Really cool. Couldn't you use that head as part of a shaving horse and then when you press with your feet it would separate the jaws against the seat plank? That's what i thought at first. Seems like then you could use one seat base and have two tools. Just a thought. I'm always trying to save space.
I'd most like to see the shape of the hole for the pinchers, I'm hoping the pencil lines on the outside are true to hole size. I need to make one of these.
Hello, what’s the purpose of that key through tenon?? I’m trying to understand why is it below the frame?.. do you have a sketch or a drawing of this somewhere?
It's literally to keep the working piece fixed to the body of the mule, that's all. The key adds pressure in an up and down motion, spreading the mortised piece of wood downwards onto the frame, but also locking it on. Though I could be entirely wrong and it's just for decoration
Exactly what I needed to see to get going on my Mule Build, Thank You Jarrod, from Ann Arbor, Mi.
Good one Jarrod. That really explains how things go together
This video is very informative. Thank you, Jarrod.
Thanks for the detailed video. Great engineering.
Thanks mate. Soo going to make one up!

Any chance you can post plans on your website?
Thanks for sharing Jarrod
taken from the Russians. called "horse". my great-grandfather used to make spoons on such a table.
Thanks for posting I never saw this kind of vice befor
From Russia with love.
Do you have any Intrest on making plans to build your spoon mule with all possible measurements... or would you make me one?
Well it is 2020 now for a few more days I hope you git your mess cleaned up.

They aren't very complicated.
I'm surprised I was guessing you had bent pieces for your jaws. The wider base makes sense now
Very Nice! Thanks for sharing.

The key is a wedge. You drive it in with a mallet and it locks the whole thing together.
Can you put together something like prints of yours act
Интересная конструкция. Спасибо!
Can you give some measurements please
Jarrod
You wanna make one to sell to me
You may want to draw up plans/sketch.
If you do with exact measurements as a duplicate to yours, I will buy them off you.
Will you consider my offer.
Tidy!
