Homemade Pinless Leg Vice

[@Tlebzu1]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . 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!

[@BeauOwens]

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.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Beau! :)

[@MutatedDingo]

I watch a lot of woodworkers on KZbin. 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!!!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Mike! :)

[@Frankengruvin]

I was totally confused about the old grinder wheels until the very point you installed the handle. Bravo!

[@GoGreenMan]

I really really loved how you used those old grinding disk!! they came out great!!!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks - I'm very pleased with how they turned out too! :)

[@ahikernamedgq]

Mr Pask, you are so creative. Thanks for putting your videos out in the world. These are the best.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Jesse! :)

[@John_Malecki]

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 !

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much John! :)

[@bluecurvedesign]

UBER cool vice. Love the round wheel from grinder discs, looks very retro!

[@PaskMakes]

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. :)

[@anthonythibodeau81]

the wheel looks AWESOME and is ingenious use of otherwise scrap parts.

[@thomasarussellsr]

@@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?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

An oldie, but a goodie. Nice job as always

[@scottsh21]

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.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@ericlee1624]

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!

[@davidrussell8689]

Admire your skills and inventive spirit . Re-using available material around you is fantastic and shows imagination .

[@JeepGuy8686]

Love your creativity and ingenuity. Crafting things instead of just buying them.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! Yep that's what I like to do :)

[@alexgreen3052]

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!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Alex! :)

[@uitgeverijbetelgeuze5963]

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

[@RichardConnor1]

That is so well built. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us.

[@PaskMakes]

No worries Richard!

[@canadianbushman8982]

Fine work. Nothing better than a project that uses all your tools and skills.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! :)

[@PeranMe]

Oh man, the figuring in that wood makes my heart skip a beat... Thanks for sharing this!

[@PaskMakes]

No worries! :)

[@treforparry4054]

I am in awe - so many different skills and processes in that build, and a great result at the end.

[@samwilson4309]

Love all your videos, Neil. I also live in Queensland and always look forward to Australian videos.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Sam! :)

[@foolforspeed]

Now that's a man that knows how to work with tools. Great job!

[@jkgkjgkijk]

This guy has advanced and wide ranged skill sets. Impressive!

[@jimbolton2513]

From Kentucky. I have watched all your videos and concluded that you are one very talented man. I liked them all.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Jim from Kentucky! :)

[@tjcarita]

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!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Tony! :)

[@Ronsparks1006]

This is exactly what I was looking for in a leg vice for my table design! Perfect!

[@fernandomedeiros871]

Very creative. Absolutely love the hand wheel. Well Done !

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Fernando! Looks like the hand wheel is getting good thumbs up! :)

[@FranciscoDelValle180]

Superb work! The "wheel" is a clever idea. Loved it.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Fantastic video! Love how you solved the problem of the sideways wobble.

[@PaskMakes]

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. :)

[@sikamoreify]

Engineer first, maker second. The ingenuity that goes into your designs is so impressive.

[@generalzugs6017]

Well, Mr. Paskin, you have outdone yourself this time. I am pleased.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much! :)

[@Dingbat217]

The old grinder wheels as a wheel was quite clever I think! :-)

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

Yes but only if you have some :)

[@ihrescue]

Plus it looks so good.

[@thomasarussellsr]

I suppose you could find a pulley of some sort laying around, at a scrap yard, etc...

[@crazytomato4845]

I like that you give everything and honest strength test

[@mmgross144]

Incredible bench and equally impressive vise! Nice board selection for the jaw! You are very well-rounded in your skills!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Michael! :)

[@claterpult]

Great build, love that scraper holder, genius!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks! Yes, the scraper holder works great :)

[@YTcustomchris]

The vice is great man. I think I love the wheel look the most

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Chris! The wheel was favourite part too! :)

[@randygerman5437]

Dude, you showed so many ideas in one short video! Very cool. Nice choice of wood, too.

[@PaskMakes]

No worries! :)

[@phil.pinsky]

I absolutely love your videos. they keep getting better and better. live the upcycling and reclaimed work you're doing

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Phil! btw thanks for the shoutout on your podcast - I enjoyed it. :)

[@phil.pinsky]

Pask Makes my pleasure. keep up the great work!

[@thegazman53]

Well done Cobber. Very interesting technique to get a pinless leg vice. Cheers, GG

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Gary! :)

[@grantdennis273]

well done sir ..most creative..love the ingenuity with the hand wheel.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Grant - glad you like it! :)

[@allinon1sw]

Wow, I really like that workbench! This vice is awesome!

[@Psychlist1972]

That's beautiful. Love the wood. Love the wheel.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Pete! :)

[@zerojazdy]

Absolutely brilliant! I really enjoyed watching it from the first video. Great work!

[@chriscunicelli7070]

I really like how you work out problems and create. Nice work

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Brilliant build Neil and a fantastic video.

[@kalebcrafts6173]

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!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying it! :)

[@benhightowerv]

I love the screw handle! Ingenious!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Ben! :)

[@STO300]

Awesome job, for sec there thought it was some aftermarket pulley. Workbench turning into piece of art!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! :)

[@HBSuccess]

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.

[@zorro587]

Apologies for the long video? Could've watched that at twice the length. Excellent bench.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Nige! That's good to hear but a long video can turn some viewers off. :)

[@theploeg]

There is an option to watch youtube videos up to 2x speed but this one had me transfixed as is.

[@jenniferh.7219]

Just blink more slowly. u'll see less & can meditate during the dark moments

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

Nige Mullins We share our last name, My first is Daniel.

[@ihadabadday7709]

I have my wife help me with the heavy lifting too :) That chop is beautiful!!!

[@fisharmor]

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.

[@PaskMakes]

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! :)

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

3:47 - fantastic shot :) seriously awesome build! love the graphics! a pleasure to watch :)

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@DavidStanton]

Have been thinking about a new bench and leg vise/vice. Great job, keep them coming!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you David! :)

[@Alphonse57]

Absolutely love what you did with the old grinding wheels!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks - glad you liked it! :)

[@MartyOfAllTrades]

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..

[@agp7073]

Awesome leg vice great work!

[@JedidiahShultzIrishCraftsman]

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!!

[@PaskMakes]

No worries - I'm glad it helped you! :)

[@peladinho769]

what a nice piece of work makes me want to copy it ….and the wood you selected is beautiful thanks for the video

[@silveravnt]

I watched this video to see how the wheel was made. Very impressive and looks awesome.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! :)

[@markg8972]

a small brace at the back of the screw pin would secure it, tight like you did at the front with the 2 hardwood inserts but im sure you already know this another brill video i love how creative you get its getting rarer and rarer in this throw away day and age.

[@robertturner5138]

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.

[@eckhardk.442]

Tolles Video. Der Mann weiß wirklich was er macht. Respekt. Hab viel gelernt. Danke.

[@TomGarner99]

That’s just plain old awesome. Nice work again. 😀

[@barstad-9591]

Excellent. And that wood is beautiful!

[@junaidriaz9773]

Nice idea of wheels

[@mmd1957]

That is quite simply, fantastic.

[@LoveZick]

Now, thanks to you, the companies will start making the grinder discs from un-weldable materials! Thanks sir. Thanks.

[@PaskMakes]

Haha - No worries! :)

[@mountainviews5025]

Love it I need to get some of these old grinding disc you made this from thumbs up my friend

[@Roots-Of-Knowledge]

you just getting better in each vlog.. bravo dud really great stuff... real education

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you - great to hear the feedback! :)

[@martinstrath791]

Do you live inside a motorcycle track? Every other second it sounds like a motorcycle running 160 miles an hour, passes by just outside your workshop! Love it ;)!

[@PaskMakes]

Haha! Just the sound of the passing cars sped up! ;)

[@akerisenfors]

That's one big kazoo! Great work as always! Obsessed with your videos.

[@gerritswadek1099]

You are a very talented maker! I wish I was half as creative as you

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! I don't know what to say :)

[@andrewaustin6941]

[@OpiofTexas]

I must say, you have great ideas!

[@heman5737]

Thank you from Mexico, nice work

[@AndreaArzensek]

Wonderful video and job, I love that wheel!

[@johnberrier]

Always great, quality of presentation, as well as content. Thanks...

[@UBO58]

Great leg vice! And the wheel is a real beauty! Maybe a second nut on half of the depth would make it even less wobbly. Should not be difficult to install.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! Another + for the wheel :) I did think about that and also I may just add a length of hardwood either side of the screw at the back.

[@millerswood39]

Beautiful and smart! Thanks for the upload

[@noelherley388]

Great build Neil.

[@rafaeldaulet59]

A beautiful work of art, sir. I enjoyed watching the entire process of creating the workbench. Thanks for making the video - I do know how tiring it is (supposedly, the very workbench would have taken twice as less time to produce without the vid.) Thanks for sharing and keep on doing such beautifully designed and manufactured things.

[@Justin-HCB]

truly superb just watched all your bench videos fantastic work !! Subscribed please keep them coming

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Justin! :)

[@benyork3895]

The way you made that handle... so damn cool!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Ben! :)

[@McAVITYourWay.]

You just re-invented the Leg Vice!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! But I didn't invent anything here. :)

[@McAVITYourWay.]

Ok. you re-invented the wheel lol

[@PaskMakes]

Haha! :)

[@mikewhipp2984]

Thanks for some ideas Pask. I've been wanting to make one with the St. Peter's cross and yours turned out great. I was going to use some thick stock but the L beam looks sturdy and will be much cheaper. Also, I love the wheel. Great idea. One thing, a couple feet of 3/4 or even 1 inch acme rod and a couple of nuts would probably make that run a lot smoother too. I know the leveler is an acme but not a precise. Anyway, great video. Thanks

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Mike! :) Acme rod would be better for sure - very expensive here though. The leveller screw still works very well and at a great price - I paid $16 with shipping $30. :)
