Moxon was a bookbinder. Carpenters seem to have discovered bookbinding presses ten seconds ago and renamed them from “finishing press” “lying press” & “bench press” as called by bookbinders to the name of a bookmaker who happened to document these book binder’s presses. The two vises stood up in your photo are likely pictures of bookbinder’s finishing presses. If you were to look up bookbinding on youtube, you would discover that these twin- screw book presses are the basic vises in any bookmaking shop. And, yes, the finishing press is stored on end on the bench.
Well, the puzzle has me stymied - the fifth and last words. I'll have to get in a bit of workshop time and see where I dance and maybe that'll give me a clue. Cheers Rob.
I made a moxon vise years ago using pipe clamps. As the clamping means, this is so much more sophisticated and beautiful and useful. I don't know if I can reproduce it. I don't know if I have the skill but your plans and your video are magnificent
I might make this instead of the standard moon I was contemplating. One of the things that first drew me to your channel was your use of contrasting woods like I do. Especially padauk and pau Amarillo. 2 of my favorites.
Been thinking about a Moxon vise for awhile, but always something else going on it seems. If I ever get to it this would be the way to go. Would be great for laying out, lining up, pilot drilling and connecting 2 pieces of whatever together.
Very nice, Rob! I had an idea... instead of buying a drill bit and tap, you could cut two nuts (the same size the threads as the carriage bolts, obviously) in half and weld them to the steel plate. This would also give the carriage bolts more threads making it less likely to strip out. Just a thought.
Came looking for a comment like this but I was going to suggest epoxying a nut into 3/4 thick wood and then cut it like he did. Gives more threads like you said but also gives more material to grab when opening the clamping action

fascinating tid bit thx!!
Very cool,I did not know that. Makes sense now that you say it.
I like the quick release mechanism, never seen one like that. Excellent job.
This, if I follow your directions would be a positive addition to my workshop. I’m very grateful, you are an excellent teacher, thank you.
Thanks 😀
Such a great advancement on a traditional tool! I look forward to making one, and really appreciate that the plans are free!
Awesome work Rob! You're really one of the few woodworkers doing anything new on youtube these days!
I've not seen anything like this. Great ideas.
Love the design. I have a pipe clamp version, but I want to build this!
Really enjoyed seeing someone take metal working and apply it here. Thanks for the ideas!
Well, the puzzle has me stymied - the fifth and last words. I'll have to get in a bit of workshop time and see where I dance and maybe that'll give me a clue. Cheers Rob.
Very cool.
Nice mod. The base board of the upper vise, could be somewhat wider, more like a small table top. It would add support while clamping the top jaw.
Nice! I'm looking forward to making this.
Awesome, I'd love to see what you come up with!
Great take on moxon vise. Going to make one for myself…. Keep making cool stuff !!
Love to see it when you're done!

Thank You! And so glad I came across your channel. You are very talllanted and a great teacher 😊

Wow, that is a great idea to add jaws on the top, now I gotta change my plans for the vise I'm about to build :)

Thanks for this build. I can see incorperating this into my shop.
Both twin screw vids are bang on
Very nice, Rob!

I really enjoyed watching and especially liked the cleverness of the quick release system. Thanks for sharing.
Very clever idea, nicely done. Thanks for the inspiration and all the details and plans! Saturday safe.

Nice work.. I really like your quick-release concept. Where do I get that large tap and bit?
SIR, DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR YOUR ONE OF A KIND MARKING GUAGE ? I HAVE SEVERAL PICS BUT STILL CANT FOR SURE SEE HOW THE LED IS MOUNTED INTO THE BAR.
Inspirational
Nice!
Like it I will make this 😊
Nice!!!
Thanks Jeff!
nice build but think I will add a table to it 👍
I like that George. I would love to see what you come up with mail@makethingswithrob.com
WOW!
nice handles
I loved your exact explanations - the only problem I have is converting the inches and esp. the parts of inches into mm ! ⚒🪚🪛
Nice!
