HOME MADE GUN VISE FOR UNDER 40 DOLLARS.

This is a great option for those who want to do some gunsmithing without a permanately mounted vise. Its great for working on your fire arms anywhere. For about 40 dollars and a little of your time you can make your own gun vise that is very strong and wont move around.

[@ipdjbt]

I've always been impressed by how neat, organized, and clean your work areas are.

[@OBXSOLWIND]

I am getting old.. I learned a long time ago "A smart man learns from his mistakes and a wise man learns from others mistakes"

[@14DAVEYO]

Built one today! Thanks for the great idea!!! I used felt material for the bottom (no scratch surface protection)

[@thejasonkellett]

Nice job brother. I always like it when us Southern boys show 'em how we do things! Lol I'll be making one of those this weekend, been needin that for a long time...

[@Grubkat]

Outstanding idea! I will most certainly be making one. Your shop is amazing.

[@SoCalPreppers]

Sweet idea, im stealing it, I like the idea with the banding, but Im going to use banding about 1/2 in. too tall so it will act like a edge to keep dropped and or flying parts from escaping. thanks brother!

[@SOS_Recon]

What a great idea as I too have limited space in my area, so something like this would hit the spot!

[@kitcarsonscout723]

This is a really great video its strait forward. I love the idea that you came up with its simple. You can do so much with that little set up. Great Great video.

[@K1KO247]

Would it be strong enough to tighten a barrel nut on this set up without breaking the plywood???

[@chaturbhujsarda2343]

I love your setup. Its Clean And really cleverly built

[@pnolans]

I already have a vise like that. Sitting in a box.... thanks. It came with my drill-press.

[@catrevino]

Awesome idea. I would put some type of carpet or material on top of the wood, since your working with tools and small/large parts even chemicals and such, the carpet may be a good choice for retaining spills and drops. Anyways great work again!

[@tonyleone1430]

you can also try putting a magnetic sheet of paper on the base so that anything that falls will stay on the base. you can get it i a lot of different sizes and/or cut to your preference. Avery makes a lot of variables.

[@MultiMini14]

cool beans, I love it! I wish I watched this video before I bolted my HUGE ass vice to my work bench, lol.... live and learn.

[@1969CampEvans]

GOOD IDEA ....GREAT ORGANIZATION SKILLS.....

[@flashpb04]

Holy shit. This is incredible. I’ll be building one of these.

[@usmcgrunt02]

Use a push block please! I'm speaking from experience!

[@judahsigel6991]

Lmao I was thinking the same thing

[@davidlane9724]

Ouch that hurt to watch

[@steveweise3765]

Great idea. Starting on mine right now.

[@roxanaquintana8620]

works like a charm

[@photosbyray]

Where can I find dummy magazines like the one you used?

[@JC-rf4jn]

Thank you! Excellent solution.

[@TheGoatMumbler]

I have to keep this vid away from my wife because your bench & toolbox are too damn neat! If she sees this she'll be on me to clean mine up. Good ideas here man.

[@OBXSOLWIND]

TheGoatMumbler She needs to see this video.... Cheers

[@Dardrum]

+TheGoatMumbler If your wife does see it,,,just say OBXSOLWIND is not married and has time to keep his stuff nice. "Honey, its amazing what a man can do when he is not nagged to death" LOL

[@svarodzic]

Awesome setup bro!

[@johnplydajr9559]

Damn good idea thanks

[@GeneralSLee]

That's a great idea. Just recently built a new work bench and was struggling with not wanting to put the vise on the corner. I may be "borrowing" this idea. Thanks.

[@OBXSOLWIND]

GeneralSLee Your welcome.. Thanks for stopping by..

[@randyamorde3408]

You are brilliant, thank you!

[@butopiatoo]

Man you are amazing! Creative, organized, and brilliant! Thanks for sharing your ideas and techniques.

[@johnmacfarlane5636]

Nice bit of work. Need something like that. It's been awhile since the video was done. Have you discovered any improvements over time that you would like to share. You're a real artist!

[@JohnWilliams-ee5ly]

Dude, thanks for sharing this.

[@anthonygonzales6029]

I'd be willing to buy some of those picatinny rail blocks from you I've already built a similar portable vice block so they would be a perfect addition!

[@jd_flick]

this is excellent. Great idea!

[@greatnortoni]

I've been subscribed for a while now, really appreciate the topics and work it takes to make the videos. This particular project was very clever, I may have to attempt this one myself. Keep up the good work and thanks for doing it!

[@rchopp]

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

[@aroldfut]

Very clever build and ideas. However, I strongly suggest you make some table saw push sticks while you still have fingers!

[@carmas54]

you should make the mag wells...they're expensive

[@wncoulte]

Great Video!!!

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Sorry Brother.. These things are ILLEGAL in CA,CO,MD,DC and CN. There is a possibility one could accidentally clamp ones finger in the vise..SORRY..LOL

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Call a house mover and have them level up the bench. Its better to have an out of level house with a level bench ...LOL CHEERS BROTHER..

[@RichardT123456789]

Hi , great video. Where did you find the mag well blocks ? I’m lookin* for AR 15 / 308. Also how level is the stock to barrel level as well as the Lf to Rt Thank you.

[@spulamander]

Thanks for sharing your fantastic idea. I wish I would have seen this before I ordered my Hoppes gun vise.

[@XRinger]

I've used 'polyethylene cutting boards' to make vise blocks. They are pretty durable (and cheap. Kitchenware). Useful when you need to drift a sight off a pistol slide. Saw it with a low speed saw, since a hot blade might melt the poly and gum up the blade.

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Thanks.. Its been a long time.. Hope all is well with you and yours. I bet that grand child is tearing your house apart LOL..

[@OBXSOLWIND]

I dont know how to answer that. My best advice is you get what you pay for. Hope that helped..

[@buzzsah]

Did you use Starboard to make the blocks ?

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Thank you very much for pointing that out theres a good chance I would have never cought that. I wish YT had spell check built in.

[@22tanmay]

That's a wonderfully maintained tool room. Loved the video

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Thanks. I love building things. The cool part is learning and maybe justifying buying another tool..AARR..AARR..AARR..

[@ratagris21]

Thanks for posting and sharing this informative and cost effective video for DIY gunsmiths. Great job!

[@SuperAbuYasmine]

Great idea. You should think about a business and patent the mag well molds too. Kudos!

[@bryanpeart]

Beyond awesome period

[@w.t.pstandforyourlife.5639]

You should provide all the materials that we need to build one like that?

[@marktiesman6742]

Would that vise setup also allow for barrel installs and removals?

[@michaelkaylor6770]

He didn't go anti-gun, just a guess but I bet his wife is???

[@brucefrank6119]

From where does one get the magwell support block?

[@TodaysBushcraft]

Not only would we like the size on the base, but could you maybe do a video on your benches (how you made them, sizes, etc. I know in another video you said 39" tall, but depth, wood (1" plywood?), etc. Thanks for another great video!

[@w.t.pstandforyourlife.5639]

Wow bro Your fk to smart nice

[@buzzsah]

Being a boater, I have worked with Starboard for years. I've made rifle rest, hammers, slides, and just about everything to do with boats, but never thought of vice jaws. Seeing that Starboard is self lubricating and has a small amount of was in it, it a easy product to work with. Nice vice.

[@garetjax27]

Awesome video, thank you for posting. Couple of questions: 1) What are the dimensions of the cabinet-grade plywood you used? You mentioned 3/4" thick, but what is the length and width? 2) What is the manufacture and model of the drill press vise you used in the video? 3) When installing the ship's rails, did you use glue and nails, or just one or the other? 4) What are the dimensions of the ship rails you used?

[@taxman121]

I saw this video 7 years ago…..I’m finally getting around to doing this project today! The beauty of KZbin. I hope this guy is doing good. He made great videos!

[@caleblong2918]

Can this be used with tools like the reaction rod when applying torque to a barrel nut? I've been desperately needing some kind of setup just like this because I don't have a shop, if it works good enough to install a barrel I'm going to build one immediately!! Thanks for sharing, and hope to hear your thoughts on the idea for installing barrels 👍✌🇺🇲 new sub here

[@bikernut1969]

I'm going to make this vise as I'm in the process of building my LR-308.... This dude has all the tools also..... GREAT video... Loved the video where this guy cranks out a match grade AR like he's done it in his sleep.

[@jcnme]

Excellent Video Sir ! I will be making one of these. I truly appreciate you sharing this with everyone. I would like to purchase a pair if "Rail Jaws"...... Please let me know what you would be asking fir them. Sincerely, Doug

[@scanyoursector5731]

Very nice looking, and I like the Starboard idea. I made mine a while back, (before I found this video.) But I just purchased a commercial cookie sheet from a 2nd hand store for maybe $3, cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to size, and mounted the vice in the cookie sheet, using the plywood as a backer board. I also used T-head bolts to be used in my T-rail system.

[@JustinOfficer]

The handy vac footage was a great touch . Again , great video man. Genius idea . Great info , concise and to the point . If you ever want to adopt a 38 yr old man I'd love to have you as a dad . Shit , I'd even introduce you to my mom. Just kidding but I really enjoy your videos . You should have your own show ! Call it "How to do shit right the first time " ...

[@bloodgod4340]

Can you show us how to make the blocks?

[@wailuaroots]

+OBXSOLWIND Beautiful work man love the Vise setup going to make mine soon. 🤙🏽Aloha from Hawaii and Mahalos for sharing🤙🏽

[@EastCoastPrepper]

Thanks for sharing OBX!! Great video..

[@M0D0C42]

That's a great idea and I'd steal it, except it wouldn't work for me.... my bench-tops are not level. LOL I guess I could add leveler stand-offs and perhaps a small block between the vice and the base, so I could my big clumsy fingers around the jack screw. But man, I can see the benefits of this for all sorts of projects. Thanks! :)

[@sthor3764]

In the beginning of this video I thought this was just another plug for tipton I was wrong. GREAT IDEA !!! Thank you for sharing this. I am making this one.

[@biglenny1000]

I am paralyzed an this Vice would be perfect for what I need.I can put it where I need to and at my level.But I was wondering if there's anyway I could get some of those blocks for the AR?

[@warren7127]

I live in a small apartment, My work bench has been my coffee table. Now that I am building an AR, & I just knew that wasn't going to happen without a vise.I think this is a fantastic idea for those of us with very little or no room at all for work space. Thanks for sharing o/

[@buzzsah]

oops I guess I should watch the whole video lol

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Its a LMT. Lewis Machine and Tool.

[@OlTrailDog]

Thanks for the idea. I've got a tig welding table in my house that I'm going to temporarily fasten the drill press vice to for holding the lower receiver vise block. I like the small lip on the plywood edges that keeps the runaway parts corralled too.

[@thjames312]

I just built mine today. Was very easy. Right after I was done i mounted my scope onto my ar10. Thank you!

[@jmose1911]

Thanks for your time. Great idea for a gypsy who has to pack & unpack over and over. Definite thumbs up.

[@woobie491]

What brand of vise are you using. Manufacture and model number. Thanks for the video.

[@XRinger]

Great idea! I have a similar vise that isn't being used. (5" jaws/opens to 4") but, because of it's fixed crank handle, I'll mount the vise off-center, so the crank handle can hang over the edge of the table, facing towards me. That will also place the gun/parts closer to me, so I can easily reach everything while sitting in a chair. I'm thinking of installing a little molding around the edge of the board, so that small parts (pins etc) can't roll away. Rubber feet under board for anti-skid.

[@greenhavennn]

Man, you're a genius! Love it. Wish I'd seen this earlier today, before I ordered that $75 Tipton vise from Amazon. I'm still gonna make this, though. Thanks for sharing this with us, before you go and get a Patent on this idea and market it. You should sell these. Hell, I'd buy one from you. I'm NOT a carpenter or engineer like you. Great job.

[@mcgee772003]

I have been looking for something just like this. If you decide to sell the pic rail vice blocks let me know. I'd buy some. Thanks for the vid.

[@smiffersmaffer]

I guess great minds think a like. I stop by the machine shop and got some scrap blocks of nylon.. To Use in vise.

[@garzonlaperle9403]

I made it by myself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build.

[@metgel1919]

I have the same vice, but I just use C-clamps to hold the vice on the table. I may have to try the plywood.

[@fulsame1]

As long as it requires a tool to remove the firearm from the vice, its not considered detachable, and is considered CA legal.

[@Planetgonenuts]

Now that is smart with total accessibility. bravo.

[@dryfirefivepointfivesix3047]

wow i'm guessing you are a millionare, you got only the best tools, shooting range and firearms money can buy, awesome, bro

[@gabedestellano]

Fuckin perfect....

[@OBXSOLWIND]

Your welcome..Thanks for stopping by..

[@Kigai11]

Great video, I made 2 of these one with a regular vise and one with the drill press vise and they work great when I need to work on my ar15 or just need to some some small projects, I was in the same boat as you I didn't want to mount a vise permanently on my work area and this was the perfect solution.

[@pr4runner]

You always have great thoughts / ideas. You must be old and have learned from experience LOL. Awesome ideas.

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Well Pilgrim that's off the chains. I love this idea for sure very Kool . Thanks for sharing

[@darksideoffroad1078]

Nice. Its good to have the right tools for the job of building the right tool for another job.

[@mdmartin77]

Nice vise. But what really caught my eye was that 308. How long is that barrel? Nice ar10.

[@ColeMM7]

what kind of nuts did you use to recess into the board on the bottom to anchor your carriage bolts to?

[@BigSnook954]

EXACTLY what im going to do, simple solutions for the everyday gun guy

[@johwcoop]

Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Your reloading setup is very nice.

[@keithcarper5286]

Great idea and video. I made one. Say, are you selling and of gizmo's you made?

[@BBSPaul]

Nice presentation of a very practical need many of us have. I will build this.

[@kevinnielson3090]

Hey i just built one like yours how can i send you a picture of it ?.

[@423alonso]

Excellent 👍
