    I loved watching. Other guys might have used a milling machine but your weld was just as good. After you sanded it I couldn't even see the weld.

    Nice grinder work! I made one of these for wood, but will now look into making one for metal as well. Thanks for sharing!

    Brilliant exactly the design I was thinking of. Most have a flat face but the step is much better.

      Yeah I’ve been making them this way for years, the step comes in super handy.. but it’s sometimes good to have the flat side too 👍🏼
      Thank you for watching, hope you enjoy making one too

      Yes I will love making it. Got some 8x4 Ali sheets to mark. A line 25mm from each edge before rivets.
      Be pretty easy for me. I have 3 lathes and a Bridgeport. You did a great job by hand.

    I really like your design mate! Looks like a really handy toolS Do you think a broken drill bit would work too? I just broke a small one today xD

      Black Beard Projects Thanks pal, yes your broken drill bit should work nicely.. I think everyone has these, good thinking.

    Great job, I thought in the beginning that you had a mill. But turns out you are handy with a grinder.

      Danylo66 .. Thank you, Yes the grinder is my most used tool, I'd be pretty stuck without it.. well and the tig machine of course.
      Thank you for watching, see you next time.

    I just want to buy one. It seems like no one makes one of these. I find hundreds for wood. None for metal.

      Hi, That’s a great point James, maybe I should go into production then?

    how did those HUGE gouges get into that vise?.... it almost looks like someone pressed an angle grinder to it.

    • @stevejames2142
      @stevejames2142  6 років тому

      I honestly have no idea, I was given this vise and it already had them... does look like grinder marks though I agree.

      @wayne251975 6 років тому

      Looks like a machinist was using a vertical mill and some sort of cutter that gouged it. Definitely didn't hurt it but evidence like that would gained some humor from his co-workers...
