You are making the best carpentry videos on CZcams. I have been a carpenter for 13 years, and your precision and craftsmanship inspires me to be better. Your logical techniques are inovative and purposeful. Your work is pushing me to be better. Please keep making your videos.
Thats the best thing I could hear. Thank you very much. I have been in the industry for a long time now. Year over year all I see is people trying to do lesser quality, faster and cheaper. Its great to hear that there is another professional out there going in the other direction. You keep watching, I'll keep posting.
Superb narrative, especially for a newbie like myself. I find the videos with a voice over are far more informative. When you are creating you can concentrate on that without thinking of what to say. Then when you are doing the voice over you can get everything in that you might forget to say when creating. I also find the care you take with the smallest jobs is a great teaching aid, to me as a novice the channels that don’t cut corners get the best results.
i completely agree, many otherwise informative postings lose me after about 10 secounds because either the music drives me nuts or the presenter seems to have to make up for his / her lack of authority on the subject matter by screaming at the top of his / her lungs. add constant hand flattering and i‘m done. Save the Dominos!
I showed my wife your videos and told her that I want a shop like yours, she just rolled her eyes and walked away... (I think this was wifespeak for "You bet, baby! Sounds like a plan!" Love the vise. It's going on my ever-expanding 'to-do list'. Fantastic video content and quality (as usual).
I always enjoy Mike’s videos. He is a pro who cares about the quality of his work. I built my Moxon vise based on this video over the many other ones out there, and I’ve been very happy wit h it. If you have a garage shop like mine without room for a traditional woodworking bench and vise, this one makes life much easier.
Dear Mike, lovely job on the Moxon vice. Very handy to get working up high and you don’t have to bend over. Your spacious workshop is one we could all aspire to own. No bumping into things all the time. Well done.
Thank you. I'm happy to hear you enjoy my humor. Dry humor on a CZcams video is hit and miss. Oh and I just upped my apprentices pay to two cookies a day.
Most excellent. Your approach with stand-up voiceover does, however, reveal concealed intellectual pursuits, notwithstanding well-developed skill at the crafts and envious facilities. Cute broom kid, too. Thank you.
Love the janitor! Great work. I trying to get the final design together right now. I love the steel sleeves you have. Very nice. I love coming back you your video just to see the little guy cleaning up the shop. I envoy you! God Bless
Child labor at its best... some young man is going to follow in his dad’s footsteps. Great video... love the calming manor in which you speak. And the vice looks awesome and doable. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us... oh and dude, I’d die for a shop like that and quality tools like those! 👍🏼
Stumbled onto your mega door video and took a dive into your library. I've had materials for my moxon for about 2 years. I think it's time to do something about that. Nice details on your build. I'm changing mine a little bit after watching this. Thanks!
Your flowing ponytail looks just wonderful mate 😂 Your secret is safe with me old boy. Your vice looks good aswell i like the laminated colours .I'm situated on the other side of the pond in the east of England. Carry on the good work I like the video
"...this is my actual NORMAL working speed..." LOL don't we wish?! Diggin' the channel Mike, thanks for sharing. Your videos are the kind of videos that I find the most helpful and entertaining to watch--insightful, well crafted, and a sense of humor! As a fellow woodworker for hire, I never feel like I know enough or that I can't learn anything new about working wood so it's nice to see you sharing tips of all skill-levels in your videos. Looking forward to watching more! Thanks brother, R.
You have to love a huge wood Shop! I inherited a 60,000 sq’ dairy barn that I divided into cabinet making, general woodwork, loft, wood sorting and leather shop..fun! The old farm out buildings house the sawmill, two lumber kilns, heavy equipment storage, machine shop and garage. That’s the upside...the downside is it has weathered 114 years many of which were years of no maintenance or outright abuse... but I’m retired and now this is my job!
Hi mike you have the best helper any father would ever wish for, it reminds me of my oldest son in fact he was just about his age when he started to work with me. You are very skilled thanks
I like how you use the tablesaw for its most efficient task, and then the sliding tablesaw for its most efficient task. I've really only seen people using one or the other, but there's a great case here for using both
Thank you. It is nice having both. I really wouldn't want to have only a slider. They are really inconvenient for ripping solid stock, at least for me. I think there is a great case for having both if possible.
Well done! Thanks for the links. My 1st attempt at a moxon was OK, but this version is light years better. Will try to make one soon --- using the parts you did here. Thanks!
Mike awesome new vise for your shop like everything else that you make I've been doing this for over thirty five years and I'm very impressed by you keep up this amazing work and thank you for sharing everything with us thumbs up my friend
Forecast 18 below tonight. It's all about the apprentice. Had the privilege of working with my two sons. When I can't find my ryoba my wife has it. She uses it to open pumpkins.
Yikes, -18 is cold. Agreed, the little ones are really the reason to get up in the morning. I can't decide if I would be mad or if I would laugh if my wife opened a pumpkin with one of my handsaws. Thats funny, love it!
As a leather worker I’m more into wrapping the leather over the sides and tacking under extreme stretch..no glue needed! Use Fiebings or Dr Jackson’s Cleaner/Conditioner to maintain every 6 months.
Hi Mike, moxon vice looks an essential piece of kit; you have inspired me to have a go at making one. Once again, brilliant clips due to your professionalism and detailed approach, I am able to follow what you do. One can never have enough clamps! Love your sense of Humour. 😀
Great inspirational DIY video...Really liked your method of using the mill file to knock the edges off the threaded rod, and then waxing it for less friction with the bushings and handles.....I will incorporate this method in my build of this vise as well....... Great Job! However more importantly..... your voice very much reminds me of Commander Cody's great song...."And son, Your going to drive me to drinking, if you don't stop driving........That ..... hot......rod... ...Lincoln"... I play the guitar, and son, let me say.......you were made for that song.
Thanks for the inspiration Mike. Im making one similar, but going to add a t-track and stops to that router shelf so I can reverse it on the workbench and use it as a mortising jig.
@@MikeFarrington Got it built, but vertical racking is a problem when using it as a mortising jig. I am going to try adding a bottom screw to offset the racking. Not sure if it will be good enough for mortising, but I'll let you know and send a pic if it works. Loving your design though.
Wow, timing was great on this video! Getting ready to make a new bench and was wondering about an end vise and this will fit the bill perfectly! Thanks- oh, and great choice is shop broom; had my Libman for over 10 years and have not found a better one.
A very well made Moxon Vice,im sure a vice made with such high quality craftsmanship would cost a very pretty penny indeed,and the vidio was very well made also,definatley gets my thumbs up.
Lovely video, thank you for sharing it. The voice over was very soothing! I thought the interior rabbet for routing was innovative and liked the tip about slightly smoothing the threads.
Great vise. Thanks for the heads up on wing nuts! I`ve been going nuts trying to find knobs that look good and won`t break the bank. Just ordered them from MSC. Excellent video, well done. Once again, thanks!
@@MikeFarrington I just expect to see top of the line everything in shops like yours; it’s awesome. Like if Festool made clamps, you’d have em. Those HF F-style clamps have worked well for me too, but they do get rusty in my humid 9 months of the year Florida garage.
@@jeffroberts760 Funny, I think other CZcamsrs have set an interesting standard. My shop is different than most CZcamsrs in that I purchased everything from earnings made by my woodworking, not video production. Meaning, absolutely everything has been done on a shoestring budget.
I like seeing these early videos, the V.O. is a little sleepier and under-amped, the video quality a little blurrier. Good on you for continuously improving your quality and presentation. Never plateau, always strive to be better
Its been a slow climb, but I have really enjoyed learning about video. I have a few big plans that I will roll out around the begging of 2019. Should really kick things into high gear.
Great video. Watched it in the middle of the night, so sound was off, and your camera journey made it so I was easily able to understand what you were doing. I wondered where did he get those knobs, and post show I see a linkie for them, Sweet. Only thing I would say is trust your skills a little more and sell that biscuit maker. The glue is way stronger than they are, and you proved you knew what to do with tiny misalignment's. Time spent on them was time you could have been playing with that cute little Man you have sweeping your floors.
Pretty subdued today Mike.. not that you are otherwise boisterous, you just seem a little quiet today.. as always, the shop apprentice is hard at work and so darn cute! The vise is beautiful
You make some of the best woodworking vids. Many thanks as I have enjoyed every single one I have watched so far! And your spacious workshop is a dream! Inspiring Colorado :)
Love this build. wonder where we can get plans/patterns? I agree with other here, your demeanor is perfect, no music except sound of wood being exprtly workded Kudos, keep on keepin on!
@@MikeFarrington i think your doing reallybwell at this point. Yours are some of the best to watch not only for quality of editing but also the content you deliver is great info
I've worked in smaller joinery shops than this guys home workshop, I do so envy the Americans the space they seem to have. But hey, i did enjoy watching how the other half live.
This is a really clever design. I built it, and it kicks arse. Thank you! A question about preparation for routing out the waste. Is it like this: Cut the pin walls with a handsaw, clear the waste with coping saw, square the pin faces with a chisel (at least the top part), then use a template bit to ride those squared faces to cut to baseline? I've recently learned to hand cut dovetails, and I'm looking for an efficient hybrid method that doesn't require finicky jigs. Your method looks fantastic to me!
I live in northern Colorado as well, just east out Longmont, where I have my own wood shop in my back yard. . Would love to meet, I don’t know any other woodworkers here in Colorado.
Nice and neat. The only thing I'm not convinced of is the type of wood you used on the other hand I find quite useful the recess you made on top of both jaws
Nice project Mike. Good content, good pace. From a photographers viewpoint I wish your lighting was more even. Pretty dim in a number of shots. Please keep them coming.
Thank you Dennis. This was my first video. I have since expanded my lens collection, which helps with the light, but doesn't solve the problem. In the future I will add more light to the shop. If you are a photographer, you know all this stuff is really really expensive.
Mike Farrington understood. Something else that helps with the lighting imbalance are unshaded windows when it’s bright on that side of the shop outside. That’s an easy fix too. Either do your videos at a different time or hang some shades. You’ll figure it out soon. Good luck.
@@dennisfahlstrom7422 Very good point. Huge contrast is difficult to overcome. Lately I have been covering up a window or two with a big sheet of cardboard. It helps, but its not a long term solution.
Greetings from Golden! I'm getting back into woodworking, but I still need a planer, and more wood to make benches. I got a vice assembly but if I put this much in the jaw it'll bately open. I'll try 2 layers and see if it works.

Whoa! I like the retracting string thing on the drill press chuck key. That's genius! I need one!
That is a neat trick, its just one of the things office workers use for their key cards.
You calmful voiceover makes the video very relaxing! I was about to say what a great vise, but you little helper stole the show!
Thank you!

I just bought a TayTools Moxon kit the other day....Glad to see different people put their "touches" on the Moxon....I've garnered several ideas....
Great stuff, their kits are awesome.

I like the small details you include.
They are important, as is the humor.
And, naturally, a shop helper who works for cookies.
Thank you. I'm happy to hear you enjoy my humor. Dry humor on a CZcams video is hit and miss. Oh and I just upped my apprentices pay to two cookies a day.
Most excellent. Your approach with stand-up voiceover does, however, reveal concealed intellectual pursuits, notwithstanding well-developed skill at the crafts and envious facilities. Cute broom kid, too. Thank you.
Appreciated
Glad to see the young one in the shop. Teach 'em early. He's learning the first lesson of every apprentice no matter what the trade. Subscribed.
Thank you. I love having the little guy around. Great to have you onboard.

Thank you, so far it has worked great.
The apprentice that is starting by sweeping is good. Help him to love woodworking, too.
Thank you. I will introduce him to it, if he loves it, great, if not, hopefully he will find something to be passionate about.

Only thing I would say is trust your skills a little more and sell that biscuit maker. The glue is way stronger than they are, and you proved you knew what to do with tiny misalignment's. Time spent on them was time you could have been playing with that cute little Man you have sweeping your floors.

The Boardroom could also mean the Boredroom . Its where people go when they get bored to try and find something to do :)
Sure, why not.
Very cool handles! I may order these. thanks!
For the money they are really good.
love your shop help

You exceptionally neat...Shows in your work. Thank you for sharing. The little one...stole the show
Thank you very much.
Nice project Mike. Good content, good pace. From a photographers viewpoint I wish your lighting was more even. Pretty dim in a number of shots. Please keep them coming.
Thank you Dennis. This was my first video. I have since expanded my lens collection, which helps with the light, but doesn't solve the problem. In the future I will add more light to the shop. If you are a photographer, you know all this stuff is really really expensive.
Mike Farrington understood. Something else that helps with the lighting imbalance are unshaded windows when it’s bright on that side of the shop outside. That’s an easy fix too. Either do your videos at a different time or hang some shades. You’ll figure it out soon. Good luck.
@@dennisfahlstrom7422 Very good point. Huge contrast is difficult to overcome. Lately I have been covering up a window or two with a big sheet of cardboard. It helps, but its not a long term solution.

Greetings from Golden! I'm getting back into woodworking, but I still need a planer, and more wood to make benches. I got a vice assembly but if I put this much in the jaw it'll bately open. I'll try 2 layers and see if it works.
Golden is beautiful. I think two layers would work just fine.
Excellent video and process Thanks for sharing
