This homemade leg vice is the latest addition to my workbench. I apologise upfront for the length and the speed of the video. It was a struggle to fit everything in, so it's a little fast in places. Faster than normal - it's always fast ;) .
The vice turned out amazing - I am really chuffed with it. Thanks to the other guys here on RUclips who have already done this with the scaffold screw and passed on that knowledge - it worked extremely well. I saw Jay Bates use this screw and he got the idea from Dema's Workshop (thanks guys). I decided on adding the St Peters cross as I wanted a pinless vice - I like what Jay Bates has done with a wedge and thought about that system but I'm glad I went with the cross.
The wheel turned out great too - I wracked my brains thinking of what to use, I thought about making one out of wood and inserting lead shot for added weight and I almost used the angle adjustment wheel off my tablesaw which I would have replaced with a homemade one. My mate dropped off these old grinder discs about a year or so ago and asked if they were any good to me? I took them because I couldn't resist even though I had no idea what I would do with them - they were perfect for the vice wheel.
The workbench is now a very usable bench but I may still add to it - watch this space!
I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I realize this video is ancient, in youtube terms, but I just watched it for the first time and must say that the grinder discs wheel is a thing of beauty. Well done, as per-usual, Mr Pask! Its a treat to watch you build tools.
Thanks very much Beau! :)
This is exactly what I was looking for in a leg vice for my table design! Perfect!
I am in awe - so many different skills and processes in that build, and a great result at the end.
I watch a lot of woodworkers on RUclips. I've only watched two of your videos and you're already one of my new favorites to watch. Love your video style and the quality of craftsmanship. Keep it up!!!
Thank you very much Mike! :)
same here man ^^

I was totally confused about the old grinder wheels until the very point you installed the handle. Bravo!
Absolutely brilliant! I really enjoyed watching it from the first video. Great work!
Wow, I really like that workbench! This vice is awesome!
That what I call a real DIY. Most videos out there are AIY (assemble it yourself) where they just put thing together. Well done mate!
Thank you Alex! :)
Now that's a man that knows how to work with tools. Great job!
Good lord that's a beautiful bench. I'm from the US, so seeing figured woods like that used is not common. Also, you gave me a great idea for my own leg vise. I've got an old Walnut(I think) steering wheel from a 60s Mustang that I think will do quite nicely.Thanks for the ideas!
Excellent video. I subbed, Awesome insight on how the hell these things actually work. I was curious on where you were going from the beginning but this is amazing. Love the creativity. Great job !
Thank you very much John! :)
I really really loved how you used those old grinding disk!! they came out great!!!
Thanks - I'm very pleased with how they turned out too! :)
Engineer first, maker second. The ingenuity that goes into your designs is so impressive.
Admire your skills and inventive spirit . Re-using available material around you is fantastic and shows imagination .
That's one big kazoo! Great work as always! Obsessed with your videos.
Great work Pask! Great video on a process (making your own St. Peters Cross) that nobody else has seemed to cover and show so well. IMO yours is the best video on the topic. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)
An oldie, but a goodie. Nice job as always
Superb work! The "wheel" is a clever idea. Loved it.
Wow, This is likely the best video on this that I have seen. I have to build a leg vise and this is on it's own level man...Great Job..
Well, Mr. Paskin, you have outdone yourself this time. I am pleased.
Thank you very much! :)
Tolles Video. Der Mann weiß wirklich was er macht. Respekt. Hab viel gelernt. Danke.
Now, thanks to you, the companies will start making the grinder discs from un-weldable materials! Thanks sir. Thanks.
Haha - No worries! :)
what a nice piece of work makes me want to copy it ….and the wood you selected is beautiful thanks for the video
That is so well built. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us.
No worries Richard!
Very creative. Absolutely love the hand wheel. Well Done !
Thank you Fernando! Looks like the hand wheel is getting good thumbs up! :)
Nice idea of wheels
Beautiful and smart! Thanks for the upload
You are a master!! Love to see your videos!!!
This is incredible. Fantastic video, loving your projects!
Thank you! :)
Great job pask!!! I've been mulling over how I was gonna build my leg vise and well...let me just say I don't have to mull very much more!😁 great work and thank you!!
No worries - I'm glad it helped you! :)
I really like how you work out problems and create. Nice work
Mr Pask, you are so creative. Thanks for putting your videos out in the world. These are the best.
Thank you very much Jesse! :)
Very inspiring video. The length didn't bother me at all because if your the kind of guy that knows how to use the tools and understands what your doing the speed skips that long drawn out explanations that some people need to understand what your doing. So for that reason I really enjoyed every part of your video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tony! :)
Dear John Heisz, Matthias Wandel and Pask Makes,
For quite a long time I follow your excellent contributions to woodworking and I am still learning. I am fascinated by the simplicity and properties of a leg vice. The one thing that is problematic is the pin that is necessary to operate it. Now I know there are several solutions to make a ‘pinless’ Leg Vice, but it came to my mind to automate/mechanise a pinless design. Now I am not able to do it myself so I thought that it might a nice subject for you to put your teeth in. The idea is as follows. Instead of a pin we take an linear actuator (Electric, Hydraulic or Pneumatic) tot regulate the vertical outlining. Then we need one or two electronic waterpasses to sense the vertical position of the leg and by adding a controller to actuate the actuator you have an automated pinless Leg Vice. Who of you is up to the challenge? Arie van den Ende NL
Love all your videos, Neil. I also live in Queensland and always look forward to Australian videos.
Thanks very much Sam! :)
Always great, quality of presentation, as well as content. Thanks...
Love it I need to get some of these old grinding disc you made this from thumbs up my friend
That's beautiful. Love the wood. Love the wheel.
Thank you Pete! :)
That’s just plain old awesome. Nice work again. 😀
This guy has advanced and wide ranged skill sets. Impressive!
Great build, love that scraper holder, genius!
Thanks! Yes, the scraper holder works great :)
Brilliant build Neil and a fantastic video.
I have my wife help me with the heavy lifting too :) That chop is beautiful!!!
Oh man, the figuring in that wood makes my heart skip a beat... Thanks for sharing this!
No worries! :)
Excellent. And that wood is beautiful!
Have been thinking about a new bench and leg vise/vice. Great job, keep them coming!
Thank you David! :)
truly superb just watched all your bench videos fantastic work !! Subscribed please keep them coming
Thank you very much Justin! :)
Incredible bench and equally impressive vise! Nice board selection for the jaw! You are very well-rounded in your skills!
Thank you very much Michael! :)
well done sir ..most creative..love the ingenuity with the hand wheel.
Thank you Grant - glad you like it! :)
I absolutely love your videos. they keep getting better and better. live the upcycling and reclaimed work you're doing
Thank you very much Phil! btw thanks for the shoutout on your podcast - I enjoyed it. :)
Pask Makes my pleasure. keep up the great work!
UBER cool vice. Love the round wheel from grinder discs, looks very retro!
Thank you! I thought the wheel was cool but wasn't sure what others would think - 'hey bud you got grinder discs on your vice!' lol, but it looks like everyone's digging it. :)
the wheel looks AWESOME and is ingenious use of otherwise scrap parts.
@@anthonythibodeau81 I don't understand why they don't have a discount built in, on the new ones, as a thank you for returning the old disks to be reused. Sure, you could pay more without the "core charge" return, but the number of these that likely end up in landfills all over the world must be staggering. Society as a whole is so wasteful. Glad to see craftsmen like this reusing materials instead of throwing them away. We recycle soda cans and beer bottles, why not tool bases?
From Kentucky. I have watched all your videos and concluded that you are one very talented man. I liked them all.
Thank you very much Jim from Kentucky! :)
Well done Cobber. Very interesting technique to get a pinless leg vice. Cheers, GG
Thanks Gary! :)
Awesome job, for sec there thought it was some aftermarket pulley. Workbench turning into piece of art!
Thank you! :)
Now that kicks ass!! Love it!
Very creative and well done!
I like that you give everything and honest strength test
Fine work. Nothing better than a project that uses all your tools and skills.
Thank you! :)
Amazing. Subscribed and now I need to go watch all your other bench videos :)
Thank you James! :)
Awesome! I like your creative and inventive spirit. Very good video!
Thank you! :)
Fantastic as always! Love how you get everything done from scratch with great end results :)
Thank you Cris! Glad you enjoyed it :)
just found a new favorite channel, love your work!
Great to hear! Thank you! :)
Excellent. The wheel is ingenious. Note to self though...Watch where you shoot the brads while building if thinking about vices or anything requiring more machining. Mortising laminated plywood by hand is a drag.
3:47 - fantastic shot :) seriously awesome build! love the graphics! a pleasure to watch :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Awesome leg vice great work!
Wonderful video and job, I love that wheel!
Simple , work well , I like it .
ingenious and good as always
you just getting better in each vlog.. bravo dud really great stuff... real education
Thank you - great to hear the feedback! :)
Excellent piece of work!
Fantastic video! Love how you solved the problem of the sideways wobble.
Thank you Bruce! That certainly got rid of the majority of it and it's perfectly fine as is but I'm going to try and eliminate the rest. :)
As I'm watching I constantly wonder, what the heck is he doing. Then suddenly I'm amazed at your creativity beyond anything I would have thought of.
Great build. Love the whole project!
Thank you Greg! :)
FYI I'm switching to wood from metal, and one of the tools that has helped out quite a lot for metalworking is a good quality hand-held jig saw. It makes relatively short work of things like those collar washers... and keeps you from using the angle grinder. (The angle grinder was the most dangerous thing in my shop until I got my table saw... it has been responsible for over a dozen sutures over the years, and I try not to use it whenever possible.)
Absolutely stellar work on the vise. I've gone looking, and consider this the best how-to on a cross leg vise on YT.
Thank you very much! I haven't used my jigsaw much with metal but I have to say I think the angle grinder is a great versatile tool - the only real downside is it is too noisy! :)
Great project. Very well done.
Love your work mate
you are awesome... mix of old school woodworking with high tech skills lol ... nice and superb vise
You are a PRO!! I like your videos.
Just found your channel!
I am delighted !!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you! :)
The old grinder wheels as a wheel was quite clever I think! :-)
Yes but only if you have some :)
Plus it looks so good.
I suppose you could find a pulley of some sort laying around, at a scrap yard, etc...
Your channel is fast becoming one of my favorites. Love the build. Your skill with welding and steel makes me jealous. Your ingenuity of using things on hand is awesome. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying it! :)
The vice is great man. I think I love the wheel look the most
Thank you Chris! The wheel was favourite part too! :)
dude!!!! i love your videos. great explaination and so well recorded. f
greetings from Argentina
Thank you! :)
absolutely fantastic!!! 👌👌👌
thanks to make videos like this
Thank you! :)
Dude, you showed so many ideas in one short video! Very cool. Nice choice of wood, too.
No worries! :)
That is quite simply, fantastic.
I must say, you have great ideas!
Phanthasthix!! As soon as I got all those expensive machine shop rigs snd learn how to use them it surely will be my near next DIY project :+)
Nice work, very clever.
Thanks again for the great video ... 👍
Thanks for sharing this with you
Beautiful!
Very good!
Damn, this was amazing!
Loving it!
That's a neat job 👍🏻
Great Job!
Brilliant work!
Thank you Vasily! :)
Awesome!!! Thanks for the ideas!
No worries! :)
Really cool, I need a vice for my bench when I make some adjustments, Wouldnt be able to have something like this but has inspired me to make my own vice instead of buying one.
We will see. May be more trouble then its worth but awesome video.
