i've truly been scouring the internet for a video on how to make a moxon vise without the use CNCs or multiple power saws
thank you so much for this video, four years later it's still greatly appreciated!
Thank you, I’m glad it’s helpful!
2 tablas, 2 bulones, 2 mariposas y listo. EL mejor video de todo youtube sobre como hacer una prensa casera.
Saludos desde Argentina!
Muchas gracias, me alegro de que haya sido útil.
Genial, lo mejor y barato que he visto. Saludos desde Chile
I love your style. The blend of old and new tools is reassuring to new woodworkers, and it also shows Craftsmanship isn't crazy expensive. Nice job! Thanks!
Thank you very much!
This is wonderful! So simple, with love and only with hand tools. And in the end, useful and nice thing. Keep on!
Really enjoyed this build particularly the use of 'vintage' hand tools all the way through. Classic carpentry never gets old!
Thank you!
A true carpenter's skill, simple, easy and professional.
Thank you for the kind words!
I have watched about five or six similar videos on how to build a Moxon Vise. Yours is a no-fuss, no-nonsense presentation that beginners can feel confident about following. Thank you! I bought my hardware from Taylor Toolworks for approx $50, but regular wing nuts and bolts will work fine, too, as you point out.
Thank you very much! Glad it was helpful👍🏻👍🏻
@@Crowhollowwoodworks It was. One of the ways in which this was helpful was the (almost) no machinery approach. As for myself, I work exclusively with hand tools. Partly because hand tools and methods is what I inherited from my 96-year-old cabinet maker father and from four generations of cabinet makers before him in my family. And partly because I need to protect my hands from injury. All the other videos I watched on making this vise (often the first for many) used expensive tools.
Great video man! Keep them coming... looking forward to seeing your work
Thank you Zacary! Working on another one now👍🏻
Glad to see the high degree of hand tools in this video. Most woodworking videos are
feature extensive use of high priced power tool, of every description, yet this one demonstrates hand tools, with only a palm sander and a table saw falling into the power tool category. Applause for use of brace and bit, a tool from before the 1800's.
Thanks Shaun! I try to use as many hand tools as I can in my woodworking.
I agree it is much easier to use all power tools less old school skill.Great work!
Nice! Was super cool watching you use old school tools on this build!
Thanks James! I’m trying to incorporate more handtools into my workflow👍🏻
That thing is big, badass and beautiful. I frikkin love it! 👌👏👏👏😍
Very good I like it! Simple inexpensive but effective! Thank you.
Awesome! I’m glad you liked it!
Well done, love the use of your hand tools
Nice job! Great idea using the rear square section as the clamp piece too leaving the vice pieces looking clean and neat 👏🇦🇺✌️
Thank you!
Loved the hand drill. I had one about 25 years ago. Never managed to drill anything with it. Great and neat job!
Thank you very much!🙏🏻
I still have one.
nice built. a moxon vise is very helpful in the shop!
Mosca Woodworking thank you! I use it in just about every project, it’s super helpful.
Thanks for the video. You scared the crap out of me watching how you trimmed the laminated blocks on the table saw. The thin edge should be on the outside.
Why the thin edge should be on the outside? If not what's gonna happen?
@@BRUCELAN168 The way it was done increases the risk of kickback. Granted, the off-cuts from this project were small, thin strips, so kickback wouldn't have been as dangerous, but cutting so your off-cuts aren't trapped between blade and the fence is a good habit to get into.
Awesome to see you use hand tools! Subscribed.
Thank you!🙏🏻
Love this! You did mostly with hand tools.
Brilliant build and video!
Thanks! I really appreciate it👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome! Glad I could help!
Great job and video 👍
I'm a really old guy woodworker and one trick I use to clamp boards together is place another board on top and it spreads the foce across the who joint instead of just under the clamp points.
That is a great idea👍🏻
Lovely job .😊
Thanks!
Very Good, Thanks...
Great job! Please do a video of your bench top. Looks very functional. Thanks
Hi Don, it’s based on design by popular woodworking called the “ultimate tool stand” here’s the link. Hope that helps explain it!
www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/aw-extra-51514-ultimate-tool-stand/
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya got me when ya stood on top of the workbench. LOLOL
Sometimes it requires a little more oomph!
WOW, your table saw techniques are DANGEROUS!
How dangerous? What's bad thing gonna happen?
Nice build ! I like Poplar so much i started making. Furniture out of it i really like how it stains and finishes
Thank you! I like finding the purple streak poplar wood.
Great video and vise!
Thanks! I’m still finding uses for it. It’s been a great shop addition. 👍🏻
@@Crowhollowwoodworks I am sketchuping a mini workbench (at the moment) and think will add a moxon vise on the long side with dogs.
Nice video and good information.
Thank you!
A brilliant video (though you voice volume was a little low), a great design and reasonable cost. I think your marriage of traditional hand tools and power tools looks perfectly balanced.
Thank you for the kind words!
Agreed on the low volume. And the general appraisal.
great video. you are very skilled and competent.
Thank you!
Loved your choices on this this vise.
I didn't know poplar was a hardwood nor that it was an option at the Depot. So that helped me.
Also loved your slotted workbench design for your clamps. Genius!
Would have been nice to have a Moxon vise while you were planing those jaw corners. LoL
I didn't like how your vise jaws lost their bearing surface near the end of the trim cut on your table saw. Might cut mine from the other side. So that was helpful too.
Thank you for the kind words!🙏🏻
Genial, lo mejor y barato que he visto. Saludos desde Chile
Awesome video for us non-elite financial class woodworkers. Much love.
Thank you very much!
Building this exact vise. I don’t have and can’t afford any oak or cherry tho. Using some hardwood plywood. Hope that doesn’t prove to be an issue down the road.
I just used poplar from Lowes, it’s reasonably priced and still pretty strong. I’m sure plywood will work also, it’s pretty dimensionally stable.
Crow Hollow Woodworks oh nice. Yea I’ve used poplar from Lowe’s for a few projects and I liked it as well.
Great
Muchas gracias!!!
Just came across this CHW. Thank you for uploading this video. It’s the first build that isn’t using a fully equipped workshop but instead uses hand tools that I actually own and use. Great!
Thank you!
very very very good
Thank you very much!
Muy bueno, excelente!!
Nice, what I like to see. Somebody making homemade tools and not using a million Dollars of fancy shop tools.
Looks great! Just to let everyone know, you can purchase Moxon Vise Kits from WDS Components Ltd. We supply them with handwheels or ball handles - the choice is all yours!
Send me out a free sample and I'll give free feedback 🤣
Good for UK folks. Shipping and the exchange rate would make it a no-go for me here in the states.
Nice work with the hand tools. Great design and clear tips. Also appreciate your list of materials. Did subscribe with thumbs up and am reviewing your web site to learn more from you. Thank you
Thank you!
What a great piece my friend! And seems like you can use hand tools too! Amazing work!
Thank very much! I try to incorporate hand tools as much as possible.
Thanks for great vid. I'm making a small "heavy duty" bench to go on top my shop bench to save me back! I'll have to watch vid a couple more times....just got to scale it down. Nice use of hand tools. Subbed !! :)
Awesome! Thank you very much and good luck with the bench!
👏🏼👏🏼
At 2:00 , If you put a little kosher salt on the glue, the wood will not slip when you clamp it together.
By the way you might want to try using the fence for the work piece instead, it will probably produce a better result. (2:19)
But nice work, simple and effective. :-)
great video thanks. one question, where did you get the 3/4 wing nuts? no one around here carries them. thanks.
Thank you! I picked them up from a local Fastenal.
Thanks for the informative video. Do you find you get enough clamping pressure by hand tightening the wing nuts or do you find the need to grab a wrench and tighten further?
I always just tighten by hand, I’ve never ran into a situation where I’ve needed to use a wrench to get more pressure.
Great video. Thanks. Do you see any problems with using 1/2" threaded rods, nuts, and washers instead of 3/4"?
I think you may run the risk of the rods bending as you open the vise up wider, or racking more under stress. If 1/2” is all that’s available to you I think it will work, you’ll just have to be careful.
best moxon I have seen here. I will be adding this one to my shop in the next few weeks. can you send me a shop sticker?
Thank you very much Mike! Unfortunately I don’t have any shop stickers at the moment, but I’ll try to get some this year.

Where do u get the taper for screwing the Pipe clamp on?? I have a set of Pipe clamps in my shop but I don't know how to get the OT screw put on it?? How is that done my bro?? I love the idea of the 1st one I watched u build for on top of the workbench. That's a great idea. I think I might try that one but the Pipe Clamps are brilliant for a Vise. I just don't know where I can find some pipe ready to screw the front part of the clamp onto?? Anybody with any advice for that I would be very grateful.. I don't have a Lathe now mind.. LOL
I like liked most of this video, especially your use of hand tools. But I have few suggestions/criticisms. Four clamps doesn’t seem sufficient to laminate two large boards, you leave many areas without clamping pressure. Running rough glued edge surfaces against a fence to trim the edge can cause kickback on the table saw unless that edge has been scraped smooth and flat. And if it is smooth and flat the it is better used to trim the opposite edge. Also, if you leave the outer vise face wider then you can make it lower so it can easily butt against the bench edge giving extra support to a long clamped board. Just my 2¢.
Thanks for the feedback!
I would hardly worry about the million clamps. It's hardly structural is it? And when clamped against something the chops anit going anywhere. It's in the maths bru
Nice instruction. Nice old handsaw but does it need sharpening? It appeared you took a lot of strokes to saw through the boards.
It was a little on the dull side.
A nice project, and an equally nice design. You explain what you're doing quite well (IMO), but as others have said - I had to turn the sound all the way up and still struggled to hear.
Thanks!
@@Crowhollowwoodworks One solution is to re-edit the sound by over-laying your voice track while using a microphone at your computer and just crank the volume up a bit.
You forgot to add the finish product you use to the material list. I have enjoyed the video and I'm planning to build it for myself. Can you update your material list? Thanks.
I'm making a simple Moxon, too, so checked out your video as an alternative to using pipe clamps like Jay Bates uses. (I noticed a mistake in your parts list... only 2 3/4" wing nuts are needed, not 4 as stated.)
Good catch, thank you!
If we all did things like this we wouldn’t need to buy those crap plastic clamps from China that always break. Great and simple idea mate. 🇦🇺
Thanks Nick!
Hi sir, just wondering how you decide when to use hand tools vs. Power tools? First time on the channel so I was surprised when the table saw came after the hand saw.
Sometimes it’s comfort level with the task at hand, sometimes it depends on the project. At the time I didn’t have the proper setup for thickness planing by hand or rip cutting by hand, but now I can do both without issue.
hummm !
some parts of the clip in the end showing the assembly of the vice to the table not missing. Little confused. ;
It attaches to the bench with clamps
This is great, I'll be making it myself. Are the quantities correct in the materials list? Seems to me that you only need two each of the washers, nuts, and wingnuts? Or am I just being dense?
Thank you! You are correct on the wingnuts, but you’ll need four washers (two for the wingnut side and two for the nut on the backside of the rear chop) and four nuts, two that get recessed on the front side of the rear chop and two that hold it all together on the backside of the rear chop. Tough to explain haha. Let me know if that doesn’t clear it up.
Understood! Thank you very much.
perhaps up the volume next video... but thanks for the video =o)
You got it 👍🏻I’m glad it was helpful.
What is this manual drill you use very nice. I see by time there are people are declining technology and all these luxuries.......
Thank you! It’s a brace.
I liked this design and copied it except for one major difference. I do not like those bolts sticking out the front for me to hit or catch on my cloths so I make it where the bolts stick out the back rather than the front. Simple anbd safer.
Just to clarify, did you use a 1” drill bit? I ask because that’s what I did and I have 3/4” rod and nuts but the bolts seem just barely wider than the 1” hole. I’m concerned I did something wrong as I don’t think there will be enough material to support the nut for me. Thanks!
It was approximately a 1” hole, the bit was a number 15 auger bit I believe that was a little bigger than the threaded rod, plus I rounded out the hole a little bit when drilling.
oustanding vid, next time please increase the volume :)
Love to see how you utilise the muscular-powered tools
Thank you!
pro carpenters always love to overkill everything, then me as a newbie always have excuses to it 😂
Did you sir glue the nut in place
I did not.
How did you attach to the work bench 🤔
I used clamps on that long piece on the back side.
Could I use mahogany for this type of vice ?
Done see why not.
Nice job, good camera work, a little hard to hear narration,perhaps music could be slightly lower volume.
EXCELENT , BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY HANDAS, OTHER WISE CONGRATULATION TO USE TOOLS TO CUT ABD DRILL, VERY GOOD.
Use the rest of the saw! It's so much faster.
Music too loud - voice too quiet, yes. But well done! Can’t stand watching guys put glue on every square mil then using all the clamps they have! Nice to see a video with common sense.
Thanks! It was my first video so there were kinks to work out with the sound.
Music was just right in all great job
Agreed
Why is the volume so low?
Can't hardly hear directions. Needs mic, good vid.
Turned my volume all the way up. Still can't hear you friend.
Odd, no trouble on my end and no other complaints of sound. Sorry about that.
Very quiet for me also
also me low sound
Barely audible.
5:03 -> what material?
Adhesive backed cork material used to line drawer bottoms. Regular cork sprayed with an adhesive would do the same thing.
@@Crowhollowwoodworks Thank you for the answer, but in my country it seems to use another name for the material. It looks like I will make without that layer, will it be slippery?
@@wongponjer You can use leather.
"chop"=Jaw?
That part is also sometimes referred to as the chop. But jaw works also.
Yikes no circular saw?
I’m sorry couldn’t hear a thing !
i have watched a few of you video's but can hardly hear you no matter what I do. find a way to turn up your volume and I will be interested in sibscribing
Mine works too. I used woodprix plans and made it without any problems.
Mli0mn J J ovu
I cannot hear you properly the sound quality is very poor 😔
My volume doesn't go high enough to make out what you're saying.
Very Good, Thanks...
