This homemade leg vice is the latest addition to my workbench. I apologise upfront for the length and the speed of the video. It was a struggle to fit everything in, so it's a little fast in places. Faster than normal - it's always fast ;) .
The vice turned out amazing - I am really chuffed with it. Thanks to the other guys here on UA-cam who have already done this with the scaffold screw and passed on that knowledge - it worked extremely well. I saw Jay Bates use this screw and he got the idea from Dema's Workshop (thanks guys). I decided on adding the St Peters cross as I wanted a pinless vice - I like what Jay Bates has done with a wedge and thought about that system but I'm glad I went with the cross.
The wheel turned out great too - I wracked my brains thinking of what to use, I thought about making one out of wood and inserting lead shot for added weight and I almost used the angle adjustment wheel off my tablesaw which I would have replaced with a homemade one. My mate dropped off these old grinder discs about a year or so ago and asked if they were any good to me? I took them because I couldn't resist even though I had no idea what I would do with them - they were perfect for the vice wheel.
The workbench is now a very usable bench but I may still add to it - watch this space!
I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I realize this video is ancient, in youtube terms, but I just watched it for the first time and must say that the grinder discs wheel is a thing of beauty. Well done, as per-usual, Mr Pask! Its a treat to watch you build tools.
Thanks very much Beau! :)
I watch a lot of woodworkers on UA-cam. I've only watched two of your videos and you're already one of my new favorites to watch. Love your video style and the quality of craftsmanship. Keep it up!!!
Thank you very much Mike! :)
same here man ^^

I was totally confused about the old grinder wheels until the very point you installed the handle. Bravo!
I really really loved how you used those old grinding disk!! they came out great!!!
Thanks - I'm very pleased with how they turned out too! :)
Good lord that's a beautiful bench. I'm from the US, so seeing figured woods like that used is not common. Also, you gave me a great idea for my own leg vise. I've got an old Walnut(I think) steering wheel from a 60s Mustang that I think will do quite nicely.Thanks for the ideas!
Dear John Heisz, Matthias Wandel and Pask Makes,
For quite a long time I follow your excellent contributions to woodworking and I am still learning. I am fascinated by the simplicity and properties of a leg vice. The one thing that is problematic is the pin that is necessary to operate it. Now I know there are several solutions to make a ‘pinless’ Leg Vice, but it came to my mind to automate/mechanise a pinless design. Now I am not able to do it myself so I thought that it might a nice subject for you to put your teeth in. The idea is as follows. Instead of a pin we take an linear actuator (Electric, Hydraulic or Pneumatic) tot regulate the vertical outlining. Then we need one or two electronic waterpasses to sense the vertical position of the leg and by adding a controller to actuate the actuator you have an automated pinless Leg Vice. Who of you is up to the challenge? Arie van den Ende NL
Engineer first, maker second. The ingenuity that goes into your designs is so impressive.
Excellent. The wheel is ingenious. Note to self though...Watch where you shoot the brads while building if thinking about vices or anything requiring more machining. Mortising laminated plywood by hand is a drag.
Your channel is fast becoming one of my favorites. Love the build. Your skill with welding and steel makes me jealous. Your ingenuity of using things on hand is awesome. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying it! :)
That what I call a real DIY. Most videos out there are AIY (assemble it yourself) where they just put thing together. Well done mate!
Thank you Alex! :)
Great work Pask! Great video on a process (making your own St. Peters Cross) that nobody else has seemed to cover and show so well. IMO yours is the best video on the topic. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Admire your skills and inventive spirit . Re-using available material around you is fantastic and shows imagination .
Mr Pask, you are so creative. Thanks for putting your videos out in the world. These are the best.
Thank you very much Jesse! :)
Well, Mr. Paskin, you have outdone yourself this time. I am pleased.
Thank you very much! :)
This guy has advanced and wide ranged skill sets. Impressive!
An oldie, but a goodie. Nice job as always
Love your creativity and ingenuity. Crafting things instead of just buying them.
Thank you! Yep that's what I like to do :)
Excellent video. I subbed, Awesome insight on how the hell these things actually work. I was curious on where you were going from the beginning but this is amazing. Love the creativity. Great job !
Thank you very much John! :)
From Kentucky. I have watched all your videos and concluded that you are one very talented man. I liked them all.
Thank you very much Jim from Kentucky! :)
FYI I'm switching to wood from metal, and one of the tools that has helped out quite a lot for metalworking is a good quality hand-held jig saw. It makes relatively short work of things like those collar washers... and keeps you from using the angle grinder. (The angle grinder was the most dangerous thing in my shop until I got my table saw... it has been responsible for over a dozen sutures over the years, and I try not to use it whenever possible.)
Absolutely stellar work on the vise. I've gone looking, and consider this the best how-to on a cross leg vise on YT.
Thank you very much! I haven't used my jigsaw much with metal but I have to say I think the angle grinder is a great versatile tool - the only real downside is it is too noisy! :)
That is so well built. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us.
No worries Richard!
Now that's a man that knows how to work with tools. Great job!
UBER cool vice. Love the round wheel from grinder discs, looks very retro!
Thank you! I thought the wheel was cool but wasn't sure what others would think - 'hey bud you got grinder discs on your vice!' lol, but it looks like everyone's digging it. :)
the wheel looks AWESOME and is ingenious use of otherwise scrap parts.
@@anthonythibodeau81 I don't understand why they don't have a discount built in, on the new ones, as a thank you for returning the old disks to be reused. Sure, you could pay more without the "core charge" return, but the number of these that likely end up in landfills all over the world must be staggering. Society as a whole is so wasteful. Glad to see craftsmen like this reusing materials instead of throwing them away. We recycle soda cans and beer bottles, why not tool bases?
Fine work. Nothing better than a project that uses all your tools and skills.
Thank you! :)
I am in awe - so many different skills and processes in that build, and a great result at the end.
Nice idea of wheels
Very inspiring video. The length didn't bother me at all because if your the kind of guy that knows how to use the tools and understands what your doing the speed skips that long drawn out explanations that some people need to understand what your doing. So for that reason I really enjoyed every part of your video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tony! :)
Oh man, the figuring in that wood makes my heart skip a beat... Thanks for sharing this!
No worries! :)
Very creative. Absolutely love the hand wheel. Well Done !
Thank you Fernando! Looks like the hand wheel is getting good thumbs up! :)
I like that you give everything and honest strength test
Love all your videos, Neil. I also live in Queensland and always look forward to Australian videos.
Thanks very much Sam! :)
Awesome job, for sec there thought it was some aftermarket pulley. Workbench turning into piece of art!
Thank you! :)
Superb work! The "wheel" is a clever idea. Loved it.
This is exactly what I was looking for in a leg vice for my table design! Perfect!
As I'm watching I constantly wonder, what the heck is he doing. Then suddenly I'm amazed at your creativity beyond anything I would have thought of.
Fantastic video! Love how you solved the problem of the sideways wobble.
Thank you Bruce! That certainly got rid of the majority of it and it's perfectly fine as is but I'm going to try and eliminate the rest. :)
well done sir ..most creative..love the ingenuity with the hand wheel.
Thank you Grant - glad you like it! :)
Apologies for the long video? Could've watched that at twice the length. Excellent bench.
Thank you Nige! That's good to hear but a long video can turn some viewers off. :)
There is an option to watch youtube videos up to 2x speed but this one had me transfixed as is.
Just blink more slowly. u'll see less & can meditate during the dark moments
Nige Mullins We share our last name, My first is Daniel.
Incredible bench and equally impressive vise! Nice board selection for the jaw! You are very well-rounded in your skills!
Thank you very much Michael! :)
Great build, love that scraper holder, genius!
Thanks! Yes, the scraper holder works great :)
The vice is great man. I think I love the wheel look the most
Thank you Chris! The wheel was favourite part too! :)
Absolutely brilliant! I really enjoyed watching it from the first video. Great work!
Do you live inside a motorcycle track? Every other second it sounds like a motorcycle running 160 miles an hour, passes by just outside your workshop! Love it ;)!
Haha! Just the sound of the passing cars sped up! ;)
Dude, you showed so many ideas in one short video! Very cool. Nice choice of wood, too.
No worries! :)
I really like how you work out problems and create. Nice work
a small brace at the back of the screw pin would secure it, tight like you did at the front with the 2 hardwood inserts but im sure you already know this another brill video i love how creative you get its getting rarer and rarer in this throw away day and age.
Great leg vice! And the wheel is a real beauty!
Maybe a second nut on half of the depth would make it even less wobbly. Should not be difficult to install.
Thank you! Another + for the wheel :) I did think about that and also I may just add a length of hardwood either side of the screw at the back.
Wow, I really like that workbench! This vice is awesome!
That's beautiful. Love the wood. Love the wheel.
Thank you Pete! :)
A beautiful work of art, sir. I enjoyed watching the entire process of creating the workbench.
Thanks for making the video - I do know how tiring it is (supposedly, the very workbench would have taken twice as less time to produce without the vid.)
Thanks for sharing and keep on doing such beautifully designed and manufactured things.
you just getting better in each vlog.. bravo dud really great stuff... real education
Thank you - great to hear the feedback! :)
Absolutely love what you did with the old grinding wheels!
Thanks - glad you liked it! :)
Brilliant build Neil and a fantastic video.
Tolles Video. Der Mann weiß wirklich was er macht. Respekt. Hab viel gelernt. Danke.
I love the screw handle! Ingenious!
Thank you Ben! :)
what a nice piece of work makes me want to copy it ….and the wood you selected is beautiful thanks for the video
I absolutely love your videos. they keep getting better and better. live the upcycling and reclaimed work you're doing
Thank you very much Phil! btw thanks for the shoutout on your podcast - I enjoyed it. :)
Pask Makes my pleasure. keep up the great work!
Wow, This is likely the best video on this that I have seen. I have to build a leg vise and this is on it's own level man...Great Job..
god damn pask really makes things
papercutz100 “pins from a scrap thing” 😂 this guy is amazing
Now, thanks to you, the companies will start making the grinder discs from un-weldable materials! Thanks sir. Thanks.
Haha - No worries! :)
I'm guessing you build your own airplane when you need to fly somewhere? You are a creative, genius craftsman. Love your videos.
The old grinder wheels as a wheel was quite clever I think! :-)
Yes but only if you have some :)
Plus it looks so good.
I suppose you could find a pulley of some sort laying around, at a scrap yard, etc...
This is the neatest idea that I have seen for maintaining parallelism in a leg vise as it is automatic. Others require human intervention to adjust to parallelism.
The only thing that is bothering me is the amount of slop on the vice during adjustment. This does not materially affect the gripping of the vice but it must be a nuisance when opening and closing. The answer I fear calls for a lathe and a machined collar or sleeve let into the leg to remove the lateral play from the leg.
Great job pask!!! I've been mulling over how I was gonna build my leg vise and well...let me just say I don't have to mull very much more!😁 great work and thank you!!
No worries - I'm glad it helped you! :)
I have my wife help me with the heavy lifting too :) That chop is beautiful!!!
Well done Cobber. Very interesting technique to get a pinless leg vice. Cheers, GG
Thanks Gary! :)
In America we spell it "vise." The word "vice" has an altogether different meaning!! LOL!! Love all your videos, keep them coming!!
Thank you from Mexico, nice work
Love it I need to get some of these old grinding disc you made this from thumbs up my friend
I watched this video to see how the wheel was made. Very impressive and looks awesome.
Thank you! :)
rewatching this video, as I get near to putting a leg vice on mine, and just now realizing how much better this one looks than mine, that I made with your plans. material choice matters.
I always thought that wheel was an old crank pulley very good video
That’s just plain old awesome. Nice work again. 😀
Thanks for some ideas Pask. I've been wanting to make one with the St. Peter's cross and yours turned out great. I was going to use some thick stock but the L beam looks sturdy and will be much cheaper. Also, I love the wheel. Great idea. One thing, a couple feet of 3/4 or even 1 inch acme rod and a couple of nuts would probably make that run a lot smoother too. I know the leveler is an acme but not a precise. Anyway, great video. Thanks
Thank you Mike! :) Acme rod would be better for sure - very expensive here though. The leveller screw still works very well and at a great price - I paid $16 with shipping $30. :)
Wot to make out of spear wood
Now there's a project you can take pride in
Thank you Michael! :)
Your a mad man, Pask!
Awesome leg vice great work!
so much work involved... wow.
Yes but worth it! Nothing comes for free ;)
Great build Neil.
you are awesome... mix of old school woodworking with high tech skills lol ... nice and superb vise
I just went looking for a leg vice kit to do something similar: $300-600. Your design and build looks great!
You just re-invented the Leg Vice!
Thank you! But I didn't invent anything here. :)
Ok. you re-invented the wheel lol
Haha! :)
Have been thinking about a new bench and leg vise/vice. Great job, keep them coming!
Thank you David! :)
Excellent. And that wood is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this with you
Really cool, I need a vice for my bench when I make some adjustments, Wouldnt be able to have something like this but has inspired me to make my own vice instead of buying one.
We will see. May be more trouble then its worth but awesome video.
That's one big kazoo! Great work as always! Obsessed with your videos.
That wheel looks great
Thanks Jamie! I'm pretty chuffed with that wheel :)
Great Job!
That is quite simply, fantastic.
Never noticed it was long...fantastic video
Thank you Ray! :)
You are a very talented maker! I wish I was half as creative as you
Thank you! I don't know what to say :)
Pask Makes nuff said already! :-) you r welcome
3:47 - fantastic shot :) seriously awesome build! love the graphics! a pleasure to watch :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Beautiful and smart! Thanks for the upload
Neat looking wheel. Perhaps a brass or aluminum busing on both sides of the bench leg and the chop to keep the threaded rod from wobbling.
Thanks Dan! Even though the wobble doesn't affect the operation it would be nice to eliminate it. I'm going to put a couple of hardwood guides either side of the screw, at the back.
That is sexy. Good work. The old grinder wheels polished up give a great piece of style to it.
Thank you Mike! Glad you liked it! :)
Always great, quality of presentation, as well as content. Thanks...
Awesome! I like your creative and inventive spirit. Very good video!
Thank you! :)
I must say, you have great ideas!
