The vice is finished and it works fantastic, I couldn't be happier. As you may have seen in the first video the mechanism works wonderfully and just as well when fitted to the finished vice.
This is my 50th video and also the longest (I hope it isn't too long). I really can't believe I've uploaded that many, it feels like I'm still finding my feet!!
The whole project worked out very well with few hiccups. The only thing that concerned me before going into the build was whether I would be able to get the guide rails parallel but I needn't have worried as they turned out fine. So if you do make one for yourself this is the main point to get right. There is a little binding at one point but minimal and I'm certain that it'll bed in. I don't want to dwell on it as it really is nothing but it's near the end of the travel and it will be rare that I ever open the vice that far anyhow.
I forgot to mention the capacity with jaws open fully, it's 40cm or 15 3/4", that was determined by the length of threaded rod I had. If the vice wasn't happy at that size opening I would've cut the rod and guide rails shorter but it seems fine as is.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
You are 1/2 genius and 1/2 artist.
Thanks Mark! :)
I love how this turned out. That quick release design really is elegant. So many of these systems seem bulky or not really "quick." If I ever have a need for a bench vise, I'm making this!
Thank you! :)
Practical, functional, beautiful and shop made. It doesn't get much better than that. Amazing work, Neil. And thank you for sharing.
That's incredible from a mechanical standpoint, but you also nailed the aesthetic. Great work!
Thanks Eric! :)
I knew as soon as you picked up the box that it was going to be that it was upside down. :D Absolutely stellar work. I love vids that have mistakes in them because anyone who thinks he's not going to make mistakes in the shop is fooling himself. It's how we learn.
You're right, everyone makes mistakes. Glad you like the video! :)
There is no end to your ingenuity. You ARE an inspiration
Love your ingenuity. Very complicated build for a non-welder but love how well it works.
Brilliant! My papa had one that he made when I was a kid... but the rare earth magnet was truly genius! I remember playing with it for HOURS ☺️
Love this series. I've started my own vise based on this design, four hours into it. I almost have the mechanism and housing finished. I'm so excited to see if it ends up as good as yours, thanks again
That sounds awesome mate! Really cool to hear! :)
That quick release mechanism seems like one of the greatest vice mechanisms I have seen.
by far the best vice I've seen. Congratulations!
With all the Crapsmanship of today's products. It is a joy to see Pask work.
Thats probably the best designed vice I have seen. Very simple, but very effective, well done Neil. You should get many years out of that one, and I dare say I bet you make another one !!! cheers mate !
Thank you very much Max! :)
This whole vise build was ingenious and the dogs are adorable
Came out great! We all make mistakes, it's great that you share yours. Gives us all hope LOL! Funny how the vise install morphed into a bench make over.
Thanks Tom! I had no plan to fix up the bench, then I thought 'I've only got to flip the top over'! It was worth doing though! ;)
That's fantastic. It looks great and is super convenient and practical.
Thanks a lot! Another project I have to put on the list! Lol!
Seriously the only thing I would add would be bench dogs and a removable cleat for them on the movable jaw. Yours seems almost to pretty to use. Love the fact that it was used with what was available. The nice thing is that it is so much larger than my decades old store bought ones. Seems one always needs that extra jaw width and the fast feature really makes it convenient. Take care. Doug
Thanks Doug - glad you liked it! :)
Exceptional !!!.
Not only your ingenuity and skill, but your presentation.
One of a handful of watchable videos.
Thanks Frank! Glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
You are very skilled sir. Thanks for sharing such an amazing build. I envy your abilities!
As always, beautiful work. I've seen you use this vise a hundred times but had never watched the build videos. Your quick release is elegant and simple ... I'll be tackling it soon. Cheers ...
Bonjour, je regarde vos vidéos , qui sont une source d' idées, vous êtes une personne génial ;
il y a énormément de trucs et astuces auquel je n'aurais jamais pensé , grand merci à vous.
I think this is the best homemade woodwork vice I've seen bravo!
Fantastic mechanism. It will be copied. Fantastic vise. I haven't stopped thinking about it since the mechanism video. You are a real craftsman.
Thanks! Although the idea for the mechanism isn't mine. A similar mechanism was used around 100 years ago on vices, I just made my own version! :)
Bushings for the slides can be made of the same pipe by cutting a length equal to jaw thickness or just 1/2 in longer. Cut a need along the length so you can be able to enlarge it a little to allow slide pipe to fit. Cut a few kerfs around the ends of pipe bushing 1/4 in deep and approx 1/4 in intervals around circumference on both ends. Now you have tabs to bend outward to keep bushings in place. Of you have thicker gauge pipe you can thread the ends and screw a collar nut on.
Not only is the vise functional, its good looking too!
Thanks Jeff! :)
I really enjoy your videos! For me the fact you leave in all your mistakes makes you so much more believable!
Thanks Ron! :)
Excellent! I will be building my own bench and was racking my brains on how to make my own tail vise. God video! Thanks!
This is a drop-dead beautiful vise.
Well done!
Thanks Jerry! :)
Those cutting board bushing are genius!
Really love. One of the nicest things you’ve ever done.
Superb build and great way to upcycle what you have laying around!
Looks wonderful!
Such an elegant design and execution. Turned out just beautifully. May it give you many years of excellent use.
Thanks Bernard! :)
My, my, my you did it. This is really really great. You always amazes me. you started with an idea and ended up fixing your bench and designing this wonderful tool. I wish there was a no weld version.
Again great work.
Thank you very much Joseph! I'm trying out a no weld version at the moment! :)
Very cleaver! Never have seen something like this one. Really nice addition to your shop. Thanks for sharing your mistakes. We all work through these from time to time. Even learn from them.
Excellently engineered .Onward and upward now .You've a good mind.
Thank you! :)
one of the best Homemade Quick Release Vice i,ve seen. i made one but with a different locking system, simmular to the one from DICTUM in Germany. greatings from Austria
That beast couldn't have come out any better. Nice!
Thank you! :)
I love how that turned out. It looks like the trick is to put the work in the jaws and push them closed holding the handle at about 1 o'clock or so. Clockwise about 360° and you're clamped. then you've got from about 2 o'clock on to push down and get as tight as needed. Similar to how you do at 15:44
Thanks Greg! It doesn't matter what position the handle is in the mechanism starts to turn wherever it is, although sometimes it takes a little more of a turn than others (not much though) to engage the half nut (it all depends how close the half nut threads are to engaging the threaded rod). :)
Just discovered your channel and can’t stop watching your videos. Thank you for all this work.
Mate, you are nothing short of a genius.
You have access to some of the most fantastic wood! Curse the import laws and shipping fees to the States. AAAARRRRRRGGGGG !!! A lot of us fixit types have a shortage of round tuits, although I did take the time about twenty years back to carve one for a Christmas Present for a friend. She purportedly still has it.
Wow, the most beautiful and functional vice I have ever seen. Good job.
Thanks Michael! :)
Great job 👍
Came back to have a look after buying the plans yesterday.
Muito bacana ficou excelente seu projeto MORSA de bancada foi uma ótima apresentação e muito boa à demonstração valeu obrigadao
That's spot on. Well done mate. I'd cry the first time I accidentally put a saw cut in one of the jaws.
I love this vice. Thanks for showing us your build!
this is a super clever system Neil, well done. Your videos are such a joy to watch and always interesting and I'm pretty sure I learn something new every time. Keep up the good work,
That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback! :)
Beautifully done! Thank you for putting the video up
I watched along on Instagram and thought maybe/maybe not, and if I recall you also had moments of doubt. But I gotta say, this is bloody brilliant. You sir a one clever and skilled man. 👍👍👍
Thanks Kuffy! You're right, I wasn't over confident as I started but I was happy to share my progress either way on Instagram. Glad you enjoyed following along mate!! :)
Everything is superb. For me the best part is showing your mistakes. I learn just as much from those as anything.
Very smart!
Thank you very much Izzy - you just made my day!! :D
Lol I’d probably shit myself if Izzy said something I did was smart. That man is amazing with the stuff he comes up with!
Brads Workbench hehehe true that! both these guys are extremely talented with their hands and their brains 😃👍🏻
That is one great looking vice. Thanks for the video.
Bravo ! Très beau travail et belles finition .Thank you for free plans .
Thanks for showing your mistakes! It is so easy to be dishonest on media like this, but it helps to see when people make mistakes. One can very easily become disheartened by stupid mistakes
Ulrich Retief man that’s so true!
Excellent build. Deserves many thumbs up.
Ya había visto este video y lo volví a ver y realmente me fascina ver que las propuestas que haces son realmente excelentes gracias por este tipo de asesorías y videos
Very nice Neil, great looking vice.
Setting the bar very high
Thanks for your honesty. We have all welded something to the wrong side!!!!
Another great tool Neil, really enjoy your videos, love to watch how your mind works and the way you go about solving problems and use alternate methods to solve snags. keep up the good work.
Thanks very much Jim! :)
Just fantastic! And that mechanism. Wow.
Thanks Felipe! :)
sweet project!! I enjoyed both videos, one after the other. I appreciate the demo aspect and your willingness to be transparent about making - AND - correcting mistakes. In my experience, only those who do nothing make no mistakes. The key is owning them and making them right. Thank you very much for what you did and for the videos.
Thanks Neil! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
That is genius and a beautiful BIG vice. Well done!
Thanks Damo! :)
Watched your videos for a while now, but I rarely comment in UA-cam although I do like. This clamp really deserves a comment man, great piece of work!
Thank you very much! :)
So that’s why Poor Kennedy’s trampoline is all wobbly!😅😂 excellent build mate you’ve got some real creative genius in you..one hell of a artist👍🏻
Thanks very much Alex! :)
Quality mate, I don't even do woodwork but really like the ins n outs of how things work.
I like tinkering about my workshop making things myself usually with metal tho. the shear pleasure on your face mate when you done it quality, keep up the good work
Thank you very much John - glad you enjoyed it mate! :)
Absolutely astonishing mate!! Wonderful job Neil and it’s always a pleasure see you work!!😊👊
Thanks mate - glad you liked it! :)
Love the idea. So smart. Enjoyed both videos.
You'll get much better control if you use the lathe tool rest properly - hold the tool with your hand against the tool rest or, with an underhand grip, rest your index finger in the groove of the rest. You'll find you have much better control. It's like writing with your hand on the table versus trying to write without that reference point.
Thanks Bernhard! I will definitely think about that when I next use the lathe. I'm certainly no woodturner, I just give it a go and manage! ;)
Wow! Brilliant Neil. Truly skilled and humble. Looking forward to seeing your other new projects..
Fantastic work Sir!!! Thank you for sharing.
Lovely job fella!
You are very talented dude.. you did it in humble way too.. 😎👍👍
Another great build!!! You’re a genius.
Great project! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love your photography too!!
Thanks for taking the time to look! :)
Just ran across this video Pask. Really an awesome job on the vise. It looks great and I'm sure you've gotten great use out of it already!
Thanks Becky! I use it daily and love it! :)
Nice trick with the wheels, nice quick fix!
that is very unusual. thanks mr Pask Makes for the videos ..
Ok, now I have started to watch every single video, you‘ve recorded 🙈😊
most splendid , indeed !
Excellent video with a great end result. Love your honesty.
beautiful build
Great job (and how reassuring to see I'm not the only person who makes mistakes!)
Thanks Peter! :)
love it when a plan comes through , nice job
As always Your Work is fun to watch and informational to boot.
beautiful.
That looks nicer than the Vice I paid nearly $200 for at our local woodworkers supply store.👍
Looks great and very solid . You will get a lot use from it .
What a splendid job! And it looks so good as well. I think if i was in your workshop I wouldn't be able to stop myself just playing with it. Opening and closing it.
Thanks Mike! I have to admit I'm guilty of doing exactly that!!;)
OH well in your case it's not playing. You said you have to move it in and out lots of times so that little bit of binding goes away.
Brilliant vise! Thanks for sharing
Awesome concept!
Works wonder full, PATENT it !!! never seen it over here in Holland! I would buy it...
A really beautiful piece of work. Never thought I’d say that about a vise!!!
You are a Genius... a will Rebuild one.. that's sure!
I am going to build a new work bench soon and I will be making a visa to go on it. This is awesome!
It’s beyond awesome. Wow.
Paraaada. Skoda ze si to neviem spravit sam👍👍👍
only one small modification I would still make to it, the Metal bushings that sit on the outter most jaw near the handle , I would counter sink those into the Jaw itself, to help save the knuckles. Or just make it round.
Great job! If I may, you can use a long nut for your locking mechanism and will provide even more grip .....
