Making A Bench Top Vise - Part One

[@theofficialczex1708]

Dear, Santa Aus, Please give Artisan Makes a bandsaw for Christmas. He's been nice this year.

[@marznoyb2732]

Nooooooo....... Please Santa urge AM to get a P.O Box, I need to donate a heap of hacksaw blades plus some other stuff. Merry Christmas AM and everyone else.

[@roireb1]

Beat me to posting this. The hacksaw clips drives me nuts.

[@lancer2204]

@@roireb1 why do you think he keeps them in? He's another Aussie shit stirrer at heart.

You clearly lack character. Maybe get a character builder yourself!

[@SethKotta]

Buying tools and using tools are two separate hobbies

[@ashesman1]

I am always amazed at the finish you get straight off the mill. Almost looks like it's been ground!

[@ikkiiiieee]

About the warp of the steel: you also smacked it with a hammer to get it off the big steel block you had

[@killsode4760]

The bend did then disappear when he heat treated it.

[@blackoak4978]

He cut it into three... Each bow would have been reduced to a third just from that

[@artisanmakes]

There’s footage of the before and after of each individual piece that was not included in the edit. The heat treat was what bent it back.

[@jeremylastname873]

The hammer’s impact caused significantly more localized distortion than generalized. Think about the challenge of trying to deliberately curl a 1” piece of steel with a hammer. With each blow, it would bend some nearly-measurable amount, and spring back. A daunting task indeed. 😂

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Thanks very much. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@calebfaires9782]

Always for get y'all's season are flipped in the southern hemisphere lol. Hard to imagine it being summer in December when I'm having to scrape my windshield every morning.

[@RCake]

Your grandpa would be way proud of you 🤩😍🤩

[@Destros2ndone]

a desk vice (or third hand) is always a good thing to have made mine out of three aluminium bars, spring loaded so, no screwing arround ;)

[@trumanhw]

I've grown to really like your content. And you really do a lot with a little.

[@merc7105]

Thanks for the videos this year. Have a good Chrissy. Cheers.

[@MedicMainDave]

I am excited about the fact that there are actually still people out there who use the original anycubic photon!

[@Awrethien]

Yep still using mine here. Use it until it breaks, fix the broken part with something better. Why mine has a monochromatic replacement screen, and a replacement noctua fan to the air filter. All that's broken on the original so far. Now the ender 3 I have... that things a Frankenstein lmao.

[@MedicMainDave]

@@Awrethien my anycubic mega zero is also a ship of theseus. Originally it didn't have a heated bed, so I just retrofittet one :P

[@troyam6607]

Just a tip, it could be your camera speed but IMO your speeds when chamfering and drilling with larger drills needs to be way slower, itll stop the chatter and give your more control. Brilliant Vice cobba.

[@artisanmakes]

Theres a bit of chatter but the torque on the motor drops off a cliff below 500ish rpm, so for the larger drills I have to run them faster than i'd like to keep them cutting

[@infrabread]

Somehow I forgot that you are on a different hemisphere to me, and was confused when you mentioned "heatwave".

[@a-k-jun-1]

Same here for a second, central Alaska

[@howder1951]

Yes in my hemisphere, it would have bent in the opposite direction.

[@alankeith7866]

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!!

[@WaddedBliss]

Excellent work.

[@connahjones8178]

One more video until 200!! Congrats!

[@notoioudmanboy]

Little Bunnings cast iron vise is surprisingly good with a little TLC. First one I ever owned. bit of a clean up and some soft jaw attachments. Mine came quite parallel. Solid place to mount it did me for quite a while before I got a proper bench.

[@johnmoore1025]

Merry Christmas to one and all

Very nice project. Well done as always. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!🎄

[@richardandrews6754]

great video, have a fab Christmas and new year

[@rjordans]

If you're looking for a vice to hold pcbs you may look at the stickvise design. Should be easy to replicate with some scraps

[@mundaryus]

It looks so professional

[@stringmanipulator]

awesome work as always

[@chriscorrigan7420]

Maaaaate!!! You need saw of some type, so do I. You do well with a sweatsaw. Elbow bustin' bastards of thing's but they do the job. That's quite a nice little vice you have there. All the best for the silly season to you.

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Looking good.

[@jrkorman]

I think the "old man" would be proud of your work. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@PatHardesty-q5g]

I like that project, I want to make one , I have a good size mill & lathe but I want it Precision . I don’t have a Surface grinder but I’ll try to get it close . I need one to put in my 6in mill vice for angles on small parts

[@allangoodger969]

Mate. I am hoping Santa brings you an LPG/Oxy set so you can cut and hot rivet stuff. The advantage of hot riveting the shaft expands to the hole size. May your crissy be a happy and bushfire free.

[@SvWarfield]

It wouldn't be an Artisan Makes video if he didn't have to cut a thick piece of steel by hand with a hacksaw. That said, we need to get this man a metal cutting bandsaw XD.

[@4GibMe]

NO We need to sit back and just enjoy the Video. It's his shop, and he does things his way. Never walk into someones shop and tell me how it should be. If you did that in my shop you would be nursing a black eye, a broken nose, with an impression of the side of the door embedded in the side of your head.

[@Horus9339]

She's a looker, great work once again. Leaving us on a cliff hanger, you swine. lol Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@Dreddip]

Somebody please get this guy a portaband.

[@komplikatorful]

Just an idea - wouldn't it be better if the moving jaw was "reversed"? Meaning the mechanism would be the same, but the thiner clamping piece would be on the back so it would do the "pulling" instead. That would make it less prone to bowing/stressing and should provide much better clamping situation? Anyway great vid and all the best to the new year - take care & don't stick you fingers in the running machinery 😎

[@mike9500]

way to GRIP the end of the year! ;)

[@alanclarke4646]

D'oh! 😂😂

[@ThatRobHuman]

Have a look at Chris Borge's 3D Printable Ball Vise.

[@pettere8429]

Am I the only one seeing a lopsided smiley face in the edge of the bench at around 3:30?

[@benni5941]

The bend in the steel could be due to the special percussive separation it went through.

[@hazza2247]

there is no chance that that hammer could bend steel that thick

[@Der_Ed]

You should collect the chips all year and melt them down into a chunk of mystery metal and do a mystery metal smithing project at the end of the year

[@alanclarke4646]

Isn't that what "Chinesium" is made from?

[@an2thea514]

@@alanclarke4646 Yes, that and Pig Metal.

[@timturner7609]

Don't blame the steel for bending when you sheared it off with big old wedge

[@blackoak4978]

And hit it repeatedly with a hammer...

[@PaleoWithFries]

1:54. It sure looks like it bent as you hammered it off.

[@UncleKennysPlace]

Yep. Once can bend things with a hammer, I've found.

[@jimscheltens2647]

I wonder how often you change hacksaw blades

[@alanclarke4646]

He's got it down to such a fine art, he's quicker than an F1 pitstop! 😂😂

[@alan-sk7ky]

Red loctite wouldn't have gone amiss in the rivet holes I think.

[@Handleyman]

Love your channel and always enjoy your projects. So why didn’t you heat the rivets up? Even just a little. The join would have been infinitely stronger. Anyway, great work and your grandfather would be proud! Merry Christmas. Gippsland.

[@michaelwaldron3222]

Wouldn’t it have been better to have countersunk the underside to accept more of the rivet shanks expanded by hammering? Then you could have flycut that surface too!

[@shoumikahmed6373]

I am wondering what tools your great grandfather had and what tools you have.

[@MrCirqueMaudlin]

OK now i know he is messing with us.... I was shur he was about to break out some sort of powered saw when he said wait....also this confirms my suspension that he is secretly training for a arm wrestling competition....

[@wombora]

Shows how he hammered that piece of the bigger piece of steel - oh yeah the bow in the steel is definitely 100% from the cold rolling process XD

[@hazza2247]

those hammer hits could never bend steel that thick

[@artisanmakes]

A heat treat wouldn’t be able to bend it back if it was bent from hammering

[@Blue.4D2]

⭐🙂👍

[@TheMadJoker87]

3:02 Nope! you used a chisel to finish the cut on the previous video and you bent it that way, i was screaming at the screen when i saw you do that xD the fact that it straightened after normalizing further proves this, if the bend was a result of releasing stress you would have to "add" stress to bend it back

[@artisanmakes]

No, a heat treat wouldn’t be able to bend it back if it was bent from hammering. Thats permanent deformation that would be done with a hammer and a hammer that size would not be able to bend it that much.

[@artisanmakes]

FWIW i did a heat treat deep dive a while back (and we did a similar experiment in uni) where I milled off a huge chunk off one side of a piece of cold rolled steel and observed it warp upwards. Applying heat to one end and letting slowly progress upwards had it warp further until the part was fully red where it then returned to its original flat state.

[@HouseholdDog]

I guess you trying to peel it off the block, like a bannana skin, didn't bend the steel?

[@trevorpom]

That bow would have been formed when you were hammering it off the original block.

[@artisanmakes]

A heat treat wouldn’t be able to bend it back if it was bent from hammering

[@JamesP_TheShedShop]

Right on 👍🏻. Come on VEVOR send this fellow a bandsaw!

[@jaredwilliams5252]

Pounding it with a hammer to finish busting it of other piece probably didn’t help keep it straight 😂

[@jacehardin7828]

Good ole hacksaw never gets old, but someday he will get a bandsaw

[@thecatofnineswords]

I daresay that even if we all chipped in to buy him one, He'd still pull out the hacksaw to keep the channel honest.

[@Vikingwerk]

You gotta quit buying cold-rolled steel. Where I am, it costs more than hot rolled steel, so I was baffled when you used cold rolled to begin with, especially knowing how cold rolled will warp.

[@artisanmakes]

Look. I don't have much choice when buying metal. I am not a machinist and unless I buy 6m of metal I am stuck with buying cold rolled in thicker lengths. Where you are buying metal may be easy/cheap, where I am it is so expensive (and I cannot stress that enough). So no, I can not just buy any metal is any shape and size that I want. I know the issue with CRS, I just dont have much choice in the matter

[@suntzu6122]

Does your lathe automatically cut thread :0

[@Kineth1]

Most machinist lathes have a power feed function, you can set exactly how much the cutting tool moves for each revolution of the part. You just use a feed setting that matches your desired thread pitch.

[@OuroborosArmory]

The beating it off with a hammer might also have something to do with it…

[@jays_metalworks9399]

You bent that separating it

[@euclidallglorytotheloglady5500]

Pretty sure that "warp" was caused from the barbaric manner it was removed from the parent material.. but ok.

[@quadpop4643]

Mate you need a saw so bad jeez!

[@DolezalPetr]

You bent the steel while hammering it off, you can see it in the video.

[@artisanmakes]

No. If it was bent from the hammering the heat treat wouldn’t bend it back to what it was

[@thorloki5449]

How's your finger doing.

[@Brant92M]

Uses a hammer instead of a band saw This damn cold rolled steel keeps bending!

[@artisanmakes]

If that was the case the heat treat wouldn’t be able to bend it back solely from an anneal process

[@francescosirotti8178]

A nice project for the next year would be building a self-made bandsaw...

[@lolzlarkin3059]

Not a massive fan of these vices. And I'm not a big fan of how you are clamping with just the thin jaw. Id flip the moving part around and push from the back and just get a small pin or plate so the screw doesn't fall out, since it isn't taking any force.

Great Channel. However it's Great when you do projects, not build tools that you can buy cheaper, with way higher quality than you could ever produce in your shop. Example is I bought a 2 inch precision vice, tolerance at .0008CM for $60CDN on TEMU. The seller has vices up to 6 inch.
