- A Moxon Vise is a great tool to have when you start to work with hand tools. It's essential for dovetails and other joinery methods that require you to work on the end of a board.
Easily clamp it on your workbench and store it away while not in use!
Best thing about this Moxon Vise, the hardware only costs $40!

I have to say, you must have been a science teacher in a former lifetime. Very concise explanation of the whole sequence of fabrication. Kudos, and thanks. My only minor observation is that it would be useful to first show the completed vise, then show how it's built. That way it is easier to follow the sequence conceptually if you know what the end result should look like.
Thanks, Tamar. This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I found it extremely clear and helpful. Personally, I prefer videos like yours with vocal descriptions of the process rather than just the high speed visuals. I've decided to save some money (at the obvious expense of time) and make my own handles by inserting nuts into hardwood, which allows me to buy the threaded rod, washers and nuts for under $25. I'll certainly be watching some more of your videos.
This is how DIY videos should be made. You did an outstanding job with this! Clear, concise and no stupid yelling/hyper active/BS blabbering.
You always cheer me up Tamar, I know you are a busy mom, yet you still have energy and time to make genuinely useful woodworking vlogs 👏 well done
I really love your channel and projects. You're a wonderful asset to the woodworking community.
Parabéns, muito talentosa! Sempre fazendo ótimos trabalhos!
I think there's a special place in heaven for content creators who make videos because of a need...
Thanks Tamar, everytime I watch a video of yours...I learn something that saves me money.
And, I love those coveralls 😍😍😍😍😍
Ha! Awesome so hear!
Najbolja stolarska stega. Napravicu istu.Hvala od srca.❤
Making one of these things has been on my to-do list since I first watched this video 3 or 4 years ago. I finally got around to buying the metal parts, and I'm nearly done with the wood working. It has been very handy to be able to come back to the vid time after time so I can refresh my memory. I find your explanations clearer than the instructions that come with the hardware.
Thanks!
Thank you Tamar for this great video! Found the hardware kit for just over 40, a few great boards in Menards value section, and reproduced this vise. It's already helped me make a precision rout in a curved infinity mirror frame I could not have done otherwise. Appreciate your channel!
Awesome
Love the out takes, lol. Thank you for such great content. Just getting started and I'm trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. Today or tomorrow I will start making some dust and thanks to you, I will be able to do so more confidently and soon after, with a Moxon Vise :)
Awesome.
Love the demonstration of a sharp bit vs dull bit. LOL
Esbanjando simpatia sempre, e quanto conhecimentos e capacidade no que faz!
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Once again...outstanding! I’m almost 50, I wish I’d had someone like you to teach me & others your skills. No ego, nothing to prove , just concise instructions and a love of what you do. I truly hope that young female “creators” are as inspired by you as I am, Gail Plymouth uk. Xx
Thanks so much! I hope other women start woodworking too!
@@3x3CustomTamar My mother was the one who taught me woodworking. I now take every opportunity to teach my daughters.
Alice Galvan so awesome!!!
I’ve just started a furniture making course and I’m so excited to have found your channel 😊 as a female learning a trade it’s always so inspiring to find experienced ladies to learn from and your work is so inspiring. Thanks for making such quality videos. I cant wait to watch more. 😊
Venessa Robins that’s so awesome to hear! I wish I had some formal training of sorts. Or figured out this is what I wanted to do earlier in life. Ha
It was nice to see that you had to use a dull bit. That, in itself, gave the presentation a sense of reality.
Hahah! Glad you enjoyed it 😂
The fact that she's using tools that all of us can well, kind of afford and hopefully fit in our shop, and not all Festool everything, that alone is impressive.
Tamar is a natural teacher. I learn so much watching her videos.
Awesome to hear!
You continue to amaze me with your skills. I've watched almost every video you've posted. I'm working to get back into my shop after back surgery, then I've got a lot of things to make!
Thanks so much! I hope that’s soon! Get well quick!
I think this gentleman loves you too!!
Thanks for passing this information along! I could use one like this, going to look into ordering the kit. Nice chisel work in setting the nuts!
Thanks! That was my favorite part of this build. Ha. So satisfying to get that perfect fit
Don't think I ever said "Thanks!" for this video, which helped me build my own Moxon vise. It's been indispensable for the last 2+ years. Based on a Rex Krueger tip, I used a stair tread and it has been fine.
Tamar you have amazed for longer than I can remember, your hard work and brilliance shines through on everything you do.
Thanks, Tamar for this very useful and well done tutorial. I recently completed a Roubo bench and was very pleased with Benchcrafted's hardware, plans, and support. I was considering using their Moxon vice hardware and plans, but had pretty much blown my budget on the prior project, so was searching for less expensive alternatives. Your tutorial along with the hardware and plans you recommended were the ticket. The hardware kit saved me $100, is very rugged, and well suited for a sturdy, functional, and attractive vise. I used 8/4 ash and some crubber left over from the Roubo build and jazzed it up a bit by sculpting lambs' tongues to the ends of the 45º slope on the front jaw. Thanks for the inspiration and guidance.
So awesome to hear! Love that I saved you money! Sounds like a cool looking vise
First time commenting. I just want to say that I love how approachable your woodworking is. You actually do work in your shop... its not all work on your shop. While you use a nice diversity of tools its cool to see you use things like a tapering jig to joint the edge. Anyway, thanks for a great channel!
Glad you like it! Thanks!
Always instructional while being entertaining. Thanks for passing on your wisdom.
My pleasure!!
Continue to be impressed with your videos, no non-sense, just what I need and why.
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
The lady has serious woodworking chops...
Great video! I wanted to build a moxon vise for a while. Last summer I was at a local flea market and found gigantic bolts with 1-1/4" shanks. I laminated 3/4" poplar for the jaws and used a piece of curly oak for the front handles. The jaws are lined with cork shelf liner which is very grippy. Your idea of the oval holes will be added to my vise, it makes sense that I would have angled work from time to time. Thanks for the video and the other ideas.
Sounds awesome! Yeah, It’s pretty cool to have that versatility
It was oddly satisfying to watch you chisel out the recession for that nut. Great looking piece overall!
Haha! It was even more fun to do!
Yes, and I loved the technique how you cut sort of perpendicular into each corner as you went, I don't think I would have thought of that but it clearly worked great.
Jeremy Specce yeah, maybe I saw that somewhere or maybe it just made sense to me. Not sure. Either way, it worked great and was fun to do! Ha
Thank you for good, informative content. Plus your well scripted delivery is spot on, no rambling ever. Great job!
Was on my wishlist to purchase - thanks for saving me a bunch of shekels with this video. I have some nice wallnut planks that will work. All the best for 2023
Tamar, I absolutely love your woodworking videos. You're refreshing, fun, and very talented. Regarding the vise, the build is clear and well-executed, and absolutely holds up to your typical outstanding work.
A brief note of caution to folks, however:
The reason this is SUCH an affordable option is the TYPE of threaded rod being employed here. This is standard, 10 TPI Threaded Rod.
This means that the threads are shaped like this: \/`\/`\/`\/`\/
Most vises, clamps, anything that needs smooth actuation and really strong, solid clamping FORCE is made with Acme threads (you've probably heard the term used, and in this case, it is NOT referring to Roadrunner cartoons).
Acme threads are shaped like this: `|_|`|_|`|_|`|_|`|_|` (note the square shape, vs the typical V shape).
The reasoning being pretty clear: when you bear down a bunch of force, you have that constant thickness throughout, vs the tapering metal, which will wear and bend, ultimately introducing more racking, slop, and chatter to the vise. Moreover, that rod is 3/4-10. 3/4" diameter, 10 threads per inch. This means to move that rod one inch requires ten rotations of the handle. Compare this to Acme, which, for a comparable diameter, you're far more likely to see 3/4-6 (6 TPI). This is because the meatier threads maintain 90-degree surface engagement (i.e. they don't try to "slip downhill"). This, coupled with the beefier thickness of each thread means less need to be contacted to maintain the same amount of friction (and it opens/closes almost twice as fast).
...it also explains why Acme threaded rods are almost 4x the price for the same hardness of steel and why (and this is where people screw - ba-BUMP! - themselves) the Acme collars/flanges/nuts are anywhere from 5x-25x the price, again for the same steel with LESS cuts made into it.
This is not to discourage anyone, just to inform.
Thanks for the info. I havnt found the lack of acme threads to be a problem with clamping force
Thanks for this interesting piece of information.
Great video! My one suggestion would have been to instead of making flush registration tabs (11:32), make the front jaw slightly taller than the back so that when you put your moxon vise onto your work bench, you can just easily push the vice back until the bottom lip of the taller front jaw is pressing up against the edge of your bench. Result, you will have an automatic flush mating surface between the back jaw and the bench edge! Overall, good stuff though! :)
Thanks! That’s def another way. I didn’t like that way bc you have to have the jaws closed in order for it to register. I’ve used a vise like that before and I just didn’t like it. But to each their own! Lots of different methods!
haha in the last 30 seconds you said... "This wasn't sponsored or anything..." then you said... "Thank you to WD40 for sponsoring this video". I love it!
Yeah. Referring to the hardware...
An idea to joint an edge on the table saw is to push a piece of angle iron across the fence with the wood.
There is a controlled, skilled & enthusiastic presentation that make your videos informative & first-class.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thanks so much!
Yep! So true. Excellence!
I agree 100%. Self-taught, practical and most importantly realistic videos with everyday tools.🙂
love this. gonna make one myself just like it. love the bloopers too :)
Ha! Awesome! Have fun with it!
Thank you for this very well designed and filmed video. I always enjoy your videos. I've enjoyed this one so much, and needing a moxon vise myself (and for the love of God vises are obviously made out of diamonds and gold making them sooo expensive), I bought the hardware and will be building my moxon vise this weekend. I can't wait! Thank you as always!
My kit arrived yesterday and I can't wait to get in my shop to build my vise.
Awesome
On the one hand, I like the round hand wheels that come with the Benchcrafted kit.
On the other hand, I could buy 4 of these kits for the cost of one Benchcrafted kit...
Also, if you make the front jaw so it sticks down a little further than the rear jaw, it will automatically index the rear jaw of the vice to flush with the workbench edge.
Only when its closed tho. But yeah good idea
Mark Beiser I wonder if you just made the front jaw a wide enough to extend down to the bottom of the bench top if that would improve holding surface area??
Haha! Yeah. To each their own I guess. It’s nice that there are options out there!
I keep thinking about a moxon vise, but I have this nasty habit of wiping excess glue on the end of my bench making it pretty useless for a moxon. Maybe I'll build and sell an excess glue wiping station to everyone. :)
martino amello hahaha wipe the excess glue UNDER your table! 😂
Great video. I have the hardware, but haven't got around to building one yet. One critique I would make is that you switched reference surfaces while marking the center on both boards, at the 2.40 and 3.40 mark. Always a good idea to be consistent on which reference surfaces you're using. Again, I am nit picking, but still a great video and the inspiration I needed to build mine.
mark center from both sides
I’ve been needing a work bench vice for a long time I think this is a cool way to do it!….update…..I just ordered the parts kit for the Moxon vise! Thanks for the info!
Awesome. Have fun!
Thank you for posting, looking for vice ideas and this fits the bill.
Thank you from South Wales,UK
👍
I watch a LOT of " how to " videos, some that have great ideas but poor presentation. You are VERY THOROUGH in the step by step. Thanks for the videos .
So awesome to hear! Thanks!
I agree thanks for the tutorial, great job!
You could've also blued the metal to protect it from rust
"Hit it with a little cold blue" was precisely what I was thinking while watching the video.
Have you ever owned a firearm? If so you will know that bluing is just about the absolute minimum of rust protection there is. It might work in Arizona but not in Georgia.
@@jeffstanley4593 I lost all my firearms in an unfortunate boating accident
OK, I need this vise. I just hope I have as much fun building it. Brilliant work!!!
Can’t believe I missed this one! Great video, and love the outtakes lol. Hope your new shop is coming along nicely.
I just watch your videos to hope you say “drawer”
Ha! Sorry to disappoint
"So after the vice I put a drah on the bench for the people that like to hear me saw drah...or draw but never drawer" ;)
But, "Inch and a corder" works too!😉
A good video kid and I am learning from you. BUT you must go back and do your safety NO long sleeves and RINGS ok I have spent my working life in heavy industry and I saw some BAD BAD injuries DO your safety ok keep up the good work
I'm a member of your fan club. First I want to agree with Haydn, hair in a bun and under a net. The middle finger of my left hand is about 3/16ths of an inch shorter than the middle finger of my right hand. I won't bore you except to say plain unvarnished sloth on my part.
I want to brag on myself a little. My shop has been in a storage locker for the past eighteen months. I've finally found new space. Eight hundred square feet, LPG fired central heat, hot and cold running water, full sit down bathroom, room on the lot for my 32' motor home and my 19' aluminum step van that I'm building out for a shaved ice truck. Five hundred twenty-five a month water and electricity included. Over the years I've done a lot of work for this man and he wants to keep me close by. In fact next week I'm building a flight of stairs from the first to second floors of his new house.
My friends are wonderful.
My work is rewarding.
My life is grand!
Best to all!
"A good video _kid_ ..." ? 😶
What kind of guy actually speaks like that to a woman? 🤔
@@AsinineComment i do fuckwit
I should get college credit for all your videos that I've avidly watched!😮 Great education!😊
To avoid rust on your metal vise, you can try nickel plating : it's simple and cheap.
Again great video :-)
I work in my garage, but I clearly need a permanent workbench with a Moxon Vise. Thanks for sharing. I've bookmarked the source of the parts. Priceless!
Awesome
Thanks for this, Tamar. I bought the same kit, followed your instructions. Mine's a bit smaller but awesome. And I encountered the exact opposite with Forstner bits....my 3/4" plunged through like melted butter while my old 1" was spinning there, burning enough wood to make s'mores at a campfire. I doubt that I'll add any finish to it, after all, it's a shop tool, not a Lamborghini, haha.
Awesome guide! I’ll be making one like this in the shop for sure. Thank you!
Aaaaand it is easily removable and mobile! The very best wise of this type! Thanks so much!!!
My favorite part of this channel is that she is sponsored by fucking WD-40. One of the best sponsors I’ve seen by far.
Hahah! I love WD-40 🤘
I like this product. Seems like an easy way to add a temporary vise to your workspace. Thanks for the great video.
Great job! Love that you included the deleted scenes at the end. 😅
😂
Your instructions are so much better than the instructions that come with the hardware. Kudos
Ha awesome to hear!
Thank you so much for sharing this I've always wanted to make one so in the very near future I will keep up the great work young lady
This Lady produces really helpful videos... Clear, methodical, relaxed... And her beauty is a nice bonus :) ...
I've been looking for a better moxon vise solution than I'm currently using. I think this is it. Thanks for sharing. On the kids and bus, thanks for sharing that. It's easy to forget that outside your shop videos, you have a whole private life like everyone else. I enjoy your videos and have utilized several ideas from them in my shop.
Glad it was helpful! Haha yeah.... This is just my work, not my life! ha
Thanks for this! I watched your vid a little while and finally got around to making my Moxon vise. Great easy to follow directions.
In the process of building this right now…can’t wait to put it to use!!
Thats so wonderful!Very easy Tod built.Thank you for sharing
Great video with simple instructions. Looks like this Moxon vise would be a necessity for any serious woodworker.
Glad you liked it!
Cool projects- and outtakes at end- hilarious!
I built this and it's a very welcome addition to my workbench! Thank you for posting this!
Awesome
Thanks for sharing this Tamar! I want to make one for my shop. It would come in handy for many applications. You always give such good instruction on how you do everything too. Keep up the great work and have fun with your new vise!
Awesome! Thanks! So glad you liked it!
It’s very satisfying to see that nut fit so perfectly in the hole you drilled and chiseled for it. Also love seeing the wood grain come alive when the Danish oil is spread on it. I’d never heard of a Moxon vise before. I will keep this episode in mind for when I begin to build things large enough to use one! Thanks for continuing to share your projects with us.
So glad you liked it! It was really satisfying when I got the perfect fit. Ha.
I love your videos, I don't see all of them but I'm excited when I do. I like the clips at the end for the real life of kids and what happens when you show stuff. It's a great video of using what you have and adding hardware to make life easier. Great job keep it up 👍
Thanks so much! So glad you like them!
Bought the kit about six months ago and finally put it together yesterday. Excellent video. Thank you. Ha…my Forstner bits were dull as well. I just love the smell of burning wood.😀 Oh well, shop equipment doesn’t have to be pretty, right? Oh dear, did I just blaspheme? 😮
Great video - I had never heard of a Moxon vice before, but I now think I will make one instead of buying a new vice for my new shed!
Awesome
I just ordered my hardware can't wait to get started I love the way you explain everything in detail
Awesome! Good luck with it!
Built this great Moxon vise referencing 3x3Custom....my third project build using her plans or watching her videos. Very clear instructions!
Awesome to hear!
The beveled front part was very important. Thank you, teacher
Glad you liked it
Very good teaching, better than every experient woodworker I saw
Wow - thanks for leaving the blooper in; that was priceless.
😂😂
Your work is very cool, beautiful and accurate. I am from Iraq and have worked as a carpenter for 30 years and I have not seen this beauty at work. I hope that you put the Arabic language in the translation so that I can understand what you say and do, and this is a hope for you. With all due respect and appreciation to you

Thanks for another very clear demonstration. You have wonderful teaching skills.
I really enjoyed this video, especially the small tabs you added that will make using it quick and easy.
Thanks! That was a fun little thing to work out
Really excellent video and I am in awe of your chisel skills. You made the nut opening exact and made it look effortless. AWESOME! Definitely worth making making the vise.
Thanks so much! That part was so much fun. Ha
I love your channel! Your shop and projects are close enough in reach of where I am in my project-i-ness (yes, that is (now) a word...), and making things that are helpful to me. Please keep doing what you do. You work in a rare sweet spot between the “kitchen table” and seemingly “fully endorsed” Makers out there.
Ha! Glad to hear! I hate when ppl say “yeah I could make that with $50k worth of tools too” my usual response is, if these tools cost you $50k where you live, move! Haha!
I've been looking at building one of these recently. I want to build it for lutherie, so I'll be integrating it into my workbench and probably adding some dog holes on top.
Homemade tools are the best. Thanks for showing me a tool I didn't know I needed....but do.
These videos are great! I have been wanting to get back into woodworking for a long time now. These wonderful videos have me salivating. Thanks so much. Dave
Awesome to hear
Cute out-takes, and a great build video. Thanks for sharing.
Ha! Thanks!
I’ll remember this, thanks for showing this one.
Awesome video! Great commentary as you worked through your project in noting the inner tedious processes. It will definitely encourage others to take on projects.
Glad you liked it!
Great job, Tamar! Appreciate you sharing this, as I purchased the same kit and will be making my moxon vise this weekend. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun with the build!
Finished my Moxon build tonight! This video was great help and inspiration!
Awesome
Very clearly presented. Doable with hand tools, and relatively low cost.
Already made my moxon vise but this(and Tom Johnson's Video) will be pleasant watching since there's no rugby this afternoon and we're semi quarantined here in France....cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
We’re stuck inside for the next couple weeks! Lots of CZcams to watch! Stay safe!
@@3x3CustomTamar There is one match. Yes, schooling on computers here in France; everything shut down. My Franco-American Son and his girlfriend laughed at my buying 4 jars of Skippy Peanut Butter along with rice and pasta.

Excellent video as usual! Great project!
Thanks from London England 👍😎😎
Thanks so much for posting all the tools you were using! I need to pick up a few of these. Great video!
Glad you found it helpful!
I just bought the hardware and can't wait for it to get here to make one. Following your video should make it easy! Thanks so much for taking the time.
Awesome. Good luck!
Very helpful instructions/tips on building a Moxon vise. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Tamar,
Very enjoyable video. Everything from the sound, lighting, editing, content, etc. All first class, which takes time and is not easy. Although it is an older video, it's still good to see young women just blowing the damn doors off of stereotypes, to the point that it isn't even considered a conversation. Thanks for this.
💪💪💪
This was a great video with probably the most straight forward moxon vise build I’ve seen. Thanks for posting. 👍🏽
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Fantastic, I bought this same kit last week and your video just happened to be in my suggested videos list.
That’s creepy. Ha!
I just ordered this kit so when it gets here I will need you to come put it together for me. Oh yeah, bring some wood. 😂😂 Love the videos.
Even if a person had no interest in a moxon vice, your explanation of everything you do while you work is excellent. I picked up some unexpected tips while watching and listening - like scribing with a knife blade instead using a pencil for chizzling the nut recess hole. Also, your chizzling techniques were good reminders of how do it for precise results. Thanks so much! I'll be back.
Thanks, I must make one of those. Few advantages over my regular vice. Enjoyed watching.
Have fun with the build!
