Hi, I'm impressed with many people like you who have the Skills you do in working with metal. It's a very innovative and impressive Hydraulic Vice and the only drawback I can foresee over a manual hand powered Vice is that It costs electricity to run it via a compressor and would over time - shorten the life of a compressor - but if Money is no object and you have the Skills and the Time - Then I'd say a job well done - excellent work and Video presentation to go with it! 🙃

In answer to your question in the title, the reason you don't see this being done is because it takes far more time and effort than the end product is worth, even with a well equipped shop such as yours. I enjoyed watching the process, and for the purposes of a fun project and entertaining KZbin content it was worthwhile. But as a means to obtaining a nice functional vise not so much.

Most interesting to me is the amount of nice steel stock you can get from a shock absorber!

[@slakjawnotsayin5451]

If I had all sorts of expensive metal plates and stuff kickin around my shop, I would have made SOOOOO many cool things as well. The price of metal pieces these days is way out of hand, and getting anything like a flat plate is not just something you can easily find anymore unfortunately, so something like this little project in this vid and with all of the extra screws and pneumatic parts, would cost a couple $100... The video starts out with a junky old used shock, and makes you forget about all of the other stuff and costs. Neat project though, and I do love watching these on KZbin for sure!

[@artszabo1015]

Find a large metal fab shop near you. Ask them if you can go through their 'scrap' pile. They may just eyeball the weight and let you have it for scrap value. A friend and I have bought truck loads of steel aluminum and brass this way. A lot of the stuff is called 'drops'. Art from Ohio

[@slakjawnotsayin5451]

@@artszabo1015 Oh wow, interesting. Around where I live, there's a steel plant that takes scrap and has bins around, and they pay people for the scrap, so any business that deals with metal, will be recycling their scrap metal there unfortunately... There are some places that sell scrap as well, but their prices are crazy high these last few years.

@@slakjawnotsayin5451 It doesn't matter if they already have a scrap buyer. They MAY let you pick out some of the better pieces for the same price as the scrap buyer just as a courtesy to you.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Nice job buddy. How much holding fore does the clamp apply would you think?

[@mattm3901]

This is the question, dependent on air pressure. Version 2 could have a small adjustable pressure regulator under the workbench etc. If you need more clamping force, you make one with a bigger diameter cylinder. Air pressure can be divided by area to get force applied.

[@mattm3901]

As an example if that’s 2” cylinder, the face of the cylinder is about 3.14 square inches. 100 psi on this surface would give about 31.4 pounds of compressive force. Area of the cylinder face=3.14 x half the diameter squared Pressure is given in force per area. Divide force per area by the area and you’re left with force.

[@TJ14142]

@@mattm3901 I think your decimal point needs to be moved to the right. Otherwise, yes, I agree. Should be enough force for light wood working, depending upon the coefficient of friction between the surface of the workpiece and the vise jaws.

You need a push-button safety on top of your switch- or something similar. Otherwise someone is going to get maimed closing the clamp- not knowing what it is.

Im reading the comments and some are mind blowing as to the level of ignorance that is really out there in this world. Yes its a vice. Yes you can go buy whatever and be done. But what i see here is a massive time saver in many ways. People need to open their minds to more than basic and look at a bigger picture. I dont know about everyone else but i can attest to the frustration of having to open a vice very wide to hold something that didn't need a metric ton of pressure to hold it in place to work the part for a few seconds that you then have to close the vice by screwing it all the way in. How many of us never fully close it and return the handle to its proper home position? Raiae your hands. ✋ i know i have taken a corner of a jaw to my hip more times than id care to remember. But hey, im a flexible open minded DIY'R myself so i can appreciate the bigger picture. Excellent job.

Does that look like a simple vice? Well, to you maybe because you don't understand the technology being used here or the fact that he took some junk and built a pneumatic vice using basic shop tools without having to spend his hard earned cash to buy it. Time equals cash... You work for money to spend far too much money to buy a cheap inferior vice. He took junk and made a better one... Which is the smarter path? We used to make things, now we buy crappier versions and then when it dies, we throw it out and buy more cheap crap. This video is here to show you how we can be builders again, how we can make interesting things with basic tools, not fantastic equipment, in fact you could do it all with hand tools if you have the time and will. I have seen men on KZbin pull out a small car motor that had been under water for years, and with just basic tools he rebuilt it into an outboard motor. There is much to be learned here and online, but if you don't learn these basic skills, you will never have them. The question is, do you have any content showing you building anything of any value from nothing?
