Just noticed - that scaffold screw cost $36.75. It would be cheaper to buy a cheap bench vise from pricness auto and use the screw from that (or maybe just use the whole vise)
Glanced over your channel, added over 2 dozen of your vids to my "watch later", The couple I have watched already, you work similar to the way i used to. My health took a dump on me so I have to just envy in awh.
I really like these kinds of videos where we just watch someone build something out of nothing and it's silent except for the sounds of the tools. It's relaxing. A lot of people blast you with obnoxious, irritating montage music and I always turn those videos off. I can watch these because it's therapeutic in a way.
John, i like the way you manage things in your shop, with minimal tools, maximum jigs! You never cease to amaze me! Awesome job! Something to shoot for!
A craftsman in wood and video production! The hum of saws and sanders and nailers commentate intrepid and dextrous use of each tool. Not sure I need a wooden vise, but this one sure is beautiful. Nicely done, thx for sharing!
When I took woodshop in High School, we had to make wood projects to scale size, like an anvil and other tools, through the years I lost them. they were really nice. We could not get a passing grade without these projects, nice video. thanks for showing it.
One of the best RUclips videos that I have see of late. Not just sheer coolness of this project and the enginuity that went into, but also the post video production is really well done.
Very nice project. Also I really appreciate your video cutting work, which makes it a beautifully dense project explanation - while still highlighting how much work it actually is. You are a master in project storytelling. By the looks of the woodgrain you made the jaw covers from hardwood maple - this looks like it will be a useful vise lasting a long time.

Mr. jhon, you have a fan here in Brazil, I never tire of seeing your videos, thank you for showing us your talent.
I've just watched your Brad nailer vertical draw video and had to watch the vise being built again. I think this vise is beautiful and practical. I am currently without a vise so I planning on building one soon. your videos and builds are brilliant John.
Тут еще кроме рук инструмент качественный, а у нас такое говно в магазах продают. Зло берет купил сверло по металу взял Bosch в Леруа Мерлен его хватило на пять отверстий в стали 8 мм. У нас в детстве на уроках труда сверла были лучше и стоили копейки и так чего не возьми.
Hi John, just watched this for the second time I forgot to hit the like button the first time. Excellent I might make one myself one day. It looks like a very usable addition. Cheers
I have worked with a great deal of artist and craftsmen over the years working for Disney and the like, and I have to tell you, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing, Phil Mendez
I love how you cut the bullshit and get straight to work in your video. I subscribed and you didn't need to make a 4 min intro to ask me to. Other RUclipsrs should take notes. Keep the good work!
john, once again a great video, your love of woodworking comes through, so creative, the finished vice looked stunning, and it works ....keep posting. Garry from the UK
Wow! I stumbled across your channel today and have watched a few of your videos and subscribed. Your talent and ingenuity is simply amazing. Your videos are a treat to watch. Thank you.

John Heisz Vises are usually cast iron. I am a metalworker, so a cast iron vise is perfect. However, steel jaws scratch wood, so they are NOT good for woodworkers.
Yeah!! they're perfect for wood 😌 because obviously they're a lot softer than cast iron and don't scratch wood. I guess if we're worried about that you could just use wooden pads but it looks gorgeous in full wood anyway😉
I don't know if it would be strong enougth like a metal benchpress , but to hold some books on a desk or on a bookshelf , it would be amazing ! Nice "tool" to decorate in a living room ...really well done . I would not use it in a shop , this is a so nice piece of art .
After watching this. I really wanted to give it a try. But then I realized that I don't have my own workshop. Long story short, my neighbor was piiiiised when he found me in his workshop at 2am.
This Is sooo awesome to me, I took all the metal smithing courses i could at college. You wood workers always left me in awe. I was ok with the fire and the crucible, the table saws and what not always scared the crap outta me. Anyway, just wanted to leave a positive comment and also ask, were you going to put any rubber pads or anything on the actual parts that would be gripping what ever you put in it? not sure how it would work if you put something harder than the wood in there, would seem like a shame if its marred up the finish you put on there.
John Heisz did u get your machines for cheap or high price if u got it for cheap plz tell me how and where i can look for them also just subscribed keep up the good work
I just got this package a few days ago, and I've had a hard time putting it down. There are lots of full-color pictures, with thorough descriptions of every step in the project. The plans are super easy to read and understand, unlike several others I looked at online. Definitely a valuable addition to my woodworking reference library. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in woodworking *TopFineWoodworking .Com* >>>>
Nice video, and nice work. I also build things that cost me more than buying them cheap. But I like handmade things. I use the word "things" because it can be anything. I'm a wood carver, and I had friends ask me why I didn't use a rotary tool or power tools instead of knives and gouges... They say it would be faster, I answer that my time is free, the joy I get from carving is priceless. Keep on posting your videos. Except for when your fingers got close to the saw, I enjoyed the video...
As a boilermaker, I'm all about making something out of nothing. This is a prime example of craftsmanship not only appearance wise but also in design and functionality. This is where we can enjoy the fruits of our labor in knowledge and skill learned in any trade!
Would be even better to see more of the finished product at the end. Two snaps and then the video ends, bit of a disappointment after a ten minute video.
Very nicely made wooden vice,obviously took a fair bit of planning,and no doubt it gave you lot's of pleasure making it,well earned vote from me,and nd a good view.
Assembly filming genius! All the shots are cut perfectly in keeping with the audio rhythm as well as the interesting framing makes it difficult to stop watching!
Omg this was so addictive to watch... great job. I work with metals only, as a lathe operator, but this makes me wonna buy machinery for wood makin and do it at home as a hobby...
John, you have outdone yourself! It wasn't just the Vice that was way cool! It was the creative video editing and videography that was just the right amount on show and fabricate. I learned a lot, and was pleasantly carried along the journey to craft a useful, in expensive, durable tool to earn a living with, or just make beautiful things.
Looncan step 2: call 1-800-wha-aahh lol. He's got a great set up and great tools. It's not needed. You can improvise and use pretty inexpensive tools. A bit slower, but very doable. Many of the tools he used are relatively inexpensive anyway. The biggest asset he's got is know how. It comes from doing, plus vids like this help.
I just find it a bit disrespectful to watch someone's video and then make no comment either than (in effect) 'since I don't understand your units of measurement, you should learn mine'. It would be like me watching an American video and then demanding cooking translations from US pints to British ones. Or demanding that the original poster use UK English 'vice' instead of US 'vise'. Also, capital letters and 4 exclamation marks/exclamation points is called 'shouting'. I am quite familiar with both UK Imperial and metric and will quite happily accept either, but please accept that I have the right to use whichever I wish in my own videos. I think the video maker is entitled to do the same.
John Bull I understand the imperial system. But there in NO logic in it. The math you need to use to convert things is just stupid. The Metric system is far more easier to use in real life. Just move the comma. Sorry for my bad english but u get the point.
Fantastic - Congratulations! I'm just getting started in this "Wooden Wonders" ... Hope to be able to accomplish things like this in a few years ... Congrats! And thanks for sharing..
I'm fine with the table saw but yea the hand tap in a drill, I keep seeing people do this and it kinda drives me nuts (pun wasn't intended but I'll take it) I was always taught to do it by hand so you don't damage your threads or tap, 1/4 turn forward 1/2 turn back
Man - i LOVE this vise John - i cant wait to build one like it. Im just nervous im going to sand/saw/chisel into it and ruin it! but that is just awesome looking - and seems like it works great! Well done - earns my sub for SURE!
No verbal instructions, yet completely understandable. Well done. I liked the tempo of the video too, if I need, which I will, I can back up and pause when necessary. Again, Good JOB!
Great video for people who are perfect at guessing dimensions, angle cuts, and measurements! Not much of a totorial. I'm bitter because I want one lol great job on the vise man!
Just noticed - that scaffold screw cost $36.75.
It would be cheaper to buy a cheap bench vise from pricness auto and use the screw from that (or maybe just use the whole vise)

John is probably my favorite DIY'er. I love his straight to the point editing style, every one of his videos is both informative and entertaining.
Glanced over your channel, added over 2 dozen of your vids to my "watch later", The couple I have watched already, you work similar to the way i used to. My health took a dump on me so I have to just envy in awh.
Beautiful wood vise! quick speed video, no comment, no music, wonderful, beautiful video.
I really like these kinds of videos where we just watch someone build something out of nothing and it's silent except for the sounds of the tools. It's relaxing. A lot of people blast you with obnoxious, irritating montage music and I always turn those videos off. I can watch these because it's therapeutic in a way.
I like it too. Like porno without the music.
John, i like the way you manage things in your shop, with minimal tools, maximum jigs! You never cease to amaze me! Awesome job! Something to shoot for!
wow a lot of work and skill john well-done
take care Robbie
Outstanding... Dont know which one is better? Tools,done job,idea,details quality and precision,your knowlege or video editing. Just awesome!
if theres one thing ive learnt from watching woodworkers on youtube, you can never have too many clamps...
Very true, a lot of clamps always

The only thing I get from this video is that the guy is a fantastic woodworker. I didn't learn a thing other than that.
I'm sayin!!! I wonder if it ever occurs to some of these guys that we might want build it too, not just watch them build it.
its in the sketch up library or his website.
It did not feel like eleven minutes time. Fantastic tutorial, time flew by and it looked like everything was covered without a word said.
i watched this video and i didn't feel boring . amazing job keep it up
Even though I don't feel boring others have told me I am. . . . .

i can see he does this for the love, as by looking at the equipment i'm sure he could have bought a vice
This is how it should be like. Not those boring video logs.. This is actually fun to watch.
Give me your workshop

Brilliant share looks good thanks.
Give this guy credit .Its an awesome job and great for woodworking.
John what sort of screw was that?
A house jack?
Nice build.
You always amaze me.
Thanks Dave. It's a scaffold leveling leg.
This was impressive. It was not just functional, but also beautiful work.
Why didn't you use a push-stick the first time?
Do we have to call you "Stumpy"?
That was terrifying to watch.
Omg this was so addictive to watch... great job. I work with metals only, as a lathe operator, but this makes me wonna buy machinery for wood makin and do it at home as a hobby...
I hate shopping at Home Depot.
Thanks John. Love the wooden compass(trammel). Very handy indeed...
nice job but whatch out with the finger on that damn sawblade.. or we got an horror movie on youtube
wow, awesome John, the vise was a thing of beauty as well as being functional. You have a lot of talent and skill thats for sure.

Using a hand tap in a drill and pushing your work across the table saw with your hands. I am so triggered right now.
+Jarrett Guthrie I see ten fingers, and didn't the hole get tapped? What seems to be the problem?
Some people won't get over that "knowing what you're doing" equals "safety". Shame.
I'm fine with the table saw but yea the hand tap in a drill, I keep seeing people do this and it kinda drives me nuts (pun wasn't intended but I'll take it) I was always taught to do it by hand so you don't damage your threads or tap, 1/4 turn forward 1/2 turn back
I liked watching you with all your perfect machines and tools...I wish we had those things or someone who could show us......thank you
Man - i LOVE this vise John - i cant wait to build one like it. Im just nervous im going to sand/saw/chisel into it and ruin it! but that is just awesome looking - and seems like it works great! Well done - earns my sub for SURE!
you have lots of woodworking tricks, thanks for sharing, it makes me want to go into my shop and make something.
Thank you for not only showing us how to make an incredible wooden vise, but also for editing it down so it is watchable!
Thanks!
the intricacy of making this is truthfully astounding!
great work man keep it up
thanks for sharing your ideas with us John. You are so creative one.
This guy does not screw around, does he? No talk, no bullshit, I could not stop watching! I think I am going to go and sand something.
great to watch a DIY-video with natural sounds rather than irritating music.....
cheers!! :D
This may be my all-time favorite You Tube video, closely followed by your vertical chainsaw mill ones.
Very nice! I love that you use an internal metal screw so the vice is actually functional and durable.
No verbal instructions, yet completely understandable. Well done. I liked the tempo of the video too, if I need, which I will, I can back up and pause when necessary. Again, Good JOB!
That's really awesome! I never believe wood can make such complicate things like this.
John hiesz you are one talented dude. I really enjoy seeing the things that you come up with! This video is to cool, so i had to make it myself!
That's kind of dumb that you can't put a picture with your comment.
Смотрю видео и забыл что он делает, да и не важно, главное как он это делает! Просто шикарно!👌
That's some pretty nice looking clear wood.
An excellent production - both the vice and your video. Magnificent job!
Cooles Video Alter. Ich bin beeindruckt was Leute wie du so auf den Kasten haben. Daumen hoch.
Great job. I am a pen maker and I think I just have to make one of these to take to craft shows to do on the spot assembly work. You have a new fan.
Great video for people who are perfect at guessing dimensions, angle cuts, and measurements! Not much of a totorial. I'm bitter because I want one lol great job on the vise man!
Jordan Henderson read the description and download plans before critising and being rude.
Very good job. Congratulations from Spain.
Heavy duty vise, light work wise, I think this is an ultra-light work vise :) congratulations very successful.
super badass! incredible know-how and craftsmanship, nice work John!
Still waiting for your vice plan, can't wait to build one for myself. Thanks for your great video's, I love them......
This is so effing cool!
That's brilliant! Looks beautiful. Very skilled craftsman!
