Homemade Tail Vice

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
After deciding to make a homemade tail vice, I started doing research and I came across the HNT Gordon tail vice. Man, that is a beautiful vice! I decided I was going to try to make something similar but obviously not as stunning. I always look out for anything with threads that could be handy and I picked up a $4 car jack from the oppy for this project. Other than that I used scraps that I had at hand.
The only downside is the screw turns anti clockwise to clamp the workpiece rather than clockwise, I didn't think about this until halfway through the project. Ideally a left hand thread would have been nice. Although I've found that I'm using the vice from the front of the workbench where I'm working on my workpiece, so I'm not looking directly at the end of the knob, making a clockwise/anti clockwise motion less obvious. The knob is more of a roller with a forwards/backwards motion. With the little I've used it I've found I'm already getting used to it.
I know I could have saved myself the hassle and just bought one but this is what I enjoy doing - making my own things. It's like a puzzle that needs figuring out and that's what I enjoy. I'm sure not many would bother making a project like this but it may spark some ideas for your own projects.
I'm pretty sure the drawers for under the workbench should be my next video! And I'm thinking of making a leg vice, like Jay Bates with the scaffold screw but so far I'm struggling to get hold of one. I found some on eBay at a great price $16 but they wanted $26 to post it. I need to find one locally or I will have to just pay the postage.
I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@omartodologo6227]

What a great idea! I wish I had half the toolings, expertice and patience you do. Congratulations on a terrific job.

[@mikewilmoth3383]

This has got to be one of the best videos, hands down, on a DIY idea that I have seen yet! Really well made ! Not like some of the other videos I have watched and thought, Why did I even watch that? My hats off to you, sir!

[@zerojazdy]

I'm blown away by your creativity and imagination. I've learned a lot. Thank you

[@mc4kvb]

Really, really a great job Pask. You took a lot of time and thought put into making this vice. Thanks for sharing.

Pask, your projects are always so well documented and very practical. Some guys on KZbin make some truly beautiful art with wood, but at this stage of my life, I am more into the practical items to improve the shop so that I can one day make the more aesthetically pleasing items later on. Your content is spot on, just wanted to say a big, "thank you," from the States - Cheers!

Me too! From Canada...!

[@michaelbannerman-roberts1518]

Many thx, it's an absolute beady mate, i'm impressed and also puting this on my own bench as soon as i get the MIG.

This is exactly what I was looking for its unbelievable how much those vises are

[@jacobgillespie4758]

Fantastic! This is exactly what I have been looking for before I begin my workbench build. Thanks, Pask Makes.

@Jason you have some catching up to do by watching more of his videos. This gentleman is brilliant in his design and completion. I always learn at least two or three things in each video.

Thankyou for the tip of the pipe bar clamp, I already finish the proyect and feel happy to have it but only the half nut to welding for not to move and everything gets fine see you and bye bye

[@markforrestsm]

Great build Pask, admire the craft..

[@T70781]

I really enjoy your creativity and innovation. I would have enjoyed hearing you narrate this video giving your thoughts about why you built it, bits about the build along the way and what you like best about it and what you might change if you made another. It was great though. Thanks for sharing!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Tony! I have spoken a couple of times in my videos and that was a big hurdle to get over, so I may eventually talk more on some videos. Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

[@terryhinton9910]

Brilliant set of instructions, made it fitted to the bench with home made pop up dogs .

[@TheReformationWoodshop]

Looks great, as always!

[@AusMiner]

That really was a pleasure to watch. I have learnt a lot from this. There's a couple of old car jacks out in the shed - I know exactly what they are going to be used for now. Thanks very much for this video.

[@PaskMakes]

No worries! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@xtraMTpockets]

Neil thats fantastic, and you made it look easy. Defiantly something I would love to have a go at now that its starting to cool down a bit. Well done mate

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Max! I'm looking forward to the cooler weather too, I'm so much more productive in the cooler months!

It's a beauty - love it! Did you use a scaffold screw for the leg vice? That's the way I'm going to go, if I can find one.

Aloha Pask , wonderful use for the throw away find at everyone's past . IT ALREADY in my hands , just need to keep puttering with what I have for it to fit in to my new 'free wood and recycled base tripod of a wood bench for the outside were my yard is very much not on the level.

One perfect video after the other. I need to go to sleep! Thanks for sharing. Tomorrow is an other day.

[@JakeAlazoo1]

Just a thought: To flatten the table and keep those extra holes filled down the length of the table, you could run a metal strip underneath the table with those holes cut out. Then you could take a metal square, add a peg to fill in the hole off of the metal square. It would mount underneath, being flush on top, then you could use the same metal squares flipped over on top to set down into the holes and use as braces for the clamp. I hope I made some clear explanation!

[@JacobvsRex]

Love it!
