some clear explanation!
What a great idea! I wish I had half the toolings, expertice and patience you do. Congratulations on a terrific job.
Puțini oameni mai sunt așa motivați ,tot respectul.
Why so many people dislike such a great video
So many different approaches to a home made wagon vise... so worth it. You will love having one.
Thanks Tim! I think it will be great having vices, I've managed without them for too long!
Pask Makes I love creative building o on a budget like you do. Here is my bench lumberjocks.com/projects/294266
It's a beauty - love it! Did you use a scaffold screw for the leg vice? That's the way I'm going to go, if I can find one.
Good idea...not too complicated-you don’t always need big bucks to succeed! Nice job!👍🏻
Thankyou for the tip of the pipe bar clamp, I already finish the proyect and feel happy to have it but only the half nut to welding for not to move and everything gets fine see you and bye bye
For left hand thread you can cut up a largish turnbuckle to get the nut . Modify the threaded rod to suit your handle.
Thanks Trav! That would be an option, although the car jack has a nice acme thread - that's why I used it. :)
Way to think outside the box with that old jack! Awesome job.
Very clever use of an old jack. I’m impressed. Thanks for sharing!
Really, really a great job Pask. You took a lot of time and thought put into making this vice. Thanks for sharing.

Love that, my bench will have that upgrade soon!
I'm blown away by your creativity and imagination. I've learned a lot. Thank you
Nice work. Crazy pragmatic use of materials for a really useful addition to the bench. I’m going to be adding one to my new bench very soon.
Excellent idea! I might copy this design when I build a workbench :D
Thanks Cris! I look forward to it! :)
I'm going to try and make one of these from an old Workmate bench that was getting thrown away. It essentially has two ready tail vices on either side.
Thumbs up! You did a great job. Nothing like having a workshop with all the right tools.
Thank you Robert! :)
10:25 if you just turn and use round dogs with maybe a flat on one end you can just push them flush when not in use. I would like that better.
7:14 the other thing I would absolutely do differently is not make it a housed vise jaw. An actual open-jaw tail vise can capture so many things like for working tenons, using a draw knife, or working mortises on a vertical pieces like table legs. Plus, a ‘wing’ can also double as a face vise or partial end vise in function. All while maintaining the functioning of use dogs to the bench surfaces.
I really enjoy your creativity and innovation. I would have enjoyed hearing you narrate this video giving your thoughts about why you built it, bits about the build along the way and what you like best about it and what you might change if you made another. It was great though. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tony! I have spoken a couple of times in my videos and that was a big hurdle to get over, so I may eventually talk more on some videos. Glad you enjoyed it anyway.
we share this rock with some extremely talented people, that is nothing short of a work of art IMO, re purposing at its finest
I don't know what to say - thanks Mark! :)
This is the first video of yours I've seen, instantly subscribed. Good attention to detail in your work and I liked the pace the video set.
Thank you! Good to hear the feedback :)
@@PaskMakes me feel better about this position
@Jason you have some catching up to do by watching more of his videos.
This gentleman is brilliant in his design and completion. I always learn at least two or three things in each video.
ㅡ3
You are a very talented man, my friend.
Many thx, it's an absolute beady mate, i'm impressed and also puting this on my own bench as soon as i get the MIG.
I had no idea what a tail vice was or what it was used for, and probably will never have any use for one but it was fascinating watching skilled hands at work.
Ever the craftsman, and always an inspiration. I'm trying to think where I might have an old scissor jack laying around....
Genius. Great video Neil
An old scissor jack, wouldn't have thought of that. Really nice build and execution Neil, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Larry!
This has got to be one of the best videos, hands down, on a DIY idea that I have seen yet! Really well made !
Not like some of the other videos I have watched and thought, Why did I even watch that? My hats off to you, sir!
с таким количеством и таким разнообразием инструментов делать подобные вещи не трудно)
Really, really good. Now I want to run out & find an old jack!
Congratulations 👏👍
This is exactly what I was looking for its unbelievable how much those vises are
Now That's very cool. Great Upcycle. Those jacks are very handy. I have used them in a few builds and I use them for braking down pallets.. Great build video Mate. Thank you for sharing...shared.
Thank you Terry!
Fantastic work. I got rid of all social media... now I just watch people make stuff.
Awesome job Pask! 👍👍
Aloha Pask ,
wonderful use for the throw away find at everyone's past . IT ALREADY in my hands , just need to keep puttering with what I have for it to fit in to my new 'free wood and recycled base tripod of a wood bench for the outside were my yard is very much not on the level.
I knew I saved old Jacks for something,thanks for sharing and the inspiration.
So much for a simple work bench.
Только очень увлеченный человек может столько времени потратить на такой эксклюзив. Молодец однозначно!
Man you really work fast !!
Thanks for your tribal knowledge
Great Idea Neil. I have a milk crate full of old scissor jacks here, have been wondering if I could make some sort of vice or clamp from the screw - you have given me lots of ideas.
One suggestion (I think I saw this on John Heisz channel), you could add a hex insert or stick out on the end of the knob so you can use your drill to speed to the other end... probably a nice to have, not sure how useful in practice.
Thanks for taking the time to document this!
Cheers, Tom
Thank you! I'm glad it was of help to you. I've seen that done several times, using a drill, but by the time I grabbed a drill I could've moved the vice full travel - I'm sure it may appeal to others though. Thanks for the input!
I had to go to google translator to tell you these sincere compliments. You're the most sensational of your idea, congratulations and thank you for sharing.
Thank you Lucas! What a great tool google translator is!
One perfect video after the other. I need to go to sleep! Thanks for sharing. Tomorrow is an other day.
That's a fantastic job and you're a creative genius. It would be great though if you could add a little commentary to sum it all up at the end with your thoughts on the projects. But make no mistakes, you're a top bloke and a great teacher!!
Thank you very much! :)
That really was a pleasure to watch. I have learnt a lot from this. There's a couple of old car jacks out in the shed - I know exactly what they are going to be used for now. Thanks very much for this video.
No worries! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
You must be one of the most intelligent people on RUclips, you have video after video of amazing ideas.
Slick design! I especially like the cover plate, it gives the bench a really clean look.
Thanks Rodney - glad you like it! :)
Nice and slick! Built in!
Very clever. I saw an Australian vice like that on a video of David Barron's just this week. I have a spare jack in the garage too :) Pity about needing the welding gear but I reckon it could be done without welding. But perhaps I should just get a Veritas Wonder Pup/Dog instead -- even I can drill a single 19mm (3/4") hole in my bench top! :D
Thanks Tony! There would be ways of doing this without welding - the main fixed nut could be drilled into through the main body on either side, a pin epoxied in and then cut off flush. But buying one is an option too ;)
Fantastic worksmanship. that's too bad about the Ryobi scroll saw. It's okay though, I'm sure you'll get an opportunity to aquire something more relaible in the near future.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it.
Awesome videos bro no talking shit, smooth voices of the wood working and tools..... AND FINALLY A CHANNEL THAT IS ABLE TO CONVEY THEIR MESSAGE PROPERLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING. thanks bro ur awesome!!
Thank you! :)
That's another great job, it just needs to be on my work bench, Thanks for the videos
Thanks Gary! :)
Excellent video! I think the DIY tail vise is beyond me but I love the addition to the bench!
Thank you very much Scott!
I think you are one of the greatest!! thank you for your job. You give me more experience with every video you do!
Thank you! I'm not sure about the first statement though. I'm very pleased that you're getting something from my videos, that makes my day, thanks!
Fantastic! This is exactly what I have been looking for before I begin my workbench build. Thanks, Pask Makes.
Wow that was a really cool project. Now I know what to do with the 10 screw jacks I have
Beautiful job
You should be bloody proud of that one!
Thanks Ben!

Ben Good this dude is a badass.

M muito bom você é ótimo
Another cool vice.
Well, that explains why I picked up the old scissor jack my neighbor was throwing out on large trash day! ... Yes, I am a hoarder!
Nothing wrong with being a hoarder as long as it doesn't get out of hand. ;)
Sometimes I don't know what are you doing cause in México tools have different names, until you almost finish and I get pleasantly surprised! Regards!
Fantastic build
Thank you! :)
What a great idea and build. Thanks for sharing....now off to watch your workbench build, looks fabulous. 👍🏼😊
Thank you! :)
I'm just waiting for that video where Neil whittles down a whole tree into a toothpick. :D
Remarkable how many machines you have in your shop.
Only thing I dint like was you using your bare finger for brushing off.
Keep it up lovely video and good clear presentation.
A trailer tongue jack is left hand threaded which is exactly what you need for this app.
You are a mechanical genius!
I'm not sure about that but thank you! :)
Been looking for this video to rewatch, finally found it. Thank you
Cool, you were able to use every tool in the shop for this one.
Super cool build! And the videography is spot on.
Thank you Rob!
Never thought of using a scissor jack for something like this. That was a good idea.
Thanks David!
Love the idea, very smart! A jack screw for a tail vise would be perfect. Never thought of that.
Thanks Chris!
Great edit! Great project too. I need to get me a purple sharpie. Cheers! Chris.
Thank you! It has to be a purple one! ;)
Oh bugger! I think I tossed one of those jacks away not too long ago. Damn it, kick my arse!
What ever you do,dont take the one in the wife s car without telling her 😂
Very excellent work
Great idea using car Jack
I want you on my team during the zombie apocalypse!
Haha! :D
that would be now
No words, this is (excuse my language) fucking FANTASTIC amazing job and great use of blending
Looks like the right thread for a vice.
Awesome vise, now to give it a go myself!
Great work and great video...your volume control and sound effects are fantastic! One could just listen to the video and be impressed. Bravo!
BTW gorgeous bench.
Excellent video
Amazing job! The quality of the video is top notch as well.
Fantastic your idea. Congratulations
Cheers from Brasil
Thank you! It's based on a HNT Gordon tail vice.
Very nicely done
Thanks Shane!
Fantastic videos of your work. Really enjoying your workmanship and ideas!
I was saving a new car jack that had a really nice acme thread for a future build. Guess I know what it's going to be used for now. awesome job btw
No worries! Thank you!
Neil thats fantastic, and you made it look easy. Defiantly something I would love to have a go at now that its starting to cool down a bit. Well done mate
Thanks Max! I'm looking forward to the cooler weather too, I'm so much more productive in the cooler months!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Your welder would probably work a lot better if you had the cup at the end of the gun. That is so the gases surround the point of weld.
Thanks! The gases are at the point of weld as I'm welding with fluxcore wire (gasless). :)
Fluxcore..i weld only with it too.but i felt my welds got better with the cup on..just for distance etc,can use it for guide.more stable straight etc
Well done. You gotta be satisfied with that piece of work.
Nice Job, well thought out and presented on the video. I will be trying to make one of these myself, thanks for the idea.
Thanks Nick! No worries :)
Good build. I gotta do something similar
Great work! Never saw one like this, but I like the low profile! 👌👌
Thank you! It's based on a HNT Gordon tail vice, you should google it, it's a beautiful vice!
I see a custom log splitter i could make with this idea!
Very cool!i made pullers before with jacks.very usefull!
Good job!
Gostei do seu serviço e das inúmeras ferramentas ! Muito bom o seu passa tempo parabéns.
