[@meikgeik]

Did the 1 wall workshop ever get made? The biggest thing holding me back right now is space. I only have my garage, and I can't justify tools like a planer, jointer, etc due to space.

[@bochista]

Were these plans ever posted? I looked for the plans, starting with the section of the website called, "Plans > Shop Projects," but I couldn't find it.

[@NiallOCallaghan]

Looking forward to seeing the one wall bench video! If it's not until next year, that is a serious tease!

[@PeteSudlow]

I used that exact veneer screw several years ago to make the wagon vise when I made Norm's workbench. It's been great for everything I've thrown at it! Great build, James!

[@jacohop]

I’m excited for those 1 wall plans. Looks great and tidy!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

I look forward to getting the plans for the wagon vise when they're available! Looks like a great addition to any shop!!!

[@chetbowman6714]

Really looking forward to seeing plans for the one wall workbench something I’m very interested in building and don’t have a lot of space. Great video great idea hopefully be able to incorporate it

[@donaldfrederick6814]

I love my wagon vise, I got a lot of suggestions to do a regular end vise instead, but I'm glad I did the wagon. It holds the workpiece at the front of the bench without racking. I'd 100% do it again

[@davidpalmer5166]

That's the way I made my wagon vice. The only thing I did different was to remove the handle and replace it with a 4" hand wheel. Thanks for all of you teaching and ideas over the years.

[@josephhaddakin7095]

I made a wagon vise for my bench out of an old GM scissor jack, pulley for the handle & frame from metal framing laths. Not as good as Benchcraft but it works. The screw was reverse threaded so when I turn the pulley clockwise, the dog moves forward.

[@sethgarcia8028]

Thank u James. I made my first bench out of red oak. I basically copied your exact model for the wagon vise n I added a cheap front vise. One day I’ll have a sjoberg or I’ll build my dream bench out of a better wood but for now I love my bench it gets the job done n the reason I love my bench is this wagon vise idea. Thank u

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, James! Thanks for all the tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@murphymmc]

Another great idea and build. I have a old end vise pulled from a HF bench, same basic screw. I'll make it work. As for the HF bench, with a bit of ( ok, more than a bit) re-enforcing, drawer re-situating, they aren't too terrible as an assembly table and should be marketed as such. I was given two of them, that's the right price to spend some time modifying into assembly tables and some storage.

[@ronh9384]

Great idea James. I am in the process of reworking my shop and I’m looking forward to the follow up video and the plans. I’ll definitely incorporate that.

[@joey1092]

My back hurts looking at the Dewalt thickness plainer on the shelf

[@StumpyNubs]

Why? It's shoulder height. Unless you're building tables all day long, you should be rough cutting boards to part-length before you plane them. That's not very heavy.

[@devinfisher5171]

I’m guessing he was think of dragging it down to use it. Which is what I thought when I it saw it. I did not even think to use it in place. Clever placement.

[@StumpyNubs]

Ideally, every machine would be at waist height with lots of room around it. But you make compromises in a small space.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

The one time we move it is enough to make me think of my back. Mine is on a cart but before I built that I would leap frog it between a couple WorkMates so I never had to lift it off the ground again.

[@ronh9384]

I was thinking the same thing about the DeWalt planer but using it in place is something I hadn’t thought of.

[@djohnson542]

I built a workbench with a vise like this one years ago. I love it. I has proven to be sturdy and very useful. I'm looking forward to seeing the plans for your entire workshop setup.

[@JerkDogJ]

I'm really interested in this one wall workbench idea, I've moved my shop out of the yard and into the basement and space is....yeah. i like this vise and will almost definitely be making some form of this in the future

[@maple6148]

I have an old bench that includes this type o vise. I would recommend adding a negative chanfer in both "clamps" and an extra block with the complementary chanfer so when in compression, the wood would also be pushed down. Both pieces of each clamp could be assembled by a spring. I'm not sure if its clear enough, but when using my vise I find it annoying when the board starts wobbling. Love your videos btw, I've learned a lot from you. Best regards!

[@edkramer65]

Awesome James. Now you got me thinking of upgrading my bench finally.

[@Suicaedere666]

This right here, is one of the best ideas ever! Stumpy and the crew absolutely rules😊🙌❤️ thank-you for sharing🤘

[@davidadaur5163]

What a great way to add a tail vise to an existing work bench. I really enjoy your videos but this one was especially interesting. Keep up the good work. Thank you Dvid Adair

[@southernjoes8372]

So true on the saw blade I use the thin kerf exclusively. Thanks for nudging me in their direction

[@wisewoodworking2739]

It might be neat to combine this design with a moxon vice. This would be great for folks who want to set it on top of their existing workbench for occasional hand tool wood working, or transport. Thank you for the inspiration James!

[@richardpiper6997]

thanks James for the idea. I added to my workbench and love it. Only modification I made was to dado side lengths and make two long floating tenons to secure. Works great.

[@Ice_Berg]

I've seen wagon vises before but I didn't realize just how small and simple they could be. The super compact nature of this one means there's a ton of freedom in how you build a bench around it. I've been thinking about building a low split top saw bench lately and debating the best way to add some extra work holding in case I want to use it as a more general purpose portable workbench and this style of vise may very well work it's way into the final product.

[@markmurdocca2456]

Thanks - I could probably think of a bazillion ways to customize your plan but this is a really great kick start! Very much looking forward to your published plan.

[@JarlSeamus]

THAT was exactly the vise style I've been looking for! Thanks Stumpy, you nailed it! (and screwed it, and glued it, LOL)

[@randsipe224]

Already have one, basically the same design, except instead of round dogs mine has rectangular pop up dogs. Bottom line it’s great, I love it. My bench Also has a 4 x 4” 8020 aluminum Track with both horizontal and vertical tracks for top an side mounting with a multitude of clamping options. So versatile.

[@johndoe6032]

I hope you still plan to do the one-wall workshop sometime. I am working off two 12 foot sections of wall in my garage with very little space coming out from them because I still have to share garage space with an actual car, and this looks like the ideal setup for me.

[@southernjoes8372]

My favorite video of yours. It solved an idea I had on my CNC table. Thanks so much.

[@michaelleal416]

This looks like the same vise Norm Abrams incorporated into his work bench. I built that work bench over 30 years ago and it still works extremely well.

[@PSWEBERNET]

We are definitely going to hold you to that one wall workshop video....dare i hope series?

A nice addition to ad to a existing workbench. Not so intrusive as traditional vices are. I always appreciate a clean look workbenches with functionality built-in. 👍😍

[@MW-lk6pu]

Just getting started on a small garage workshop. This will be perfect. Thanks

[@thomashverring9484]

That was a brilliant solution to a wagon vise! I don't have a need for one, but I wish I did!

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐Thanks for this awesome video. Not only containing a practical and useful "tool" BUT included with options, ideas, and some history. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

[@bolerkai]

This and the one-wall workbench or an adapted version of it might just be the perfect solution for my little work area. Very interested to see how this all unfolds.

[@waynehouston6835]

Thanks I need this idea for a full size work bench I made years ago but didn’t include an end vise and I even have two unused veneer presses that have not even been out of the box.

[@theredtruckwoodshop2722]

I love this idea. I’ve been wanting to build a new bench and I want a vise. Now I know what I’ll do.

[@1023Blessed]

This is amazing! Can't wait for the plans to be available... thank you for sharing! 🌷

[@gilbertomanzanilla4333]

Everytime you post a great idea y no my pocket is going ti feel it💯👌adding that to my bench thats 4 shore Mr. Nubs

[@georgefusek2860]

I'm working on plans for a new work bench and going to use your work bench idea, THANKS.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

This would be a great addition to a work horse like the one Jay Bates built. Jay put a moxon style vice on one side. As long as the screws didn't interfere this would be a perfect addition on one end.

[@R0gue6729]

Omg.... Just in time to incorporate something like this in my new work bench!!!! Fantastic idea I love this so much!

[@kennethholmes9315]

I built something like that into my bench 11 years ago. It’s a work horse. I use it at least once a week.

[@Rob-Hannon]

Looking forward to those plans. I see some aspects I want to incorporate to my mitersaw station.

[@worstworkshop]

That's an excellent project! I love the idea of a wagon vise. It feels unobtrusive. I may do this one at some point.

[@isaacplaysbass8568]

I like the detailed with the vernier, great ideas.

[@oshgcan3350]

The workbench in Norm Abrams first book has a wagon vise. I built from those plans. Vise works great.

[@davidwilliams9606]

Just what I have been looking for!!! Thanks for all of your good information.

[@robertpearson8798]

A nice version of a traditional tail vise.

[@BeachWoodcraft]

Very nicely done. I watch your videos all the time. Figured it was time I subscribe. Thanks for the wealth of information you provide.

[@garyke8ipz438]

Excellent and easy bench vice I first saw this ( and made) in an 1980’s wood mag for a small work bench that had a recessed tool ‘trough’ on wallside. I used it for years then gave to my son

[@TechZF]

That's Stumpy Nubs we like! Great idea!

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@gmoss985]

Was the one wall workshop video ever produced or is that this winter?

[@robinlatta9619]

Very excited for the fold down work bench video and plans!

[@levandusky5594]

I used veneer press screws for my Moxon vice because I wanted the acme threads for speed of opening/closing and this was the cheapest, fastest way to go.

[@philliparudolph9595]

answers all my questions and requests, looking forward to the plans

[@piggybladder]

You've been reading my mind with that bench idea. A couple of years ago I built a split top roubo with a nice L shaped vice made out of re-cycled mahogany floorboards, which I had to laminate. Although I liked it, I moved house since and the roubo was a pita to move. I also realized very quickly what limited use a L vice is, especially as these days I prefer to flatten boards initially with a router sled. So I've decided to lose the L vice and convert the whole bench into a knockdown moravian bench but with a sliding peg the same as you. I realized that to convert my split tops all I have to do is re-saw the rear board lengthways, put a dado in one of the halves and glue it to the front of the existing front board because that's already got 14" cut out of it with a slot to accommodate the L-vice. I can then re-saw what's left of the rear board to make the rear tray for the moravian.

[@EvanDunville]

Very nice, I really like how you did the construction of your vise. I made a similar wagon vise using spare parts from a broken bench vise. The parts I had were able to move the block without chainging the stick out on the end of the bench though it was a lot more complicated than your design.

[@KyleVeatch]

Great idea! I already had dog holes in my bench and kreg makes a product that does something similar. It is made out of all plastic, but it gets the job done.

[@DrCottes]

Absolutely incredible build

[@PhillipBicknell]

And now I know where Black & Decker got the idea for their Work Mate!

[@TomDanaher]

Nice. I am limited on space and use a table. Im making a moxon vise with a small top 33x16 and I may incorporate this idea into it.

[@grimki11er]

Great idea! I would use screw to secure everything and not glue, just in case something breaks

[@dr.kraemer]

what an elegant design.

[@MMWoodworking]

That is an absurdly good price for that press clamp mechanism, compared to what you pay for the woodworking version of the exact same concept. Crazy. An entire series on, "I found this thing that is essentially identical to an expensive woodworking version, but is normally used by X, for X.." would be cool, and extremely helpful for those of us on a budget. I bet there is a long list of nearly identical hardware or tools that are used in other industries, and sold at a far cheaper price.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us James, that's a really neat vise setup. Fred

[@garykorzelius5930]

Very nice, I will definitely be trying this, I need a good wood working vise in my small shop.

[@billdodson207]

Thank you for this video-- very clear, very useful. I look forward to building my own one-wall shop next year so, good timing on that too. Thanks again

[@tomjohns8498]

That's a cracking little video I'm going try and find the wee screw thingy 🤣..

Cool wagon vise. didn't know that's what its called but I built one same same only different. Actually really like this style of vise on my work bench.

I’m going use it to make a graphite shaft puller for my club repair business.

[@FSEAirboss]

Nice, thanks for showing how its done.

[@jons2447]

Thank you, Mr. Nubs!

[@lohikarhu734]

You could, if money is quite short, use a "rescued" scissor type car jack, using the screw and one of the threaded parts for the clamp, and, maybe, carefully drill out the other part as a bearing... And, so on...

[@tpobrienjr]

Excellent

[@zachbrown6967]

@Stumpy Nubs thank you for this video. I am planning on building a new bench and was wondering if I could use a Yost leg vise screw I had and do it something similar to what you did. Love the videos and thank you for the content

[@EK--ry3lr]

Looks nice and very solid

[@skigglystars9525]

Looks like a fun build

[@samueldeter9735]

Cool vise, but I feel like the handle sticking out would induce some cussing. I would try to alter the design slightly to keep anything from sticking out when not in use. I'd have to play around with it a bit to figure out, but I'd think it would be pretty simple to accomplish. I was thinking inset the mechanism, to bury the entire adjustment screw the whole time, scrapping the original handle. Then, maybe a hex end you could use a standard ratchet, extension, and socket for, or a custom handle of sorts.

[@amsluis]

I made a wagon vise very much like this one, and yes the handle is the biggest issue by far. If you're using a No 7 or something, it's very easy to hit the handle with the plane. It really needs a loose handle like those found on many vises.

[@samueldeter9735]

@@amsluis done anything to fix it yet?

[@amsluis]

@@samueldeter9735 I stick a little shim in front of the dog so the handle is clocked differently. Need to come up with a better fix.

[@samueldeter9735]

@@amsluis be interested in what you come up with, if you wanna share here

[@asailijhijr]

4:46 so those (hidden) pocket screws are arranged in the "weak" direction? But it doesn't matter much because gravity does their job fine and they're basically just alignment pins in this assembly?

[@whismerhilll]

This is a great idea!!! Thanks.

[@thatjonguy103]

I do think one improvement would be to have a different metal piece for clamping that would meet the other brass piece on the shortest setting to clamp small items. How useful that would be remains to be seen. I could also see having those pieces having a larger area to avoid leaving marks in softer materials. Overall though it's an excellent design in my opinion and modifications would depend on intended use.

[@jamarie1972]

Great vice idea
