I still prefer the moxon. It clamps at each end rather than just in the centre, it allows you to cut up at an angle due to the chamfered front and there is no bulky handle in front of the workpiece. Each to his own, I suppose. Keep up the good work David, you're an inspiration!
I bought a 1" thread box around 8 or 9'years ago. I only bought it because the 1 1/2" box was out of stock at the time. I forgot to re order the larger thread box, a great shame as it was priced at £15.45 at the time. A similar tool is now four times the price. Wages are decreasing yet, tool prices are rocketing. Not so economical anymore. Interesting video though, handy vice for a small workshop.
I really enjoyed your video David on the moxon vice and shoulder vice which I think would be the handiest yo use. Also I’ve seen the thread making tool her in the states but I forgot the cost but it’s a cool tool to have.
I got my tap and die box and wanted to touch up the cutter and forgot to take a picture of the setting on it I have not found anything on this setting for the depth of the cutter is it possible you could show the depth of where your cutter is at I have tried 6 different times to get it back to factory and no luck yet it’s strange that there is not much info about this as the cutter is made to be sharpened and adjusted I was just dumb and didn’t note the cutter depth. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Dan, The static part is the same piece as is clamped in the vice so it's not in the same plane. But you could easily make one a different way and the sliding deadman would work well. All the best, David.
No sure why people don't understand how useful this can be. If you have a small Record or woodriver style vise with guide bars it is not very easy to hold work when dovetailing. My Record vise has maybe 2 inches from the edge to the first guide and it racks like crazy. This 'addon' vise doesn't have guidebars to get in the way AND it also raises the work up closer to you.
This would be particularly good for those wanting to dovetail but only have a Record style vice where the guide bars get in the way. I take this to West Dean College when I teach as all their benches have Record vices. All the best, David.

Ingenious vise! The threading device looks great, too. I always assumed it was much more difficult to make wooden screws.
I made this after watching this video and I love it ,thank you very much !

Portable shoulder vice... Brilliant !
After such a long time, a wealth of wonderful and highly informative videos. Thank you so much
No problem, glad to be back!
Great. Thanks for sharing. I use your saw guides for all my dovetailing.
I love the idea of the shoulder vice. that would come in very handy for me ...thank you.
Love it Dave. Are there any plans for it?

What a stunning Moxon vice and dovetail saw 😀😅😀😅😀
Especially the saw!! Thanks for the loan.

This absolute fetish with hand cut dovetails as a measure of talent is quite fascinating.
Thanks for sharing useful info 😊 that is a time saver
Great vices mate, well thought out
Thanks Ken.
Is the static vise jaw on the same plane as the bench side? Meaning, one could use a sliding deadman to clamp even larger pieces?
thanks,
Dan

Sweet.
2:02, your hand bumps the handle of the vice; that would drive me nuts!
Hi David, yes this style of vice does protrude more than the Moxon. I like it but it's whatever suits. All the best, David.
I am trying this, and now I know to just make the handle caps/ends daintier -- or only on one side to slide out once cinched up.
That tap and die for the 1-1/2" dowel, do you know what the USA equivalent is?
If you goo to Highland Woodworking about search for Manuel Wood Threader it will come up. All the best, David

wow it is a lot cheaper than i thought it would be

unfortunately it's about 4 times the price I hoped it would be :(
You can build it yourself, although once you see it being built you'll probably think $62 is a good price. ua-cam.com/video/mTnVDl6Y6u4/v-deo.html
There is a shoulder vise on the bench behind you!
William Fretwell you noticed! What you didn't notice was its not exactly portable!
The screw looks as if it could get in the way. Sometimes
Very useful. Thank you
No problem!
Thank you to sharing
No problem!
So,you need a vise...to use your new scandinavian vise...interesting..

Thank you!
What brand of saw is that?
It's a Lie Nielsen Dovetail saw. All the best, David
Nice.
Thanks!
so you use a vice to hold a vice,hmmm,i really dont get why folks need to complicate stuff,no offence your a skilled craftsman.
This would be particularly good for those wanting to dovetail but only have a Record style vice where the guide bars get in the way. I take this to West Dean College when I teach as all their benches have Record vices. All the best, David.
i get on just fine with a record 53 holding even 2ft wide boards.
Well that's great, I think the vices at the college have been used and abused! All the best, David.
