Absolutely awesome idea! I have been dealing with the same issue of maring the wood. Thanks for sharing this idea! Im going to have to make a pair for my vise.
Nice idea, I had my doubts about not including the thickness of the leather in your calculations, but the water and clamps proved me wrong! Thanks for sharing!
I tried the cutting board method too, but got marks on soft wood too. I tried using Pyrex container lids because they are featureless but not thick enough for my liking, so this leather idea is great!
I really enjoy your channel. I learn a lot from you. Thanks for sharing your expertise🙂🙂 Quick question... I tried using forester bits to make weights like the ones you use to balance lures but I couldn’t remove them from the wood mold. I used oak. Different sized bits 3/8” deep. Did you prep the mold with something first?
Thank you for watching! Sometimes I have a few stubborn holes that won't release very easily. I don't prepare them, but they do seem to release better after a few uses. I think the hot lead burns the wood slightly and makes it release better over time. If it still won't release after cooling and vigorous banging, you might try a softer wood with more flex in it. I've been using pine. Hope this helps.
@@MASKTERTV I did reply; sorry you did not get it. I use small paint brushes to apply epoxy. The best epoxies I have used are TrueCoat and East Coast Resin. Those are both really smooth and have very few bubbles. Best wishes!
Best and detailed silicone mold making video. Thank you!
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!
Nice one Zimmy, thanks for sharing this tip. Another great video to go with all the rest you do. Cheers from Down Under.
Thank you very much!
Magnífica idea.
Intentaré imitarla.

Yes, it wasn't too much work and now I use them all the time.
Amazing idea
Thanks!
Not gluing the leather enables you to replace the leather as it wears out. Great video.
Great point, thanks for your support!
that works well
A much needed upgrade! Thanks for watching!
Great idea and a fun little project too👍.
Thanks, I'm excited to use it. It's always a pleasure working with good tools.
Yeah this is way better than jamming some old rags in between the vice lol
I've done that too!
