Couple notes on the off chance you haven't already reached the same conclusions; Thrust bearing !!!! - Having that flat mating face on the end of the lead screw rubbing against that hard jaw will work, though you won't get much clamping force due to the friction. I recommend deepening the bore inside the moving jaw and turning a recessed land into the end of the lead screw so you can install a thrust bearing at the end of the lead screw. Even better, drill a hole and cap it off with a one-way interface fitting so you can keep it topped up with oil to extend the life of the whole vise ! Oil passages on the vice sliders!!!- I think it would definitely be worth either scraping the surfaces or putting some kind of gulley/ texture on the moving jaw/ vice slides interfaces so that, again, you can keep it lubed up and ensure that your homage passion project stands the test of time 😁 And for god sakes - buy a handheld electric bandsaw already 😂😂 hang it off the wall when you're not using it, this hacksaw business has got to stop ! I bet your arm looks like quagmires by now lmao! Love your videos man, keep on trucking ❤🤙

Very enjoyable, thanks. More!

Great to see the creative approach and dedication in a project like the vise built in the video. It reminds me of my own project where I created a vise using a screw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGnaaaOZlpytpcU. In both cases, you can see how focusing on the small details and making use of available materials can lead to functional and impressive results. The discussion on processes like heat treatment and maximizing material use is something I can completely relate to. Thanks for the inspiration

Next year will we see a band saw build?

Nice build from leftover metal. Can't wait for part 2. Happy Holidays.

Merry Xmas

Merry Christmas from Canader.

If I took my time could do aluminum

Why didn't you just make a square hole under your toolpost and also make square on your centre shaft it could be as persision as you need and a lot more beautiful.

I do not feel 12L14 is a not good example of cutting steel on the mini lathe simply because the addition of lead makes it softer ergo easier to machine than any steel without such addition.

Yopu are never supposed to use a 4 flte endmill for slotting. You are supposed to use a 2 flute so it doesnt recut chips. Thats why irs called a slotting end mil... Guess it doesnt matter in your case though because your not a real machinist.

my idea would be to have the magnifier drilled in at an angle. this way, the user doesn't have to take the magnifier out and replace it with the punch. i would have both the magnifier and punch interact with each other on a sort of "rocker arm" that could quickly move the magnifier out of the way when the punch is hit. this would be harder to make, but would drastically reduce the chances of this set from shifting while the magnifier is replaced with the punch. it would also be much faster.

can you make a video showing how to cut a slot in a lathe?

So heating up to cherry red normalises the metal, making it less stressed and more stable........... Does that work with girlfriends? Anyone know how much propane it would take to get a 60kg woman up to cherry red? 🤣

Perfect from Philippines

whoa, Artisan Makes has a body?!

If a tap doesn’t have a centre ground or punched in it you can put the tap in a mill or pillar drill chuck and start it with the handle of the chuck key in the chuck key hole. If you’re brave you can start it with the machine by turning the power off just as the tap touches the workpiece.

A beautifully constructed vice and a pleasure to watch. Your grandfather would be proud of you. Merry Christmas to you. 🎅👍🍷

Why don't you use a power feed on your milling machine?

Artisan handsaw everyting!

Cold riveting is actually best. Hot rivets are more inclined to work loose because the shank shrinks in the hole.

Wouldn’t it have been better to have countersunk the underside to accept more of the rivet shanks expanded by hammering? Then you could have flycut that surface too!

Maaaaate!!! You need saw of some type, so do I. You do well with a sweatsaw. Elbow bustin' bastards of thing's but they do the job. That's quite a nice little vice you have there. All the best for the silly season to you.

Somebody please get this guy a portaband.

If you're looking for a vice to hold pcbs you may look at the stickvise design. Should be easy to replicate with some scraps

OK now i know he is messing with us.... I was shur he was about to break out some sort of powered saw when he said wait....also this confirms my suspension that he is secretly training for a arm wrestling competition....

Pounding it with a hammer to finish busting it of other piece probably didn’t help keep it straight 😂

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!!

I am always amazed at the finish you get straight off the mill. Almost looks like it's been ground!

Always for get y'all's season are flipped in the southern hemisphere lol. Hard to imagine it being summer in December when I'm having to scrape my windshield every morning.

Just a tip, it could be your camera speed but IMO your speeds when chamfering and drilling with larger drills needs to be way slower, itll stop the chatter and give your more control. Brilliant Vice cobba.

That bow would have been formed when you were hammering it off the original block.

Shows how he hammered that piece of the bigger piece of steel - oh yeah the bow in the steel is definitely 100% from the cold rolling process XD

The bend in the steel could be due to the special percussive separation it went through.

Very nice project. Well done as always. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!🎄

Someone PLEASE gift this man a band saw!

I like that project, I want to make one , I have a good size mill & lathe but I want it Precision . I don’t have a Surface grinder but I’ll try to get it close . I need one to put in my 6in mill vice for angles on small parts

Pretty sure that "warp" was caused from the barbaric manner it was removed from the parent material.. but ok.

Mate you need a saw so bad jeez!

⭐🙂👍

Just an idea - wouldn't it be better if the moving jaw was "reversed"? Meaning the mechanism would be the same, but the thiner clamping piece would be on the back so it would do the "pulling" instead. That would make it less prone to bowing/stressing and should provide much better clamping situation? Anyway great vid and all the best to the new year - take care & don't stick you fingers in the running machinery 😎

great video, have a fab Christmas and new year

Dear, Santa Aus, Please give Artisan Makes a bandsaw for Christmas. He's been nice this year.

The beating it off with a hammer might also have something to do with it…

Little Bunnings cast iron vise is surprisingly good with a little TLC. First one I ever owned. bit of a clean up and some soft jaw attachments. Mine came quite parallel. Solid place to mount it did me for quite a while before I got a proper bench.

You bent that separating it

3:02 Nope! you used a chisel to finish the cut on the previous video and you bent it that way, i was screaming at the screen when i saw you do that xD the fact that it straightened after normalizing further proves this, if the bend was a result of releasing stress you would have to "add" stress to bend it back

How's your finger doing.

Mate. I am hoping Santa brings you an LPG/Oxy set so you can cut and hot rivet stuff. The advantage of hot riveting the shaft expands to the hole size. May your crissy be a happy and bushfire free.

awesome work as always
