very nice vise! Also nice sharp plane. My grade 9 wood shop teacher would give a whack upside the head if we put the plane upright on the bench. Lay it on its side for the blades sake.

I like the dual handles that can be use from either side of the table. There would be one change I would make is that both handles are in sync. That is my OCD kicking in.

[@noaquie]

@@DIYBuilds Make the handles shorter. A little less the half the distance. I think your handles are to long anyway. But then again it's your project.

[@JonnRamaer]

Perfect Idea. I'd prefer one handle, but I understand the convenience you made it for, so good job dude!

[@mr.quisizyx7545]

Nice. Neat project. Looks good. A few of thangs I noticed I would have done different. 1: Set the handles so they were angled in instead of out when the clamp is closed. This way you don't run into them if you walk by close to the bench. You would not see them if you were carrying something blocking your view of them as you walk by. If you don't remember your leg could snag a clamp handle (from experience something I seem to have a tendency to do). Also, 2: I would have used ebony for the gears. Ebony is a hardwood and has natural oils in the wood so to a certain extent naturally lubricate the gears (although if the gears didn't fit tight on the bearings it would make gluing them to the bearings problematic). . Besides, it would make a contrast to the other wood giving it more of an artistic look Finally, 3: I would use spring steel tension pins instead of cut off aluminum nails. Given the length/leverage of the long handles I would think you could shear the aluminum pins if you put some umph into it.

[@TheCyberHippie]

To make an extra wide vice, I think I could figure out about a dozen easier ways to do it that would require fewer and less expensive tools and a whole lot less mucking around. For one, I'd use aluminum heavy gauge L beam to distribute pressure from the center and dispense with all the wooden gears.

[@DIYBuilds]

I look forward to your build video.

[@ensen89]

now you need to build a roubo style workbench from local and exotic hardwood, which is pretty enough to deserve having such a nice vice on it :D

[@DIYBuilds]

The bottom prevents racking when clamping work along the top only. I dont see how the number of handles effects safety.

with contact cement i recommend having a decent roller to push the type of material down to get rid of any air bubbles and then clamping i use that not only for homemade counter tops to leather in-lining for craft jewelry boxes or other hard wood projects. The key is to brush both sides and wait till it has a good tacky on both sides if you see strings it is not ready. Once it is still tacky and not stringy slap them together roll and then clamp. you will get max hold guaranteed.

Beautiful... Only thing I would've done different is add a sacrificial surface to the top in case of 'accidents'... Something that could easily be replaced by screws / caps, or just using dowels to hold it in place. Good to keep it flush, but simple to swap out in case you cut into it. Or, even a metal top...

[@patrickhalseth1632]

Coming from the perspective of an old cabinet maker, I have notes. 1. When face gluing sheets of plywood, just clamp it up with strongbacks, screws are a liability during machining and if something happens that's so catastrophic the glue joint fails, no amount of screws is going save you. 2. The knuckle of your handle should be solid maple or similar. The repetitive torsional load on the plywood will probably chowder out the hole in short order. Also add an o- ring to the ends of your handles so when they flop from end to end they have a soft landing. 3. The inability to tighten the screws independently is going to be limiting in certain situations. Maybe build some throw into the shaft if the center gear so it could be disengaged as needed? 4. This is more of an engineering thing so I admittedly speak with less authority but in low speed, high radial load applications I think bushings are preferable to bearings. And cheaper. Having said all that, great video and cool concept, thanks for sharing!

[@Anyone700]

I was thinking a lot of the same. This is an application where a 3D printed part, printed in the correct way, would be far surperior. With 3D printing you can have a continuous grain around the handle. Granted you would need to select the correct plastic, PC or PETG should work well in this application. As far as the bushings, he is using very large ball bearings. Any advantage you would get from plain bearings would likely be removed from not having continuous lubrication. The more egregious mistake here is that there are no ways. Having 3 screws, even if perfectly timed, does not make up for having proper ways. If he put 4x 30mm steel rods with 100MM bushings it would be much stiffer.

I like your vice. I have a Lie-Nielsen chain vice. It originally had coupling nuts like you use. They seized on the Acme thread screws.

It may work out anyway.

[@RustyCarnahan]

Love everything about it, and I may have to build one myself. The only thing I may change is go to a single handle, driving the top center idler gear, because I'm afraid the two handles on either end would get in my way. Overall though, 10/10 on the build.

[@DIYBuilds]

I was going to do that but thought the convenience of one on each end of a long vise would be better. If you do it please email me a picture of it.

[@dumbstupidfalk]

The first thing I thought too. Even mechanically speaking this would be a much better solution: center gear driving the three screws allows for an equal length gear train to each of the screws, which means equal amount of backlash and load on the gears.

[@draganarc0131]

DIY Builds I was waiting for you to make the Center gear disengage so the vice could be canted slightly to grip slightly tapered or odd shaped projects. I have a commercial made one that’s chain drive and has that feature, very handy!!!!!

@@christophermoore6110 No. The teeth of the wheels will last longer if there is less friction. Metal, wood, plastic.... without lubrication the wear will be more than without.

@@christophermoore6110 I think I know what you mean. These gears are not used in a mechanism that is under heavy load, a lot of the time. They only turn when the vise is being used.
