so glad you've made some progress on the vice, I can't wait to see the finished product!.. Also thanks for my AMAZING knife, as well as the channel mention - much appreciated! Hopefully see you very soon pal.
Brilliant as usual. It is miserable in my shed in the summer- even with 2 big fans. I put an outside gas burner forge for summer and can only use indoor coal forge in winter. Frank
Good idea Frank, I suppose i could move it all outside actually...as with the british weather it did not last long..last week its been cold wet and windy again mate. cheers
Great video. Excellent idea using the turnbuckle fkr the left and right handed threads. I can't find the next video though . Excited to see the finished project
Because you are using mild steel and angle iron, I'd suggest cold bluing for the parts followed by gun oil to inhibit rust. She's going to work a real treat Loz! 👍
I've seen both videos and enjoyed watching them. It turned out a very successful build and product 💪💯. I'm curious what's the engraver you're using or did you happen to build it yourself as well ?
That is going to be a nice ball vice. Suggestion : I see you are using a stereomicroscope for your engraving and scrimshaw projects. That means your field of view is narrower than when you would use an Optivisor or high magnification glasses (on most engraving stereoscopes no more than 2-3 " max at the lowest magnification) . Your workpiece also needs to be ecxacly positioned and parralel to the frontglasses under that microscope to do your engraving. You will soon find that when rotating this vice you will have difficulty to keep the spot where you are working under the microscope.....certainly when working with bigger or elongates workpieces. If you do scrolwork at the sides of an elongated piece the vice will rotate the piece out of view often...than you need to reclamp to get it centered again. If you add a second and overall 2" bigger rotating plate centered and fixed to the view of the microscope underneath the smaller vice....all you have to do to keep the spot where you are working on centered is to slide the smaller upper vice/plate to that point. Than you do not have to reclamp. You can slide the smaller vice in all directions fast (the weight of the small vice will keep it in its position...if not add some strips of thin rubber at the bottom..When you than only rotate the bigger plate the spot you are working on will keep rotating fully in view . Sorry for the long and difficult explanation(english is not my language)....when you use only the small vice and its one rotation point you will soon understand what i am blabbering about ;)
Loz, Loz, Loz, 36°C? Luxury! When I were lad, livin' in hole in t' middle o' road 36°c would have been cold spell, 50°C, 55°C wud 'a' bin warm, no tellin' how 'ot it got, never 'ad proper thermometer! ..... and you tell that to young folk of t'day an' they wouldn't believe you!!!

Looks like you’re off to a good start! Great idea with the turnbuckles!
Yes! Thank you! Bill
Waiting with excitement for the next stage,awesome work 👍👍
Thank you so much 😀

Cheers James, yea i thought about some cold blue too mate.
Wing and a prayer engineering sounds great. I'm amazed by that spray cleaner. Can you get that in the USA?

Thank you yes i understand what you mean and i shall do that. Cheers.
Using the turnbuckle for left and right hand thread is a genius idea.
Thanks David.
Hi Loz. Great watching and listening to you, you make sense for idiots like me!! What is that cleaning product and who makes it?
This is interesting. Please check the spelling of “vice”, as that describes gambling, doping, excessive drinking etc. substitute vise.
I need a lathe and a plasma cutter 🤤
Very cool!
thanks mate.
Where can I find the drawings you used?
I want to make it myself, if there are plans, how can I get them?
sorry I just made it as I went along.
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!

Like 104 from România my friend 👍🏽🇷🇴💪🏾👉🏻❤️
Fucking gorgeous!

Mount it on a lazy Susan bearing very cheap way of making a turn table.
