Amazing! And the red and black finish it off SO nicely! Just wonderful to see you make such a piece first with your brain and then your hands. My grandfather did this, he built machines big and small, even cars. He built the cottage my Grandmother and he spent summers at... Happy to see the same can do attitude and example here :)
Your grandfather must be (or have been) quite the craftsman. I've tried to be that all my life, inspired by my father, but I'm not there yet despite lots of practice. I really admire anyone who can build in different media and master the different materials. If he is still alive please tell him I respect his skills and thank you for sharing his achievements with the wider world.
Very nice. I doubt I'll ever have a need for a "knife vise" but on the farm you never know when improvising will come in handy. Your design is quite practical.
I'm now making a few knives and remembered you had what looks like a good setup. First saw this when it was new video and liked it but made due without but now time to build it. Going make it to fit lawnmower blades also Thanks Gary as I said before like your ingenuity and design to function. Thanks Gary
Looks good Gary! I'll make one for my work. I've made five of the split crosses with Gem stones in the center like you showed me. They turned out great! Thanks again for showing me how. Take care and God bless you and your family! Hope you have a great Christmas!!!
Great video thanks for the grand Idea on how to make a knife vise it sure will come in handy once I make it... I'll add it to my list of must do things... LOL
Cool knife vice Think I would add a small piece of metal where each lower jaw screw is so it keeps the inner tube in alignment with the outer tube when the adjusting knobs are loose other than that looks like a great specialty vice I wonder if may be a piece of 1”X 1” on the base to put it in a vice mounted on a table to hold it then put it away when not in use Knife vice 2.0
Any plans to start making up kits (like with the smithing magician/guillotine tool)? I think this looks to be a real winner. Maybe you could stick a scrap piece of bar in it, and hook a scale though a hole in the bar; just to see how much clamp force it has. Merry Christmas to you, the missus, and the dog.
In the rotation of the rasp.. remember that all engineering ideas & gadgets will have minor imperfections.. overall a bloody great idea.. well done ! 😎🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👍👍
I really like the design Gary, I believe I have my next project. I made one years ago using the tubing from an old satellite dish, I've used it many times over the years but it's thinner material. Thanks for sharing your design. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Just a design tweak suggestion, instead of the flat bar make the upright a tube inside a tube with a locking knob and weld that to your base plate and you will give your knife vice a very handy second pivot function 😉
I already ruled that feature out as a waste of effort. It only enables you to rotate 360 degrees which can be done just as easily by unclamping from the bench. Less work and materials in the build.
Very nice build and video. I'm like the others that say they've been meaning to build one of these lol. I like the horizontal pass through you put in. I know you probably wont use it enough to try to figure it out, but I find my self wondering if there is a way to get it to where the top jaw would move up and down with the adjustments. Seems like a small knuckle would work, I'll have to think on that, or see if anyone has figured it out. Happy New Year as well.
Maybe instead of flat bar leg you could use telescopic round tubes on the very front of base plate. This would allow you to swivel horizontally as well as eliminating the vertical obstruction of the base plate to working item when pivoting horizontally 360deg. Good job and something I'd never thought of building. Saved, subscribed and liked. Thank you.
great job gary! and scraps! ha! i´m making one, been putting on hold this tool for too dang long ;D thanks for sharing man and have a merry xmas or ibb :D take care. peter.
I see so many comments saying what they would do or what you should have done. What you should do is just mail that Bad Boy straight to ME. I think it is awesome and would be very versatile in the shop. Well done and well thought out. 👍 and Subscribed!
If you'd add an articulation on the post, so you can tilt it back, this would make an excellent engraving vise. I mean, for a knife or a sword/short sword, this would be splendicular. :D
great little tool, i have seen some one have a large square tube welded / bolted to their bench like a big hardy hole so they can drop all sorts of different tools like this into it that they dont use all the time, just thought that would suit this application for you and your managere of little things. probably better to move the mount to the front of the base plate to avoid rotation interference for longer bladesmiths. Happy xmas Gary
The only thing i can tell you is i'm using 0.8 wire, other than that I do everything else by feel as i don't have any gauges on my old welder just knobs from 1-4 and fine tuning from 1-6 and wire speed is just 1-7!
@@thijs3514 I just google what i'm looking for then take the best bits from lots of other designs and combine them into something else! I have to do that as I have no imagination!
Gary Huston To bad you cannot take constructive criticism! If one sees where something will work better is the mark of betterment! I am a woodworker and many times after making the first item from my plans I discovered a better way to build I will change the design! Are you happy with work that could be better, you are not a craftsman!!!
Conrad DuBois I never said I was a craftsman, I designed it to do what I needed no more no less. If you mess up on your first one you didn’t put enough thought into it in the first place. Like I said , you do what you want, I got what I wanted.
You’re not getting it are you. Think about assembling it, if both nuts are on the outside it would not be possible to slide it into the outer tube. It’s very simple. 😂
very nice! simple and foolproof.
Very versatile, nice. Have a good Christmas Gary.
Nice design

Nice to see quality welding. Great video as usual.
Great clamp. I like the design.
Great bit of work Gary!
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays. Wish you well.
Merry Christmas Gary, thank you for all the great videos. Best wishes for you and yours.
Merry Christmas Gary! Very nice
love the tapping through the nut idea. That is something simple I never thought out. It has many uses. Thanks for the idea!

Cool, thanks
Really nice build. Looks like it has potential as a general filing vise too
Great job there Gary.
Next mission for me - go rooting about for two pieces of complimentary pipe.
Very nice build clean and easy! Well done sir. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Excellent! Happy Christmas...
Excellent job on holder. Very good video and narration. Thanks Buddy.
That golf ball file handle is GENIUS!
Beautiful knife vise. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Cheers buddy, will be using this design. Will have to watch it again to get the pipe sizes
The sizes aren't really important as long as one fits inside the other.
Nice build. Merry Christmas!
Nice. You dang good work. . That would be great for lawn mower blades to.
Nice one!

Merry Christmas! Wonderful weldings, Sir!
Fantastic work.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gary , you and your family have a great Christmas and happy new year,look forward to your RUclips videos in 2020
Quality knife vice Gary, great job on building it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Wayne
Well done sir a nice fixture
Well done. thank you.
Never seen a lnife vice before really like the video nice job sir!!!

I love your videos, proper ‘meat and potatoes’ projects.
Seasons greetings to you and yours
Very nice Gary, i feel another project coming on.
Merry Christmas from Michigan! This is a great knife vice..... My next on will be like yours. I like the idea of using steel a rubber instead of wood.
Merry (Happy) Christmas Gary!!!!
You have to love it when you measure in an English distance to drill a metric hole.
Nice work hello from Las Vegas Nevada USA I am retired millwright welder

@@garyhuston yeah good point, i wanted mine bolted to bench though so found it pretty helpful
You should put a patent on that invention,very nice bit of kit, happy merry christmas to you and yours.
Unfortunately it's a very common design, loads of them of similar construction out there!
Nice. Ribbed rubber was a nice touch
Thanks 👍
Merry Christmas Gary and a happy and safe New Year.
Thanks, hope you have a good one.

Yes, I did try and figure a way to fix it but like you say, I probably won’t use it enough so I didn’t spend much time on it.
Genius, good show.
GREAT JOB GARY -- MERRY CHRISTMAS

I can’t see an angle that you could get with that that you can’t get already. Please explain.
Add rotation angle marking too. then you know exactly how many degree the knife edge is turned for sharpening.
Very nice and clean job weldon from Israel
Brilliant use of scrap metal. Looking forward to you making a knife and using your tool. Happy New Year mate.

Great idea! I might just do that..
Very entertaining indeed.
Nice job! Great commentary and Merry Christmas. I hope someone bought you some gloves! Cheers.
Don Wold thanks, but no gloves, I don’t really like them to be honest!
Good job.was wanting to see how much is the cost of the parts to make one ? Thanks very good job.
A lot depends on wether you have any of the parts laying around your shop or if you have to go buy them!
Super bravoo
Nonsense Gary, precision as needed to the degree required, not fooling us you are. Compliments of the season to you and yours.
great build may i ask the length of both pipes used to make this vise thank you or make them any length ?
I don’t remember but it doesn’t matter, make them any length you like.
Smart looking welds Gary, what dia wire/voltage/wire feed please.
The only thing i can tell you is i'm using 0.8 wire, other than that I do everything else by feel as i don't have any gauges on my old welder just knobs from 1-4 and fine tuning from 1-6 and wire speed is just 1-7!
Gary Huston Cheers for the reply Gary when I saw the video, I thought you were using your new welding machine (Parweld?)
@@stevesilverwood9363 No, I haven't even plugged that one in yet, I don't know why I bought it only that it was a bargain!

Nice vise What size pipe did you use? thanks
I don’t remember off hand but I think it was 3 ½” and 3”
thanks@@garyhuston

Very well made and beautiful object... Why do you weld one nut on the outside and one on the inside?
If I put the back one on the outside I wouldn’t be able to get it into the tube.
@@garyhuston Okay, but why one inside and one outside? Why not the 2 outside for example?
You’re not getting it are you. Think about assembling it, if both nuts are on the outside it would not be possible to slide it into the outer tube. It’s very simple. 😂
