You built that tailvise> Very nice precise heavy timber working. Perfect work for the heavy bench and vise you have, as well as putting together a simple picture frame. Thanks
Nice I have watched these videos so many times but I still don’t get the making of the tail vice . Do you have plans or something I can purchase or look at to make mine . Thanks
Hi, I am in the works of posting a new video in January with an update on my workbench and am considering making some plans available for it. If you haven't subscribed already, please do to get notified when that video goes up in January!
First of all, this is amazing! An all wooden tail vise is a joy to a woodworkers hearth! I hope you read this. I can imagine some of the joints/fittings you made to get to this vise, but, as a woodworker scatching his perfect bench for more than a year now, I must ask. Have you based your bencn in some other design? Can you tell us some references? It would be awsome. Congratulations on your work, I hope I can achive this level some day.
Thank you for the kind words. The bench is based off both the Roubo and Scandinavian bench designs which are easily enough found across the internet. Chris Schwarz has done a lot of work writing about various bench designs, I would recommend his work.
Enjoyed your video. Finishing my own bench tail vise at the moment. The heavy steel threaded rod presents a challenge at full extension. I like the wood screw you use but the half flange retainer seems to put all the force on a small area. Is this the case? I have made my tail vice 30 inches long to separate the thread support from the front rail support at full extension (13") but it still drops 1/8" due to the slop in the threaded rod (eastern block engineering). The first 6 inches of travel there is no droop which is most of its use, entirely due to the large size of the vise. What is the extension of your vise? My bench is designed to build up to door size projects and can clamp just over 86 inches between dogs. Interestingly I tried it before adding the back rail and found no wracking of the vice, no extra guidance is required. The back rail tunes the tilt of the vise away from or towards the bench, as such keeping it well back is a good idea but the rail need not be as beefy as the front rail it's function is quite delicate really. It is good to see a non captured vise as the trend seems to be for expensive hardware and a vise limited by the bench. This limits the functionality of the bench unless you make the whole bench larger.
Looks great! It´s only very faint, but I´m sure I can hear the mendelssohn violin concerto playing in the background at the end of the video- are you a fan of classical music?
beautifuly made video! very descriptive, very high quality work. My inly critique would be that i would have made the 2" screw 2.5". It looks a little undersize for the massive works it meant to suport. but if inwas to copy a tailvise construction, its this video inwould use. awwsome!
I'm glad to hear you found the video informative! I have a new video coming in January that is an update about the workbench where I will talk about how my experiences over the past 12 years with the bench have been. I can say that I haven't found any issue with the 2" screw being undersized, but I can't say a big screw wouldn't be cool, haha.
My apologies for the late response, but I will be posting a video in January updating you all on how the bench has performed over the past 12 years and I have been considering putting out plans for it as well. If you are still interested, stay tuned for that video coming out.
please if you can send me the drawings and profiles for the wood tailvise,cos I have seen your video many times but I need the begining before cutting the pieces in parts. or the profiles and also the large wood screw. thank you very much, interesting your video by alex.
Great Video! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Antonello Astonishing Woodwork Takeover (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend at very last produced the most beatiful woodwork piece of art with it.
Lovely Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Antonello Astonishing Woodwork Takeover (search on google)? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam after many years completed the most exceptional woodwork project with it.
dud i've been loking for exactly this explanation for over a year. thanx a lot for this video
You're welcome, and thanks for sharing!
Well done!
Great to see someone building a traditional workbench.

Lucky dog, to have such a beautiful bench, wonderful craftsmanship, if I may add.

Awesome. Great job! I was looking to make a tail vice, but now I just feel like a dummy, lol. You, Sir, do excellent work.
I am well impressed mate, I know the sklls you have don't come easily

Hi, do you have drawn plans for this vice?

Хороший добротный верстак! Привет из России)
Thank you, and greetings from Canada!

were do i get plans for that tail vise i like how the screw is hidden

Where can I get hold of plan for this vise
@JanForest I am not sure what is playing in the background, hard to hear, but I do like classical music.
Excellent work my friend.
Whoa. Beautiful!
Thank you very much my friend, you are wonderful
To a joiner this is ..... beautiful ...music.
Can I get metric tail-vice drawing/plans through you?
that's really impressive.
great job, thanks!
please if you can send me the drawings and profiles for the wood tailvise,cos I have seen your video many times but I need the begining before cutting the pieces in parts. or the profiles and also the large wood screw. thank you very much, interesting your video by alex.
I currently do not have any plans drawn or written out.
WoWW!!!
wow!
