- Matt and Rudy from Cloverdale Forge sent out one of their self adjusting filing vises to test out. I have always found a good filing vise useful and this version is a step up in quality and function.

Matt's a veritable genius. How his mind works, and how he comes up with these rather genius ideas, is one of those mysteries of the ages.
Its 50 years of experience, probably learned from multiple mentors that worked for 50+ years before him. This is how true craftsmen learn all those little things that cut the job time in half without sacrificing quality.
That self adjusting filing vise is one of the most brilliant things I've seen in a long time! It's like when Brian Brazeel came out with his hot cut hardy tool. It's just clever and it just works better. Great job!
I love clever tools.
👍👍 saving knuckles is always a good idea
Well, I got only half way through the video and decided I GOTTA GET ONE OF THOSE!!!
Thanks for this handy video. I think I'll review your other filing vice videos too
Blacksmiths are the king of Trades
As a tool geek I've always scoffed at the notion that you can't build a better mouse trap. This vise is vindication of my feelings. Thanks for another excellent and informative video!
That is an amazingly awesome concept good work Matt
I've seen an old filing vise many years ago, I didn't know what it was and it was actually rusted so bad it wouldn't move. This looks like a great improvement and something I need to get for my shop. Thank you for the review.
Thank you!! Love this!!!
Great job. Thank you 😊
Thanks John, that looks like a great addition to any shop !
Very clever design for sure
Love it... great adjustability
Man that looks handy. Great video John
Received mine a few weeks ago, absolute game changer, great design.
He makes some excellent tools. Well worth the cost. Email them if not in stock. They make them in batches.
That definitely looks handy!
Wow. That holds really well. I need to get one as soon as I get the smithy back up and running.
That vice is sweet! First time I've heard of a filing vice.
That's an awesome improvement on the filing vise's. Thanks to Matt and Rudy from Cloverdale Forge for sending you one to use and get your opinion on. Looks like it will be a winner for sure, clamping the jaws flat to both surfaces evenly improves the holding power so much it's unreal. Quality of filing goes way up and quicker too. Thanks for showing this review John, another great product. Fred.
That is a very well designed and made tool! Thanks again John!
Glad you like it!
I have been wanting a filing vise for awhile. This vise looks fantastic. I will reach out to them. Matt will be demonstrating at the Blacksmith of Missouri (BAM) conference this year in early May in Sedalia, Missouri. Thanks.
Maybe he can bring tools to avoid international shipping, which can take a while.
Brilliant thanks for showing it. I have just spent a few days researching filing vices and making one. Your earlier videos were invaluable thanks.
My filing vice is quite different, but it tackles the same problems. It is more like a woodworkers moxxon vice, but made from metal and is only for smaller scale metalwork - copper smithing and jewellery making.
That pivoting back jaw is making me think a little more and maybe I'll make another one, because I can see from you using it in this video how convenient it is.
Sweet vise, I hope your influence gets them lots of orders. Enjoy your day John.
Thank you John for this review. I didn't know these existed. That will come in handy. Have a great day.
Glad to help
thats a very handy tool!
Awesome improvement to the filing vise. Very nicely made. Thank you John for sharing.
You are very welcome
That's a great idea! I've been meaning to make one, but I think that will be more versatile.
They are a handy tool and this one is certainly an improved version
Morning mr John.
Niw thats an interesting concept that looks to work in real life! Good job Mat!
Thank you for sharing and blessing abundant.
Crawford out 🙏🏻🔥⚒️🧙🏻♂️
My pleasure!
not used a filing vise before, i've always used an adapted pair of vice grips in the vice to do the same thing but the adjustable file vise is a good bit of kit, i might have to see if they do shipping to the UK
well my totally unbiased opinion is ....I WANT ONE!!
awesome concept Matt and I wonder if you ship to the UK...maybe I have to make my own version.
Thanks for your very biased opinion John its very much apppreciated
gotta get money for this
I agree, that filing vice sure looks to be very handy. What do they sell for when they are in stock? Even though I am a woodworker I'm certain that would be a handy tool in my shop. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I have no need of this product but still I want it.
This looks impressive and would be a total gamechanger from the bent hinges I'm currently using. Any ideas on price?
Great design. Anybody ever seen "planetary" vice-jaws?, kinda similar principle.
I'm sure they're called something other than "planetary vice-jaws", but that's just off the top of my head, so....yeah.
I don't have any either, just never "needed" them...as if that's something that's ever stopped me from buying a new tool before 😂, but yeah...just never picked one up yet. (would be a better explanation) 😂
Peace ✌🏼
Now i need to find a buy it link
There should be an email address in the description.
Everyone has an anvil height video. How about vise height? Do you suggest the height of the vise be just over waist height? Then the filling vise brings the work up a touch? Or is this “it depends” and better to have multiple vise setups? I would be very interested in your opinion!
Sounds like a video for the future. Generally for filing about elbow height.
Do they make one to use an angle grinder on. Or do I need to just search for a pivot vice? I would love to hole my material in a 45 degree
There wouldn't be any problem using this one with an angle grinder. Filing vise is just the name.
Ty
Link on how to order if available. Didnt see it on site.
There is an email address in the video description to contact them and place an order
I don't see it on their website?
Theres an email address in the video description. Contact them to make an order.
Nothing wring with being biased as long as it's fully out in the open....
I like the design and concept. I clicked the link and found I need to log in to Instagram to go to their site. I don't have and don't want Instagram. I think I'll pass. Thanks.
Click on the email to contact them directly.
The sound of a file makes my teeth hurt. Which turns out to be a real issue since I am a hobby machinist lol.
Ear plugs or ear defenders maybe? Or just noise cancelling headphones and something better to listen to? I'm just offering suggestions by the way as I personally use noise cancelling headphones a lot while working on things due to similar sensory issues.
why didn't they just put a screw in it? if one part was longer and could be hammered into wood or mounted on a table, you have a vise. even portable :D
Its indeed biased😂, the first filing vise was barely tightened i would like to see a similar force applied to both of them
