    This is one of the best ideas I have seen in a while. This is a quick, easy, versatile, and affordable solution especially for those who are not primarily woodworkers and don't need to invest in a proper carpenters vise.

    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.

    Great idea. It would be easy to mount a second unit lower down to add more clamping pressure on long boards held vertically; might also stabilize the workbench itself.

  • @tomfull6637
    @tomfull6637 2 года назад +1

    2.0 development tip: Make a slot on the inside too!
    Insert the clamps with the stem inwards.
    Now they’re obstructing you.
    2.1: instead of long handle to screw the clamp tight, have a fixed stop on the inside (= saw off the handle) and now drill a hole on the outer default fixed bracket and put an eccentric handle there. This will squeeze the part much quicker than screwing a handle and doesn’t take so much space. Simplest way is to slaughter two clamps and move the fixed brackets over to those two for the bench vise.

    I don't think it replaces a carpenters vice, but in conjunction its a great idea. Especially when you're working with sheet goods that don't particularly like staying put when held in a vice. You could even use some cheap quick grip clamps

      @@franklloydwrong6997 Yeah I would definitely only use this with short clamps and I would add something at the end of the clamps (foam or leather or whatever) because I would also stab myself with this. But when you're not using it it's not an issue so I think it's still a decent cheap/easy alternative to a Moxon vise.
