Quick Release Vice Build - The Mechanism

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
When I stumbled across this type of quick release vice I was very intrigued by how it worked. After some digging around I understood it and decided to make one for myself. It took a couple of years to get around to it, I needed a little time to tinker so I was waiting for the right opportunity and I ended up forgetting about it. This week I finally gave it a crack and it was a project that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The next video will be the vice build using this mechanism.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

So beautiful. Wow. Whoever came up with that simple and amazingly effective design deserves at least 8 medals.

[@keiboman]

That is SUPER cool! Your ingenuity never ceases to delight! Anyone who asks "why not just buy one?" has clearly missed the entire point! Keep doing what you do! Your videos are greatly appreciated!

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much Mike! :)

[@TheSteve157]

Absolutely agree. Great video 👍

[@dillonfelts4020]

Exactly! Why buy something if you can make it

[@lloydrmc]

Watching the other video where he builds it into a vise mechanism, even if you could find one with approachong that quality, (which is doubtful), it would cost a fortune.

[@timdoyon1964]

Your ingenuity, your workmanship and your teaching style all together make you one of the best “makers” on KZbin. I really enjoy your videos. If I weren’t a 60 year old man living in Oklahoma, USA, I’d apply to be your apprentice. I mean, I’d sweep the floor, take out the trash, make coffee; and all the while, I’d be learning from the best! That was an amazing build as always! ✌️

[@clutions]

Beautiful job! "Why make it???" ... --- "Because you can!!!!!!!"

[@keirfarnum6811]

That’s a really clever little mechanism. Simple but functional. Thanks for sharing!

[@lovefist208]

some delicate welding right there, nice job

[@metaspencer]

Great to see your process and hear your reasoning!

[@eubiov8]

Absolutely incredible. Marvelous job. I'm pretty surprised of how it turned out

[@KarlBunker]

A fiendishly clever mechanism, and a very nice implementation on your part. I look forward to the full vice build.

[@sebastianocano3289]

This kind of videos are amazing you use simple tools to do a magnificent job and help a lot of guys that can't buy this vices like me. Great work and keep up!!!

[@davidtowsey9047]

Fantastic!! You definitely have a keen eye for solving and producing what is a unique item. Great job.

[@peterpe5851]

About a year ago I finally built this quick release vise. I can't begin to tell you how accomplished I felt. Since than it's source of my pride and use it every time I step into my shop. Thank YOU!

[@billwessels207]

You really do know how to use your noggin. Way to go, a relatively simple solution to an otherwise expensive proposition. Please keep up the good work and videos.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Bill! :)

[@billwessels207]

You are very welcome sir!

[@jamie7364]

really appreciate you taking the time to make the video and explain how the mechanism works. fascinated and looking forward to trting to make one myself.

[@vaulthecreator]

That's pretty damn cool. People never cease to amaze me with their ingenuity.

[@paulangeli9710]

Wow! That's impressive engineering! Excellent video! !

[@DrCRAZYde]

Nothing more to say ;)

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

So simple but so great? they always say that the simple things are the best and you have just proven that. Great idea well executed.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you John! :)

[@Estebansenseis]

AWSOME!! Thanks for sharing and (really) giving us light on how it works.

[@thomasmarliere2505]

It's a pleasure to discover ingenious mechanisms like this one. Very instructive video, thank you Neil !

[@theeastman9136]

Great! Just what I needed for the community workshop we're putting together. You know, lots of enthusiasm and no budget. Your vise mechanism is just the ticket. Thanks mate!

[@MatthewBuntyn]

I wondered how that type of vice worked. Good stuff

[@jdog4534]

Good job! That's awesome!! It's a project that I had out some thought into, based on a split nut but it's been on a back burner for many years. Thanks for sharing.

[@kriss667]

The fun from making something that could be bought is priceless. I recently made and oil lamp from a nut, a piece of cord and a jar lid, then used the flame to generate soot on a piece of glass, which I then took off and mixed with the oil i used in the lamp. And I had black paint for my small wood piece. All that while a bottle of speedball archival grade black ink was standing on a shelf one meter away. But I had fun.

[@738polarbear]

I really enjoy this guys videos . he always has something different from woodwork to metalwork and blademaking . he is very well rounded .

[@nathansmith7208]

I'm currently attempting this mechanism and vice myself. Thank you for the awesome instruction. I can't wait to be using my own hand made quick release vice.

[@l213112502]

amazing understanding of how mechanisms work - you make it look simple

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Pretty awesome design and build ! I liked the magnet idea and all of the engineering you put into the build

[@jameshowlet5597]

Ptff!!!! Wow!!! This mechanism is just amazing!!! You did a great job there Neil!!! Marvellous.

[@gungan]

At the beginning of the video I did not know where you wanted to go but the mechanism is amazing, good job!

[@berniesr]

Very well thought out. Well done

[@RTOHIO]

Wonderful home engineering. Incredible. I hope to copy and adapt to my current woodworking vise, if I ever get a lull in my current projects, ha. Thanks for sharing

[@terryevans6625]

Ingenious, that's all I've got to say. I too love making my own tools so you can bet I'll be making a vice similar to yours. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@lawrencehud]

Years ago I picked up a 12" craftsman vise with that very mechanism. Your attention to detail is wonderful. Great job.

[@IROCKID]

I can’t wait to see part two! This was really cool!

[@coopertichelbaut1231]

You always manage to explain the technical in an easy to understand way. Cheers, I love your work and how inspired I get watching you. On to step two.

[@ejtakach]

I can just imagine the dreams you had while working through this one! Well done mate!

[@BernhardHofmann]

I saw this video a while back and didn't really give it much thought. Today I watched the second part and I was gobsmacked that your vice *automatically* released and fastened! So of course I had to come watch this. What an amazing mechanism. Thank you so much for showing how it works and how to make it. Simply amazing.

[@EricChesek]

What a cool design! Using the magnet was a clever idea.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Eric! :)

[@richardharker2775]

Love the simplicity with effective operation.

[@CarlManson1983]

I hope you're getting the recognition you deserve in the KZbin maker community. What you create is far and away the most interesting to watch.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Carl! :)

[@FavioRamirez]

What a fantastic solve. enjoyed it tremendously

[@petermeiner3574]

Wow, thats a good Project for the Wintertime! Thanks!

[@adkchip1]

Pure dedication to a project! I agree, build before buy.

[@houtjeboom]

Spledit !!!! Realy great... no other words for that. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks for sharing and the explanation.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@forevachillin1]

Well done. I'm looking forward to part 2. I always enjoy your videos.

[@mmd1957]

Excellent bit of design and engineering!

[@12jeeplover]

absolutely brilliant. now I have an example to go off to make an actual quick release without reaching under the table or something. thank you

[@PathinAZ]

Only 1 word describes it. Awesome...Nice job!

[@jamesstoffel6835]

Thank you for the video. I'm in the process of designing my workbench and want some vices - and this is the perfect fit! Look forward to watching your other vids!

[@greyshades9114]

That is AMAZING! So cool! I so understand why you want to make these things. It is just really “gratifying”, especially if it turns out so well. Nice craftmanship

[@keirfarnum6811]

What a clever mechanism! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@michaellevi5569]

Beautiful work pask

[@ibrahimkocaalioglu]

Amazing engineering. Loved your improvement using magnet.

[@kalleklp7291]

I haven't got time to make such a vice yet. However, I always wondered how a quick release was actually looking from inside. You're a very talented guy with a lot of ingenuity. thanks for sharing this with us.

[@michaelbunn1465]

Ingenious! Great video, don't know what I enjoyed the most...watching or wondering how you did it.

Really nice mechanism. Thanks!

[@el737rs]

Brilliant. Goes directly to my TO-DO list. Subscribed!

[@strange-universe]

great reasoning/explanation and build!

[@WHCreations]

I'm the same, a tinkerer. Fantastic design and a great demo. Nice work

[@Medichell69]

Your tinkering is amazing, ignore the lazy trollers! I️ have learned a great deal from you! Thanks!

[@djohnson3678]

brilliant ingenuity , awsome vlog !

[@NathanDeger]

this is amazing man! going to have to make myself a new vice because the quick release would be amazing to have

[@LORENIFFT68]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I recently stumbled across a very old quick-release vice in poor condition. Your video helped me understand it enough to get it working again. I am very grateful.

[@dgoddard]

This is great! I've already watched the vise build and the wooden mechanism vid, which I plan to make. Thanks for this, it looks like a lot of fun.

[@JunkWorkshop]

Man! Really smart project! Look forward for the next part.

[@RiaanOliver]

Nice one mate, very cool. Can’t wait to see the completed vice.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Yes, very cool indeed! Very well explained and shown. Looking forward to the next video.

[@randomblockofwood]

That’s super awesome!!! Love the idea!! You could make plans!!! I would buy them

[@millsbrian55]

Very nice implementation of an interesting mechanism!

[@halfdanknudsen6055]

Great video. One of those mechanisms that you wonder how works when you see it all together but your steps make it make perfect sense. A suggestion for an update to this project would be to try making two blanks for the two halves and casting them yourself

[@FirstIrishKing]

Ingenious! Very good idea and an excellent presentation of its construction. Thank you, Mate.

[@robertomarques54]

Amazing mechanism. I love this!

[@captsanjayrao]

Fantastic work Mr. Pask. Impressive. I’m going to build one for my woodworking Table Tail Vise.

[@parkwayconcepts8758]

This is my favorite woodworking tip video of all time! Thank you!

[@allthings2allmen]

Pask! How can I say something about this that hasn't already been said? OK! I will suffice to say, Yes! I do think this is as cool as you do! Like the use of the rare earth mag too!

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you like it Jason! :)

[@chip2567]

it is nice how you go throw your thought process. i do not have the money to just buy tools. so i found out i like making tool to do what i want

[@akquicksilver]

Ver cool indeed! That is going into my have to build list.

[@paulodeoliveira3368]

Beautiful, simple and well made.

[@byronlovesey1290]

Great bit of kit been looking for a new vice

[@alfredesquer]

Absolutely magnifiscent! Great work. I wish I had a 10th of your imagination and skill!

[@FardeenIrani]

Very nice video, nicely explained and definitely I agree to making your tools than buying them, you get to understand so much about them.

[@parttroll1]

That’s an excellent build. Great imagination and problem solving.

[@sergiocantoli5783]

I'm impressed! I have need for tools that you make and definitely will replicate your design for my workshop. Many thanks!

[@Ollaris]

Great build! Looking forward to the part 2!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Sebastian! :)

[@rb2309]

Very clever! Congratulations!

[@philipswan1016]

That's very good you're thought process is very impressive

[@MrThomascd]

Very slick and smart fabrication. Thanks

[@btrswt35]

That's truly a ingenious design.

[@christophermartin2031]

Well mate thats bloody brilliant, im loving your talent to make these projects & the way you edit your video's. Keep up the good work 👌.

[@glennfelpel9785]

Definitely agree build if you can. What an ingenious device! Have never seen anything like it. This is one for my notebook. Thank you for sharing it.

[@osnelli]

Every vice should come along with this mechanism of yours

[@lowellhilbrands8435]

What a great idea Neal, you ought to design your own vise with that release in them. you are a genious in making a simple release like that. Great work. Lowell

[@briansadler5460]

Honestly dude as simple as this is. This is one of the cooles things Ive seen. Was just think how to make one of these. But didnt have one to take apart to even find out it worked exactly. Right on time man awesome video. Now a subscriber.

[@UrraSergio]

Beauty as a quick release mechanism.

[@lint2023]

Pask Makes cool mechanism! I can't wait to see more of it. I can't wait to see how heavy you can load it.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks! It will be interesting to see but I'm sure it will more than handle enough load. :)

[@MrZairul69]

Superb mate! You never fail to impress

[@eaidejawa]

Brilliant idea

[@DenvyLarson]

Thank You for your thoughtful gesture. This instructional video helped me understand how the mechanism actually works and functions in the wood shop. I enjoy making my own tools and this will definitely be an improvement over the 3 vices presently stationed in my small shop. I have located the position of the new quick release vice. at the end of my DIY shop bench behind the table saw, which doubles as an out-feed table. Thanks again. Intrigued, and committed.

[@RenatoArena]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@738polarbear]

That is well engineered and well explained and presented .

[@frankturner9791]

Awesome! buying one just wouldn’t be the same as making your own and you learn a lot in the process. Great job!
