Old Style Vice - Extremely Rare to Find so I Made One

[@PaskMakes]

Pask Makes Bondi Bond: paskmakes.com/boni-bond/ I've been working out the details of this project for a couple of years. I kept putting it off because I knew it was going to take a while with filming all the steps and I knew there would be a fair gap between uploads. I decided to just get on with it as it's what I really wanted to make. As well as thoroughly enjoying the build I'm super happy with the outcome. Hope you like it too. :) If you're interested you can find my 2nd channel here www.youtube.com/@PaskMade

[@Theexplorographer]

I know what I would like to see you build. A basic forge and see you start to recycle all this wasted metal.

[@Desmond.the.Moonbear]

You can put a magnet in the loose tommy thing, so you don't loose it in the shop. love the long format video, don't cut it in parts! ❤

[@NathanNostaw]

I can only speak for myself, but projects over numerous uploads is perfectly ok. Even with other projects mixed in. Just make sure you finish the project, I hate seeing a great build only to never see the finished product. Maybe that's because I never finish anything and I know the pain. :)

[@alexrains1893]

Hi Neil, I was thinking perhaps an international cross promotion could be a good idea: BLONDI-BOND

[@Zogg1281]

That was an awesome build and the wait was well worth it!! Re attaching the vice to your work bench, when you made the bench I know that you left the narrow sections so that they could be lifted out for clamping parts. If you have another piece of the wider sections of bench, you could permanently attach the vice to it. When you need the vice, you would pull out the "plain section" and place the "vice section" in it's place. This would also mean that you would be able to put the vice anywhere along the length of the bench. If that doesn't make sence, I'll try to work out a better way to explain it 😂

[@sk8infreek]

Please keep doing videos in one single part. I'm sure most would agree that we would rather wait for a long video rather than having to wait for more parts! Such a cool vice!

[@PaskMakes]

I think I will. I've done a few 2 part videos in the past but I always prefer to finish the video in one. This one had so much work which meant I didn't get a video for a long time but it's probably a one off anyway. :)

[@_thegrayman]

Agreed 👍 Fun project !

[@williamellis8993]

I agree

[@eoincolfer63]

Agreed!

[@_D_P_]

Agreed. Unless its a REALLY big project.

[@bradgray6093]

Since I prefer KZbin over TV, my vote is definitely for longer complete-project videos. Now, that's easy for me to say, since I don't have to do the editing. I just want you to know they're appreciated. I've been a fan for many years. Please keep up the good work!

[@irishwristwatch2487]

A 50 minute vid from Pask is a gift, massive fan of the long form.

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@سعیدامیرلو]

Hello, dear teacher, I saw your clip from Iran, and first I will say that I am a tool lover and I think we are the same age, and then I will say that I was very depressed because I had a stroke, but I enjoyed and became happy after seeing this art show of yours. ❤❤❤❤

[@TheMadJoker87]

i`ve said it many times before and i'll keep saying it, this is one of the best maker channels on youtube, from the ideas to the execution and video editing, everything is top notch

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - I appreciate that! :)

[@Eli-mj3dj]

2:25 Is a masterpiece of a scene. Never seen that angle before

[@CptSpaceToaster]

The angle at 2:22 is INCREDIBLE. Thanks for taking us into the lathe!

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you like it! It turned out better than I thought it would when I had the idea. :)

[@maciejpietrak3566]

Yes, that was mesmerising

[@ArmchairDeity]

When I saw it I thought to myself "OK that's a lathe shot that I have never seen before, I love it, and it shows some really important stuff that you never actually see from the inside because everyone is busy shooting from the outside. ;)

[@Bloodray19]

Honestly, that looks so professional, I wouldn't believe it was homemade if I hadn't just watched the entire video. I truly admire your skills, you are amazing.

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Wow! I always think you could never surpass your previous projects, but you prove me wrong EVERY TIME! I just love the attitude of "can't buy it then I will have to make it"

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Alan! Glad you enjoying the projects! :)

[@pabrowncoatbrewer7154]

"The welds are dodgy!" Anyone who tells you that should try making their own vise from scratch. Great work!

[@sisyphushappyxvx]

Excellent work, Neil. As usual. FWIW, I like the long form, full-length videos.

[@lerikhkl]

It's a shame they feel like 5 minutes though! I need a three hour video AT LEAST

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

Just started the vid, but that shot at 2:22!!!! 🙌🙌🙌. Thanks Neil.

[@Violaetor]

I've never skipped a second in any of your videos, 10 minutes or an hour, doesn't make a difference. They're always enjoyable and never a dull moment. You keep making the videos the way you want, we'll keep watching. You haven't steered us wrong yet. You're delightfully clever, humble and humorous, a true treasure in the Maker's community.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much and thanks for keep coming back! :)

[@peteward6478]

Here,here!😊

[@mhbh1979]

I even skip back to see bits again. Truly excellent work. Reminds me of a streamlined tool and cutter grinder vice. Beautiful

[@eduardouk]

This is easily the 10th time I have watched this. It is so great to know that there are people like myself who can put the effort in to making incredible things. You sir and an inspiration :)

[@SouthOfGate]

A stunning piece and I really appreciate this long video of the full project. Awesome!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! :)

[@0zyris]

I am a Blender 3D artist with a fascination for machines and robots. When I look at work like this I can almost imagine you building one of my "inventions" in real life! You are a true craftsman!

[@r.d.1991]

This was a joy to watch. Superb. Turned out beautifully. 👍👍 Liked the long video.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@simonlove99]

For someone who has never watched anything like this before, I'm awestruck at the content, delivery, quality and craftsmanship involved. Subscribed as soon as the video concluded. Great evening's entertainment. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@allenwilson9656]

I personally like the longer videos not a 3 part series Vise turned out great as well as the color 👌

[@JeffRL1956]

I'll never make one and I'll never have the machinery and tools -- or ability -- to make one, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing it.

[@jakebrakejunky10-4]

I know I'm not the only one in the comments with this sentiment. Pask, it wouldn't matter if your videos were 2+ hours long. We will still be here watching them all. Your attention to detail is why you should keep it in one video and make it as long as you want. Trust me, we will still watch them.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Pask, I lv watching people make things on their Lathe. Ur Creativity, Effectively in making ur Old Style Vice is out of this WORLD.. CONGRATULATIONS. have a beer on me..

[@ianvicedomini2648]

I'm almost speechless, what a superb little vice. Thoroughly enjoyed the video Neil and as always, so fascinating to watch. I love the many angles the vice can position in and a really fantastic design indeed. See you on the next one my friend.

[@PaskMakes]

I'm super happy with it Ian - glad you like it too! :)

[@TheLizardOfOz]

I am in awe of your skills. Whether timber, concrete, or metal (of all kinds, sheet metal included) you turn out incredible builds. You are THE most versatile & competent maker I have ever seen.

[@MegaDoug1979]

I'm always blown away by your ingenuity and you sometimes breeze pass little ways you solve problems. Like at 8:40 when you used the shim to make an interference fit for the drill press. Whether it be wood or metal, your methods are just so awesome.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - glad you find the videos helpful. :)

[@shanebrbich5698]

Neil! Without a doubt you have become one of the best craftsman on YT! Your video editing and continuity are amazing! Keep on keeping on sir

Thanks very much Shane! :)

[@bobweiram6321]

I absolutely love your projects! They're practical and embody the DIY spirit while still paying attention to aesthetics.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Bob - great to hear that I'm achieving what I set out to. :)

[@jaymoeller647]

Beautiful vice! Watching you engineer, machine and build it start to finish in one video is preferable. Thanks.

[@hexa-b]

One of my favorite of your videos. I also prefer the full length video, but i appreciate multi-part videos as well. Beautifully done. Cheers.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - it was definitely one of my favourite ones to make. :)

[@GeeksWoodShop]

I"m just absolutely floored at how amazing this vise is, and that you made it completely from scratch. No words to express, but gushing admiration still.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Just brilliant and top notch workmanship as usual. I prefer the video in one episode. Just a tip when boring, I was taught not to go up in drill sizes in small graduations as it puts a lot of stress and heat on the outer tips of the cutting edges. Better to go up in larger steps, say 7mm pilot hole then jump up to a drill size where the web at the tip is just smaller than the pilot dimension, maybe 12 or 14mm and as the hole gets bigger reduce the size of the steps a little so after 12mm you might go 18 or 20mm. When I’m boring 25mm I will use 3 steps or 4 at a maximum. As the size goes up, the speed comes down. I hope this helps. Cheers, Stuart. Canberra.

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Don't care whether they are long or short videos as long as you keep making them. Cheers

[@NemoA90]

No one takes "need a tool, make a tool" quite to the extreme Pask does XD

[@PaskMakes]

Even though I'll get plenty of use out of the vice it was more that I just really wanted to make it. :)

[@waynegurnham4764]

Saw this comment and wanted to chime in with inheritance machining but was clearly beat to it.

[@andrew32155]

Holy hell... 😮 That is beautiful! It reminds me of my grandfather, a mechanical engineer who built airplanes in his spare time, and created/ developed some of the very first "Numerically Controlled Mills" after WWII. What we call CNC today. And my great-grandfather, a watchmaker. Both of them, if they "needed a tool," they often just went and fabricated it.

[@dougggiereid]

Shoo Neil you keep finding ways to outdo yourself. It's truly remarkable. Not only was this build absolutely brilliant but as usual your videos are entertainment of the highest order for me. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea but it's right up my alley. I am very glad you released it as a single video and I did not even realise it was so long. In fact I felt slightly disappointed that it was all over. You truly are a master of many crafts. Woodworking, metalworking, designing, videography and editing. You are by far my favourite KZbin channel and when your notification pops I drop everything I'm doing to watch it.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Doug! That's great to hear, I really was a bit worried it was too long. Glad you enjoy all of the videos! :)

[@recurvestickerdragon]

what a beautiful little thing! you should see how precisely square and perpendicular you can get the base so it can be used in conjunction with other precision tools, such as holding an angle while sliding along a straight surface for knife sharpening, and things of that nature

[@georgepattinson1036]

Loved this build Pask, happy to watch longer videos. Thank you, keep making !

Thanks George - Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Very well done! Your filming was amazing. The vise looked giant! It is always cool when you give it a go and work through problems! A casting video would be awesome!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Marc. I actually filmed this on a new camera so I was still getting used to it throughout the project. :)

[@AndrewCalhoun]

I am always floored by the sheer breadth of your skills. So many people would be so happy to come anywhere near the level of aesthetics OR the level of functionality of your work, whereas your work has both in spades. As always, thank you so much for sharing.

[@ElEnanoAr]

Everytime you upload a video I say "oof, it's too long, I'll watch it in parts" then I go I watch it straight from start to finish ha ha. It amazes me your abillity to do everything you want to do, I wish I could do the same one day.

[@PaskMakes]

Haha - thanks for sticking with them. Just give it a go and give it a good shot. And have fun with it. :)

[@pferguson2212]

Neil, yet another masterpiece! A truly functional and gorgeous finish! I adore your videos no matter the frequency so keep making what you want the way you want and I will be there to watch each and every one of them!

[@etcher6841]

Here's a suggestion for a tool to make: a Swiss army knife. Maybe not like the biggest ones, but sounds to me like it would have a few nice challenges along the way !

[@psilverz4848]

a multitool

[@seanstump8665]

He mentioned that the grinder is designed for knives and I see a lot of steel chips in this vid😃

[@tonyc.4528]

Long videos are great, details are great and machining is right up my alley!!!!

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Thank you, Neil. I've watched a whole heap of your videos over the years and loved every one. This video though: the welding glove to keep chips off the hands - absolute gold. How did I not think of that? The vise itself is a work of art. Loved the one-piece video - I too don't like multipart videos as much. Brilliant brain you've got on you! 👍Thanks

I really like your videos. There are few channels that I watch without speeding up the video, and yours is one of them. I like seeing every detail and listening to every word you say. Your videos are all very instructive, and this is another instructive video that makes us want to put into practice the machines and instruments we want, even if they are not available for sale.

[@venlanen]

I love Pask makes, but KZbin is making watching these videos pretty painful. 30 second ads every 2,5 minutes and the subtitles always disappear with ads, so you have to restart KZbin again to get them back. 😢 Awesome project, Neil, I wish I could have enjoyed it more.

[@WeerdWulf]

I only had two 30-second ad breaks and both were skippable after 5-seconds

[@darrellbedford4857]

​@@WeerdWulfOnly had two as well and could be skipped. As far as making two short videos instead of one long video, forget it. By the time the second one came out people would have forgotten the contents of the first.
