Workbench Wood Vise - Build a Workshop #55

In this video I install an Irwin woodworkers vise on my workbench. I am impressed with the quality of this vise.

You are the first guy I saw on here that installed the vise that way. Good job.

[@ashagon]

It's good enough for government work. I like it

[@MikeMike-os5cv]

I enjoyed your video. I can relate to your work and how things turn out. I’m an amateur in the woodworking field so my expectations of perfection tend to fall short often.

[@alanfreedman5877]

Thanks...I just followed your video to the letter and it turned out great.

[@LandtoHouse]

Nice! I am not a heavy user of this vice but it has worked well since install.

[@johnmuffy2848]

My compliments, that showed a good fit. Is there any way I can make one into a Carvers Vise? Again, I loved it.

[@ttfweb1]

I suggest making a pull-out support on the right side of the bench for longer pieces of wood you put in a vice. Nice video.

[@LandtoHouse]

That's a good idea. A way of supporting the weight of a longer piece of wood.

[@frankjimenez3193]

When doing the wood jaw,it's best to clamp them together in the jaw clamp before drilling the holding screw holes. This way the top of the jaws are even.

[@dufreebell]

Simple and neat. I like it.

[@leonardnoel888]

Well explained. Thanks.

[@LeonidasBorgesEletrica]

Good job! Simple and great. Like!

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. I have used it in a few projects and it works well.

[@TomeOfKnowledge74]

Good video. Looks like the grain orientation issue is pretty well commented. I see another issue. Oak is pretty hard, and will mar anything clamped that is softer. I recommend using pine. Rather damage your pads than your work.

[@andrizeefoshizee]

good call. I saw that on another video. I plan to attach a softwood to mine.

[@jllaine]

since the cheeks don't extend outside the metal by very much, the grain orientation shouldn't be a problem. If you put very wide cheeks into this to give you more bypass clamping ability, then yes the grain orientation would matter.

[@z1catfish]

Few things, One change the board grain, Two route pockets into your boards, so the oak sits against the work bench, and do the same with the outside plank, and i think you will find can clamp a 2x4 in it width wise. Nice work.

[@57Sauce]

Could you explain about the board grain to a newbie? Do you cut the board differently?

[@z1catfish]

@@57Sauce Want grain of the wood running lengthwise. How it gets its strength.

[@LandtoHouse]

Oh yes so true. The other vice on the middle bench has the grain correct.

[@57Sauce]

Thanks! @@z1catfish

[@charleschampjr70]

Thank you for sharing this video.

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you for watching!

[@williamfrankham8909]

Orienting the grain gives more strength. Oak is strong but it will split along the grain.. (Just my opinion).

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes when I made this I did not even think about that. I have another vise on my middle bench and the wood grain is the correct way.

[@JuanDiaz-mu8ht]

Has any (or both) of the boards cracked yet?

[@LandtoHouse]

No not yet! The other vice on my middle bench has the wood mounted the other direction. All good so far.

[@freddyramonbriceno]

Buenas tardes ... amigo, soy aficionado a la carpintería y quiero hacer un proyecto que desde hace tiempo lo tengo en mente .. una mesa para jugar dominó .. me gusta su trabajo, es detallado y excelente .. podría usted ayudarme con este proyecto? haciendo un vídeo, fabricando una mesa para jugar dominó

[@salcidojosiah]

I think I'm going to go those route for assembling ARs, mounting optics, cleaning, etc. Thanks.

[@hughring]

Is it just me or does orienting the grain vertically look like a bad idea?

[@bruce1816]

hughring it's not just you !!! More than likely, it won't be long before one or both split.

[@LandtoHouse]

Interesting idea. Luckily I have enough of that board leftover to replace it when or if it does crack. Thank you for the input.

[@LandtoHouse]

I had not considered that it may crack in this direction. I'll be sure to give an update if it does.

[@BengtRosini13]

Totally! I'm sitting here watching this and cringing!

[@LandtoHouse]

On the other bench I turn the wood the other direction. Both have worked fine for my light use.

[@oldsam56]

Should not use vertical grain - should have been horizontal. Vertical grain with split and crack. Likely an end will ultimately break off.

[@jkg2754]

You should run the grain the other way !!

[@nintendolunchbox]

I’m expecting a video here soon where Ashley does the voice over.

[@LandtoHouse]

Boy that would be funny. Probably just as funny as if I were to do one of her makeup videos............ :)

[@buddymorgan2351]

Question y didnt u run the wood grain with bench but good job

[@LandtoHouse]

Definitely one of those things that I learned it would have been better after the fact. I do think it would look nicer to follow the workbench grain and probably be less likely to crack

[@kombolasha]

Goodness gracious... definitely watch at 1.25x speed. Even 1.5x isn’t too fast. Good video nonetheless.

[@LandtoHouse]

Hmm. Yes sometimes my videos are rather slow. Thank you for watching.

[@ironmantooltime]

Not bad

[@theoutsider4066]

Cheeks are too low … need to be just proud of, or at least flush with, the bench top

[@theoutsider4066]

@ Because you don't want the plane blade or saws teeh etc coming into contact with the metal body of the vice ..... far cheaper to replace the cheeks than the tools.

[@noway5231]

I feel like these are wranglerstar videos? this is the 2nd video in my cue that is exactly what wranglerstar does.. are you remaking his vids? LOL

[@LandtoHouse]

I remade the wall built in workbench because his was like 5 part and hard to follow. :) the vise is kind of part of that build.

[@adeh503]

I have my Irwin bolted to the bench, the heads are recesed below the surface

[@LandtoHouse]

These vices have worked well for me so far. Install is not bad.

[@rosannaspeller9408]

I like how his has the jaws about level with the top but having it recessed into the top might be better for stability, with the wood under the vise as well as the screw keeping it on. I wonder if you could have the best of both worlds somehow, maybe with recessing into an apron or something.

[@joejamata5583]

Woodglut Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.

[@shannanschisler8485]

I am pretty sure you can still buy e-book with all details you need on woodprix.

[@nurdinpa8983]

[@sheldondrake8935]

not so hard to replace faces, I'll make mine out of softer wood. at least bevel those sharp edges...otherwise thanks!

[@brianwebb9121]

I agree. I see a bunch of people using hardwood as the attachment wood which is backwards thinking. Oak will definitely mar or indent softer woods like pine when you clamp them. Since the majority of wood I will be clamping on is softer woods, I'm going to use pine or poplar at most attached to the vise. Just finished my table saw outfeed table/assembly table and this Irwin Vise is the perfect thing for this.

[@starkaran8390]

Stodoys is nice for that.

[@patricksteinmetz44]

Outstanding video! I like.

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you!
