036 Workbench upgrade - quiet vise handles

[@StavrosGakos]

Since i built my workbench vises i used two temporary handles for them. In today's episode it's time to make two another handles and fit them to the workbench. Preety simply project. As the bonus - they will be quiet handles ;) I decided to make some WORKBECH UPGRADE serie of videos wich i'll be upload for time to time. I hope it will be nice change for you :) BTW. Forgive me my blunt woodturning chisels - i haven't build my sharpening station yet. If you have any questions or sugestions just write a comment. Big thanks for my patrons! Andrew Dawson Joshua Lucas Ross Tomažin Javier Quintana Rene Polak Luboš Šulc Thank you!

Cannot believe I just now discovered your channel. Don't know which is more enjoyable- your woodcraft or video making style. Well, woodcraft. It is to wood working what flying is to jumping, speedskating to slipping, sprinting to crawling. Thanks for documenting it because to witness the magic is a higher privilege than the world deserves. Thanks!

[@StavrosGakos]

You're welcome David ;)

Excellent work! It's the little things that make everyday working more of a pleasure and less annoying! 👍

[@emilunderbjerg]

so happy that you've started to make videos again!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks Emil!

Hey Tom, thank you :)

[@picchiogiulietta]

Really beautiful the jobs you do ... you can see all the passion you put in and the experience you have. A pleasure to see your projects

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you :)

[@th34lch3m1st]

If you have to build some shop furnitures (tool cabinets, lumber rack, drill press table, sharpening station, etc etc) I would be very pleased to see your works.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

I’ve seen similar done with a tension wire. Much like a bench dog tension wire. I miss the tool making videos. Thanks!

[@baddoopey]

Good to see you're "back"!!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you :)

[@pmewUK]

Nice work fella, absolutely love your videos I'm glad you're making them again.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks again :)

[@clappercl]

Good ideas, I'll have to make some new (quiet) handles for my bench now!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks Craig :)

[@rontocknell3592]

Ah yes! Noisy vise handles! The bane of my life. I'm fine with my lathe and circular saw and router and angle grinder and bench grinder and I can file sheet metal and hammer in nails, beat copper into shape and all that with no problem. But those bloody vise handles are deafening! It's a wonder that the neighbours haven't complained. I've tried playing loud heavy metal to drown out the sound of those infernal vise handles but I can still hear them. This could be just the solution I'm looking for.

[@StavrosGakos]

Nice upgrade.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks Troy!

[@awldune]

A nice little "quality of life" upgrade

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you!

[@ErikBongers]

Genius idea. Will add some leather to my vise handle as well! (It now has stops made of particle board. Really.) But...what I can't wrap my head around: you make these beautiful planes and yet you use a Frankenstein screwdriver that looks like it has been decomposing since the middle ages. Quite funny :) ( I can imagine and upcoming restauration video where you gold plate it)

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you! I showed that screwdriver to make appetite for restoration video ;)

[@fugenfuller-rp1fu]

I also made the diameter precisely and simply drilled two dowels near the end of the handle. But not the ugly version. The dowels are only as long as needed and just a tiny bit longer than the diameter. Ok, it doesn't has a leather feature but it is simple and looks good.

[@fletchro789]

You're looking just like Ashley Harwood at the lathe!😅

[@robzzr5259]

ciekawy pomysł z tą skórą, jak zawsze dobrze się oglądało:)

[@StavrosGakos]

Dzięki stary!

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Like everyone else. Welcome back!! 👴🏻🇦🇺

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Mark :) thank you

[@kraftzion]

I used a piece of pipe filled with lead and a couple of o rings. Unless it is in the way the handle stays centered. Between the pipe and the lead it has enough inertia that I can flick it open and flick it shut.

[@jonsparks6205]

Beautiful work - thanks. I am about to make a bench and really like the look and functionality of your bench. Do you have a video or details about the bench itself?

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks, sorry i don't have it, only my tail vise video. Cheers!

[@oneshotme]

Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@mikederby9055]

Its good to have you back. I like the leather pad idea. Is this your new shop? I look forward to a tour.

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Mike! Yes, it is my new shop. Regards :)

[@marcingonsievski9395]

Fajne. Ja dałem gumowe nakładki do nóg krzeseł itp., może nie tak estetycznie ale praktycznie;) pozdrowionka

Thank you!

[@congruewoodworks1474]

nice one!

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks mate!

[@Krzysiek106]

Przesuń trochę do przodu żabę w tym strugu , podciągnij odchylacz do góry tak aby szpara na ustach była w okolicach 0,5mm , a nie będziesz musiał się gimnastykować tak z planowaniem takich krótkich kawałków. Tej długości kawałki drewna planuję bez problemu "4- ką" ze szparą na ustach właśnie w okolicach 0,5 - 0,7 mm. Pozdrawiam. Fajny warsztacik będziesz miał teraz.

[@StavrosGakos]

Cześć Krzysiek! To równiak więc wąskie usta nie są mu potrzebne, a odchylak jest odsunięty. Używam go głównie na wspornicy dlatego ma prostą krawędź tnącą. Przy takich pracach jak ta to nie pomaga (nóż powinienieć lekki łuk) ale kto powiedział, że praca równiakiem jest lekka i przyjemna ;) dzięki!

[@cyklop_1435]

ooo you back, news of the day ;-)

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you :)

[@williamreymond2669]

Nice, why hasn't it always been done this way?

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks!

[@John8g]

Nice fix. Why would you plane the blank down before turning it? Your roughing gouge would make short work of a square blank and save you a whole operation.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks! You have right but piece of wood was small and i was affraid to make it too thin. When i make it square and a little bit oversized i was sure i can get right diameters of the wooden rod. That option makes less mess also :) Regards!

[@StavrosGakos]

Great! Thank you :)

[@scottanderson2581]

Love your videos Think I am an old traditional joiner in a slightly younger body Bit disappointed you didn’t burnish the leather, not that it’s needed that and I was expecting the dowel to have minimal ( maybe a 1/16” ) movement once fitted. Still nice work. Just a question do you have a favourite tool? Maybe a plane? Or any other tool? That’s love your channel.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you, i have a lot of favourite tools ;) Regards!

[@scottanderson2581]

Personally I bought an Issac Greaves oval bolster mortice chisel, possibly dated 1800s. Handle and blade are in great nick. Love using it to cut mortices, have now bought some Mathieson chisels dated around 1850s, being from Glasgow love Mathieson tools. Pig sticker is still my favourite. There is something about handmade old tools, they have a totally different feel to them.

[@cudak84]

fajny upgrade:)

[@StavrosGakos]

Dzięki Paweł!

[@kriskris25151]

Mam pytanie czy najlepiej zabezpieczyć strugi muszę się wreszcie za nie zabrać. Mam pokost lniany i olej lniany co będzie lepsze?

[@StavrosGakos]

Osobiście stosuję pokost i nie korciło mnie żeby spróbować oleju lnianego. Po nałożeniu jednej warstwy nakładam szelak lub olej osmo 3032.

[@kriskris25151]

@@StavrosGakos Właśnie oglądałem 051 jak odnawiałeś strug i masz tam pokost który ją używam. Pozdrawiam
