I find your install the best I've seen on UA-cam. Having the back face flush to the whole bench is useful when clamping on long pieces of stock. It's not necessary as a long stock can still be clamped to a bench if it is not flush cause you can use a spacer. Making it flush just makes more sense.
It shows that you take pride in your work and don’t mind putting the time in to get things done just the way you like them. Also, it looks like you were having a blast so who cares how long it took you. Excellent job sir!
I have a very similar vice. I replaced the metal dog with one made from hardwood with a threaded insert for the tightening screw. So much more forgiving on my plane blades 🙂
So pleased to find your video. Just picked up a couple of woodworking vices from a skip - like new!! Currently building my bench, talk about luck & timing.
Good job... Well done. I respect your decision on how you mounted your vice. There are many ways one can go about doing it; but the reality is that you own what you work on, and do things according to your needs, not everyone else's at there that for the most part, all they want to do is look on others work just to criticize so that they can feel good about themselves. For what I can see, it does the job just the way it was created to do. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks alot, you are completely correct. Tools are there to be used and help you be productive. What does a tool for me, when I cannot use it the way I would need to. :D
What a good job installing your vise. we spell it vice in the u.k .Just bought a record 7 ins one, this video has given me some ideas on how to install it to the work bench in the best way.
+Stephen Baguley thanks! If I would do it again, I would probably make both wooden pieces of the clamping sides the same width and then recess them into the tableside. I tried to combine a leg vise with this "schraubstock", as we say in Austria :D thx for the comment!
I'm (4) years late to the party here, oh well! Nice vise install btw. Not sure why you didn't fit both jaws out to the end of the bench top, causing the insert piece install, however it looks good... This vise shares many similarities to a 10" woodworkers vise given to me by a friend of mine for my newly built workbench. It is about 70 years old by my best estimate & made by Howe & Fory Company of Littlestown, PA., USA... There ain't nothing better than Pennsylvania steel! Excellent video presentations & I thank you. Bill on the Hill, Vermont, USA... :-)
Thanks alot! I inset the inner vise-jaw so i could clamp longer stuff to the side of the whole table. i have benchdog holes in the feet also, so i can clamp and hold wood securely. Cheers :D
There’s a few sharp edges on that vice, I’d round them off a bit with a grinder, and cut your bolts flush with the nuts, otherwise I can foresee several skinned knuckles in the future!
Well, I see we have a lot in common. I examined your work and we are not either of us perfect in our work and many times if not most of the time we need to add a short or odd peice of wood to either correct a mistake or to complete it. You had to do this procedure in this video and checking out your workbench I could see more; of what I call; being a "COBBLER" and not a true Woodworker. Yet! Lol. I enjoyed your video; as we have much in common; but we get the work completed and useful. God Bless.
Prima! Naechste Woche will ich ein Arbeitstisch machen und muss eine Entscheidung für die verschiedene Schraubstock machen. Dein Video hat mir hier geholfen. And, I also get to try out my Ohio version of German on you :D Started trying to learn German at age 55... getting there but it is slow going.
Vielen Dank für Deinen Kompliment. Ich habe zwei Schraubstocke teilweise überlegt... der Eclipse und der Wilton... beiden habe dieses "Quick Release" Eigenschaft. Das ist gleichzeitig gut und schlecht. Zeitsparend option aber ich habe gehört das den Mechanismus wird nicht lange halten. Ich mag auch die alte Record (UK herstellt). Leider diesen sind vielleicht nicht mehr lieferbar. Und natürlich jetzt den York Schraubstock. Habe heute die Decke für meinen Arbeitstisch begonnen. Good luck reading my version of German ... Ed from Cincinnati
Der "Quick Release" ist sehr praktisch! Einen anderen Schraubstock möchte ich nicht mehr haben :D I really got used to the way it works, although a smaller one would've sufficed I think haha
Wonderful, but the two screws able to withstand the weight of the vise? Second: The music in the video contain the Arabic 4/4 rhythm ! Is western music?
+James McIntyre It was the first workbench I ever build so I didn't want to go all out on materials. All in all I spent around 110€ in raw lumber and again as much for the vise and the spindle. Considering I messed up the surface already I think that was a wise choice haha
If you had just mounted this to the front of the bench the way it was designed to be used, it would have saved you tons of hours and been much more functional.
How more functional? It's a good question though. I'm thinking he may want to be able secure longer planks against the face of the bench, as done on several traditional benches, such as the Nicholson & Roubo benches (e.g. using a holdfast or clamps). Notice that he used an extra long plank for the outer face and, when the vice is closed, it fits snug again both the inner face vice & the bench top.
Hi, firstly thats what I had available haha. Secondly the outside jaw had to be thicker to withstand the pressure. The fixed jaw on the table itself could be thinner. :D
+Izzyfromoregon Oregon I had some new planes that i wanted to try out. Also I want to avoid creating unnecessary dust when possible...thx for the comment!
The metal planes I have are juuma planes. A longer one, a jackplane and two blockplanes...I am really impressed by the high quality of this brand! Thanks for the comment! :D
Big, noisy, dusty, safety gear should be worn. Using well tuned hand tools can be a joy - but yes, power tools are often easier, faster &, sometimes, cheaper. But who need the racket! ;)
It's a tradeoff between a jaw that lasts a long time and the possibility of marking and ruining your workpiece. And It's also a question of whats available to you :D
+James McIntyre Thanks for the comment! First of all: I like pigs, with and without makeup. Secondly: Its a tool and I use it as such. The wooden jaws are wear parts in my opinion and will be changed sooner or later anyway.
wood and stuff You are correct and James is ignorant for making such a comment. I watched quite a few install videos and I believe the way you mounted the vise is the best way to do it. I like that the back side of the vise is flush with the table so you can clamp long pieces firmly up against the table edge. Great job and thank you for sharing.

Muy bueno el trabajo y excelente la musicalizaciòn,al fin un youtuber con buen gusto para poner mùsica,me suscribo,felicitaciones.
Perfect! [never mind those tiny cracks] Best of all: the music ;-)
+FreeSoftware haha thanks! I should use this song more often...

Inspiring this going on my new bench tomorrow
Nicely done. If I missed it in the comments I apologize but what vise is this? I will be looking for one in the near future
Нет вы только гляньте на этого артиста, и моцорта даже сюда приплел)
LAVORO OTTIMIZZATO.
SALUTI
SALVIO
great woodworker. 😆
:D
Thanks for this video! What vise is that with the acme threads?
Great job!
Enjoyed that! What kind of watch is that, if I can ask?
Thanks for the video, Do you know make and model your vise is? Thanks in advance

И кусочки кожи на деревянные губки добавить, совсем хорошо будет.
GOOD GREIF IT'S A VISE NOT A FINE WATCH................
Wonderful, but the two screws able to withstand the weight of the vise? Second: The music in the video contain the Arabic 4/4 rhythm ! Is western music?
+mansoreaa On the underside there are four screws in total. They are quite hefty so they should suffice :D
@@woodandstuff plus those two screws from the front. They will also help.
Why do I have the urge to play Banjo-Kazooie all of a sudden??
A cull lumber bench is fine.
+James McIntyre It was the first workbench I ever build so I didn't want to go all out on materials. All in all I spent around 110€ in raw lumber and again as much for the vise and the spindle. Considering I messed up the surface already I think that was a wise choice haha
Please tell me about the actual vise. Is that a commercially available unit? Who make it? Where did you purchase? Thank you.
+David Massey Hi, it's a no.53ED from a company called York. I got it at: www.feinewerkzeuge.de/schraub.html
Thanks for the comment!
You're welcome! Thanks for the information.
If you had just mounted this to the front of the bench the way it was designed to be used, it would have saved you tons of hours and been much more functional.

@@tonyy5482 nice to see somebody who understand the intentions! I had the same thoughts!
Is that a Record #53? If so, where did you find it, may I ask?
+Dan Barber Its a no.53ED from a company called York. I got it at: www.feinewerkzeuge.de/schraub.html
thx for the comment!
+wood and stuff Thanks! I am hoping mine is as good as yours!
How wide is the vice?
Why one thin and one thick board??
Hi, firstly thats what I had available haha. Secondly the outside jaw had to be thicker to withstand the pressure. The fixed jaw on the table itself could be thinner. :D
Why plane when belt sanders are easier?
+Izzyfromoregon Oregon I had some new planes that i wanted to try out. Also I want to avoid creating unnecessary dust when possible...thx for the comment!
wood and stuff what were the planes you were using?
The metal planes I have are juuma planes. A longer one, a jackplane and two blockplanes...I am really impressed by the high quality of this brand! Thanks for the comment! :D
Big, noisy, dusty, safety gear should be worn. Using well tuned hand tools can be a joy - but yes, power tools are often easier, faster &, sometimes, cheaper. But who need the racket! ;)
Where did you buy that Vise?
+Rinaldo Faria Hi, I got it at: www.feinewerkzeuge.de/schraub.html. Thanks for the comment!
Maybe I should ignore the comments and ask where the vice is from ...
The wood? Hard or soft?
Thats birchwood for the jaws. Kinda hard I'd guess haha. Thanks for the comment!
I just asked as I always wondered if there was a reason for either hard or soft wood.
It's a tradeoff between a jaw that lasts a long time and the possibility of marking and ruining your workpiece. And It's also a question of whats available to you :D
Ah! That was the bit I was wondering about. Cheers.
All that fine work and look at the scrap wood you used. It's like putting lip stick on a pig.
+James McIntyre Thanks for the comment! First of all: I like pigs, with and without makeup. Secondly: Its a tool and I use it as such. The wooden jaws are wear parts in my opinion and will be changed sooner or later anyway.

Sorry. I didn't know it was a poor mans vice.

Rich in satisfaction of a job well done.
