Irwin Vise Install and Dog Hole Workbench Upgrade

[@stevecorry2118]

Mr. Stukov, thanks so much for the video. I've had this vise for years and never knew how to install it. Now I do and it is woodworkers like you that help us all get down the path.

[@bradleydavisson]

been watching a lot of vise videos today, I like this method the most, especially those peg holes

[@VineyardFX]

Really enjoyed this video from beginning to end, especially the bench dog modification. Thank you!

[@chrisstclair1024]

Great little vise I have 3 mounted to my bench for different purposes. I use an angle grinder and flatten the top too a 90 degree angle first.

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

I just received my vice today and looked at a few videos to see how to mount it. This was by far the best way for my purposes. I will also need to drill holes for the vice rods to go into since the lip of my work table is only about 3 inches and I won't be able to close the vice enough for a thinner piece of wood. I'll also be adding some holes for bench dogs as well now 😁. The only thing that was not really necessary, at least in my beginner opinion, was that little shim to hold wood. You could just as easily clamp a piece of wood a bit higher than the vice and use that as the stop block. But this was otherwise perfect for what I need to do on my new work bench. Thank you!

I have that same vise but hadnt thought of adding the dog... looks like Im making some mods this weekend. Thanks for the idea and nice video!!!

[@MarkSWilliams27]

Hi. I just got this very same vise at a flea market for $10 US. Not bad! All you really need actually. Then a metal vise mounted on a piece of scrap plywood and clamped to the bench when needed. Removed when not needed.

[@MrStukov]

$10 is a good deal especially now. Glad that you like vise!

[@gregoryschmid149]

Thank you sir much appreciated. I think I have learned something and you get the credit. thank you.

[@henrymiller-dw4hp]

Excellent job I understood everything you said and definitely will try one out. Thank you for a well-done video.

[@thesquinty1]

Awesome vid

[@pedroramirez5154]

Good idea man. Thank you.

[@MrStukov]

Glad to help

[@richardweinberger2756]

Great ideas here. Thanks.

Not a quick release have fun cranking

[@teacake4922]

Did I miss something or was the piece of Oak in the vice flush with the top of the vice one moment and then sticking up proud of the vice a moment later? How is the piece of Oak adjusted up and down? Great work by the way. Will definitely incorporate this into my first workbench!

[@MrStukov]

You see that small hole in this small guy, I use awl or small drill bit to move it up and the just push it back when not needed. I also going to upgrade this setup and make back lip of the vise flush with the table side.

[@jamesvandergriff5204]

I missed that part as well. But now I see the hole he uses to pull it up

[@KLartrandM]

​@@MrStukov i see the hole you use to pull up. But how does it stay up?

[@2012Viking]

​@@KLartrandMJust a guess but I think it is just friction fit, tight enough to not fall down without help but loose enough to be pulled up with an awl or drill bit like he said he does. In time it may wear out and not stay up on its own. But it would be easy enough to either just make another oak piece or put some tape on it to make it snug again.

[@Tennet3D]

@@MrStukovThanks for this great video. I just installed a Irwin 175 vise to my new workbench yesterday. I noticed that it didn’t have the ”dog” attachment, so I will definately incorporate your solution today. What do you mean by modify your vise so that the back lip of the vise is flush with the table? I mean, aren’t both “wood plates” (in the jaws) already flush with the table side?

[@fransiscoalvarezinski6293]

Good Job!

[@armus550b]

Not bad but you limited yourself by installing the back plate proud of the side of your bench. If you recess the vise further the whole side can be used to keep work straight or hold longer boards with additional clamps. I traced my inner plate onto a 2x4 and used a router to mortise it out. Then mounted it all flush to the side.

[@MrStukov]

Thats makes sense, thank you for idea, we working with wood so will improve my Vise next weekend!

[@joshuamcguire4832]

This must be German engineering...half days work to install a clamp..lol thanks for the vid

[@MrStukov]

It is!

[@danielgrabske3545]

Gotta have a beer brake😂😂

[@danielgrabske3545]

If you glue some leather or cork it will hold better

[@mikemerc74]

What size lag bolts did you use?

[@emendozadesigns]

Nice

[@buddymcclure6170]

What did you call the piece that you used in the table as a stop and where did you buy it?

[@MrStukov]

This workbench stop name is "bench dog". I just added link to it in the video description.

[@buddymcclure6170]

@@MrStukov Thank you, I actually found them after watching your video. Much appreciated!

[@MrStukov]

@@buddymcclure6170 No worries!

[@A48L16S091366]

If you would delete the music sound track, I might be able to understand you. I only lasted one minute and I am moving on to look for an installation video with a better sound track.

I'm starting to like you Russians.
