An alternate hack for you is to cut a 2x6 to the same length as your bench is wide. Mount the vise on one end. Cut a slot down the center and place a bolt through the slot in the 2x6 into your bench. You can loosen the bolt through the 2x6 and in your bench and slide the entire 2x6 and vise out into the open where you can get to all sides of what ever it is you are working on. If you need the entire top of your bench one bolt is removed and the vise and 2x6 are removed. Wish I could send a picture. If you work on odd sized things this is the best vise hack I have seen.
Brilliant, Rob! 😃 I have 2 of those vises, a new one that is screwed to a tool bench and an older and bigger one that my father had for decades and refurbished. And that's exactly what I'm going to do with it. 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Trees have secrets? The ones round here are blabbermouths! Another excellent vid Rob with plenty of good ideas. I especially liked the drill press thing. Cheers mate.
Great video, and it looks like a good vise. I've had one for many years in my shop with a similar base, though mine has two identical cross pieces. Having two lets me store it sitting flat on a shelf which makes it easier to stow, and if I just need to do light work or to use the anvil it can be set on top of my workbench without clamping as the weight of the vise is enough to keep it from moving around much. The cross pieces are spaced so they saddle over the front face of my woodworking vise so I can clamp it there if needed for heavier work.

Great idea! I already have a metal vise on a block of wood that I wedge between dog holes. But I never thought to turn it vertical in the wood vise 👍😊

Excellent ideas. Thank you!
Practical and economical
Imma gonna try this with my full size vice.... heavy yes, but I'm too cheap to replace it ;)
I think I'll stick with getting the Doyle vise from HF.
