[@caseycardwell3308]

This is incredible. I'd like to make one, but worry about the strength of the gears. How hard would it be to break?

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

Thanks for producing the plans. Between them, the video and the build article, the process is very clear. I'm in the middle of the build right now. I didn't see a way to contact you on your website so I came here. Unless I'm missing something, I think I found an error in your plans. The Parts 1 page shows the spindle measures 2 1/2" where it goes into the clear cover. Parts 5 gives the diameter of the hole in the clear cover as 2 3/4" which is the same as the outer diameter of the spindle. I had to remake the plexiglas cover. Thanks again.

[@criticallook1352]

Why two handles? Is there an advantage to having two handles, instead of using only one handle attached to the center gear? Any particular reason for there being 19 teeth on the gears, as opposed to any other number of teeth? :

[@stellarjayatkins4749]

My only critique is I don’t see the need or purpose for two handles, just the gears connecting the two shafts. The handles seem to almost collide when turning, and risk rapping your knuckles or just getting in the way. One handle seems perfectly sufficient.

[@Wordsnwood]

Wow this really grinds my gears... Next on "Miami Vise"... I'll show myself out, thanks.

Not bad but i like izzy swans quick vise the best

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice, I like the transparent plexi that allows you to see the gears in action!

[@jeffreycollins7297]

yeah it's very cool. i think the only way to make it better is custom colored lexan.

[@pizzamain5714]

This is the first time I’ve seen this guy and I love how all his machines are homemade. That’s freaking. AmaZing. LMG MOUNTED AND LOADED

[@Udi_Danino]

Let’s build a wooden vise. But before we start we are going to build a home made table saw/ band saw/ jointer/ belt sander,,, shall we begin? This guys level of engineering and problem solving is beyond amazing!

[@NikonErik]

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch . . . .

[@Blueshirt38]

Man, John, I really love these. You put so much thought into the design, and so much production into the process. Always a great product.

[@spiritburners]

I love this, I'm an Engineer with a carpentry as my hobby !! :-) This really appeals!!

[@pat_link_]

John looks great nice seeing the gear in action with the clear front

[@atefbelkahla]

hey John, why don't you mount one handle in the central gear instead of two handles on the side gears ? Amazing project, keep up with the good work

[@PaskMakes]

Awesome John! Love it! :)

[@leop9021]

I love your videos. Please don't get burned out on KZbin, because I know how much work making these videos is. Can't wait to purchase the plans. Thanks. Leo

[@tomdenny8507]

Possibly my favorite build of yours ever. Something about watching the gears go round and the other handle moving by itself. Great way to start 2019. Thank you for the video.

[@xenithorb]

Hi John, Thank you for this video. I appreciate you continuing to make videos like this despite the troubles you're going through that you've explained in your other videos. Sincerely, A fan

[@woodenwork]

Greetings from Russia. Loved your gear vise. I was making a vise with a wood screw. Now I want to make a fully wood vise with a gear. Thanks for the video.

[@richardhawkins2647]

I saw the guy's vid who makes these with a bike chain and wondered how long til someone makes one with gears. I wouldn't have thought ply gears would be strong enough, awesome build. I was impressed with your wooden engineer's vice, this goes to another level.

[@dienekes4364]

I can't wait to get (or build) a shop so I can build this vice. It really looks awesome!

[@benrudman3917]

John you are nothing shy of pure genius.

[@thomasmarliere2505]

Wonderfully made John, I love it ! So cool to see the inside mechanism. Thank you once again !

[@gian3458]

John is back! He's goin fucken ham back there with all of these project vids

[@BOCraftsman]

I have been watching your progress on Instagram and was very excited to see the video. Great video and vice! Thanks for sharing John!

[@BOCraftsman]

First comment, interesting. I didn’t intend to be, just so happened

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

To sort of quote Jack Nicholson in "As Good As it Gets" - " You make me want to be a better Woodworker"....... Brilliant design John.... I made another pair of your compact compass this morning...I give them away to fellow woodworkers

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Very cool design John

Exceptional work John, a simple, elegant solution to a vexing problem. Thank you for sharing your great thinking and hard work, brilliant, thanks again

[@greglautz8470]

Although I understand you have many years in the construction and Building Trades, I always respect a man that has the mind of an engineer and can think up plans and execute them as smoothly as you do

[@RiccardoPrezioso]

The adjustable vise was fantastic! But this one is AWESOME!! Still watching for something more "fast to assembly" for my workshop! Good job, like always!

[@geraldnovakowski6652]

John, incredible build! I’m just a beginner wood worker and am always amazed at what you can build with wood. Your videos have inspired me to try new things. Coming from a family of woodworkers I never really started working with wood until recently. I’m the mechanical one of the family! Now that I’m in my mid 50s, I am starting to appreciate wood working more and more and because of your videos I look forward to building all kinds of things. I have definitely made my mistakes and what a great way to learn. Knowing that the best wood workers even make mistakes gives me a lot more confidence and I keep going. Thanks for all the videos and I look forward to seeing more. THANKS!

[@VROne111]

Always coming up with ingenious and unique shop aids is your specialty John

[@Aprendiz-de-Marceneiro]

Provavelmente o melhor projeto de bancada que eu já vi! Parabéns.

[@RyanMonty]

This. Is. Phenomenal!!! When I saw that you handmade the gears I was sold. Awesome!

[@garendasosro3686]

I have been think of how vise moving instantaneously and consistently, but you have done it. Bravo 👍👍👍

[@ceculver1]

I have made gears before and you too had the same trouble I did. I found that if you use a drill bit the same diameter as the gear and basically do everything else the same with disk sander and clean up it is faster and more uniform. Really cool idea and now I need to make my own.

[@sapelesteve]

Great creative work as always John! The use of that plastic cover is pure genius!

[@Popeye-yb3ct]

Holy moly! I see some wood gears in my near future. Thank you Mr Heisz!

[@alfredpennyworth1441]

Excellent build. Showing off the gears was a good call. Great job.

[@smitcher]

John this is without doubt the coolest of all the projects that you have ever done. Absolutely fantastic...

[@maximeboissonneault6203]

Matthias will be jealous of all those gears ;) very ingenious

[@Wen6543]

Lately Matthias videos aren´t as good as John who is increasing the quality.

[@Crewsy]

Mathias who? The guy who can’t do any projects anymore because his elbow hurts?

[@Ramog1000]

​@@Crewsy hey you know sometimes you have to stop because your body tells your to, or do you work your body till its so fucked up that you need some kind of surgery? Also I think it was his hands and not his elbow, common problem with woodworkers.

[@KarlBunker]

Very cool project! Showing the gears in action with the acrylic is a great touch.

[@waynecreech]

That is a really cool Vice, The clear front panel makes it even cooler! thanks John.

[@woodworks3585]

One of the Better Vice Designs I have seen on youtube. Nicely done John......

[@tuftoro7111]

Very nice job!

[@scottsimpey2965]

That’s awesome John. My sister got me that Makita cordless router for Christmas and the little bit that I have used it so far I have loved it, that thing is awesome and it’s so nice not being tethered or tied down with a cord.

[@richardcreese]

Clicked on this thinking it was made by CNC, impressed it was all by hand. Proper job.

[@jlf1430]

John, that is awesome, really looks simple from the outside looking in. Another job well done. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@NV..V]

Fantastic job John. Another clever way to skin the proverbial cat! Thank you for continuing to post. Simper Fidelis

[@bucknaked31]

Awesome project, John! More of this, please!

[@jayhitek]

I could watch the gears move all day long. Love the design and implementation.

[@jeffforbes3772]

Always a pleasure and a learning experience watching your videos John! Thanks and have a great year!

[@murphymmc]

That's a great build John, practical on a lot of levels.

[@jbb5470]

John, another outstanding project. The level of detail is first class, very professional and easy to follow! I am continually amazed by your level of craftsmanship. I guess this provides me something to shoot for in my work. Thanks again for your work and great videos!

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Pretty cool build.

[@derekstouder7423]

I really like this idea! I just bought the plans, and I'm thinking I may scale this up and rotate it 90 degrees to see if this works well as a way to keep a leg vise parallel. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@clydedecker765]

Love this build, John. Made to fill your day or two ... But definitely designed to give one a feeling of accomplishment for sure. Wracking happens even in the best and this one will definitely contend with the best for least wrack.

[@AutotechWoodworking]

If those were timing gears in an automotive engine, especially an overhead cam engine, they would be called idler gears. Nice setup John.

[@croyce7699]

Pretty sure they're referred to as idler gears regardless of their industrial utilisation.

[@lynnlard5531]

@@croyce7699, Yes.

[@difalkner]

That's the best project I've seen come out of your shop - love it!

[@NickSilcox3]

Even though I don’t do woodworking, or have a shop, these videos are very fascinating and learn a lot! gives me some excellent ideas for when I do get a shop. Keep it up john👍

[@DIYBuilds]

very nice indeed

[@stevenash2933]

John this is fantastic! I really look forward to Sunday and your next vid

[@jaya3209]

Really nice work John. Thanks. A note on acrylic, it's generally not a good idea to use countersunk screws as the plastic is prone to crazing and cracking. The stresses under a countersunk screw head will do this if overtightened. Another approach, if you want the screw heads flush to the surface, is to counterbore and use pan head or button head hardware. Again, very nice!

[@RickMcQuay]

Enjoyed watching you crank out another cool project John.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Rick :)

[@tmmtmm]

"crank out". I see what you did there

[@EYALAVRAHAMI]

Love it! As always - simple and elegant in a way that makes you wanna build it

Great project John. Most impressed. Great video as well.

[@dennisseemann571]

Great project! and I believe drilling the holes after making it round was the correct way to go, I believe having a hole in the end of the piece when you try to mount it on the lathe would have been far more problematic than drilling holes in a round piece of wood. Keep up the great work, I love to watch your stuff!
