How to Make a Wooden 6 instructables How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise by Yonatan24 I have a great little vise. I use it a ton (pun not hardware. intended)! The only problem with it is that it's tiny-- It opens to a little more than 1.5" Did you know that if this Instructable gets 150,000 views, and 5% of the people that would see it would I wanted to buy a bigger vise (for my birthday), but the build the vise, it would mean that this Instructable prices are INSANE! saved ~MILLION DOLLARS!!! Share, Share, Share! As a "maker", I don't think it makes sense to pay $100 to $500+ on a vise, when it's basically a big chunk of metal and a bolt. I know that I'm not the only one that thinks that. *Pssst!

The vise is WAY stronger than what I thought Step 2: What You'll Need: Hardware & Materials: European Beech Wood (The dimensions are written later in the Instructable) 3/8"X29cm Threaded Rod (I bought it at a hardware store for less than $5) 2 Pieces of 290X8mm Metal Rod 2 Washers 16mm Hardwood Dowel 2mm Metal Rod Plywood How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 2 2 Screws Paper Towels Chemicals & Adhesives: Spray Lubricant Wood Glue Varnish Alcohol Pad Tools (+Attachments): Abrasive Dremel Cutting Bit Homemade Hot-Glue Mallet Vise (the small one) Drill-Bits: 1, 2, 8, 9, 10 , 19mm Spade Bit , 27mm Holesaw Hammer Clamps Sandpaper: 200 Grit Steel Wool Paintbrush 7mm Chisel Caliper Tape Measurer Speed Square Screwdriver Electric/Power Tools: Drill Drill-Press 6-in-1 Woodworking Machine (It contains the Mini Bench-Grinder) Dremel Circular-Saw How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Recommended Safety Equipment: Earmuffs, Respirator, Safety Goggles Cost (for me): <$5 Difficulty: Fairly Hard Approximate Time: 5 Hours (It took me more10 because I didn't have written Instructions...) Step 3: Cut Wood to Size (& Glue for Making the Final Size) Since this is made from reclaimed wood, I thought clamped them together while they dried. For the there would be no point in making two different steps, actual build, I had to split this steps into several parts, for cutting, and then gluing, to the final size. For because I didn't have enough clamps. example, if this was made from a 2X4, the base wouldn't have been made from two different parts. Here are the dimensions in centimeters: Makes sense? :) 3.5 X 4.5 X 7cm of European Beech Wood I started by measuring and marking cutting all of the European Beech Wood parts with my Drill-Powered 2 Pieces of 5 X 9 X 7cm of European Beech Wood Circular Saw. 32.5 X 9 X 2.5 of European Beech Wood After that, I glued them together with wood glue, and How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 4 Step 4: Drill Holes for the Front & Back Jaws I aligned and clamped both of the 5 X 9 X 7cm pieces one on top of another. Make sure they are totally aligned before you drill, this is REALLY important! I drilled a 10mm hole in over the middle part of the first block, and then drilled two 8mm holes for the metal rods. After I drilled them, I used my Drill-Press, again, to slightly widen the holes so the rods could slide better. How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 5 Step 5: Chisel Holes for the Hex-nut The nut is going to fit inside the back jaw, like my first homemade vise, I decided to chisel out the holes. This works really well! I first traced the outline of the nut over the hole, after that, I used a sharp chisel to chisel out the hole, and then hammered it in. Unlike my first vise, I used one hex-nut, and made it a tighter fit, instead of using Epoxy. 1 1. Want to know know to make your chisels this sharp? I have an Instructable on that... :) How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 6 Step 6: Glue the Rods I mixed up some 2 part Epoxy, and glue the rods inside of the holes that were previously drilled in the first jaw. Since this a tight fit, make sure that you apply a lot of Epoxy. How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 7 Step 7: Glue the Front Jaw Glue the front jaw to the base with some wood glue. If you want to turn this into a Bar-Clamp, you won't need to do this ;) I clamped the joint until the glue dried. Step 8: Make the Handle I started by drilling a 9mm hole in the tip of the 3.5 X 19mm hole through the piece of wood for the handle. 4.5 X 7cm piece, and when I made sure that the rod fit snuggly inside, I drilled a 2mm hole through the To finish it off, I drilled a 27mm hole in some hard wood and the rod. This will help strengthen the bond. plywood, drilled two small holes in each end of the handle, and screwed them in. After that, I quickly mixed up some new Epoxy (stronger), and pushed the rod inside. Don't forget to I let everything cure for a few hours inside the holes add the 2mm strengthening rod! of my second Homemade wooden vise ;) After after about an hour, I came back, and drilled a How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 8 How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 9 How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 10 Step 9: Sand Everything Since this is reclaimed wood, a small part was actually sanded and finished, the most, however, was not. I started by sanding the wood with steel wool, and then finished it with 200 grit sandpaper. Step 10: Cut & Grind Off the Rods The rods were a bit longer than I wanted, so I cut part of them off. I'll use the leftover piece for a future vise. I also used my mini Bench Grinder to remove some of the sharp edges. Handheld this time! How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 11 Step 11: Varnish I applied a coat of varnish. 2 Hours later, I came back. I sanded the whole vise again, and applied another coat of varnish. I hope this will make it waterproof. How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 12 Step 12: Grease the Rods Greasing the rods- I've said it a lot, and I'll say it again. This lowered the amount of friction probably to a fifth. I suppose I'll have to do this again every once in awhile... How to Make a Wooden 6" Bench-Vise: Page 13 Step 13: Use It! Congrats!

These mini edge clamps grip the side of a workpiece to keep the top clear for machining. Patented design features a slotted countersink to provide strong, reliable clamping force with the easy turn of a hex wrench. These compact clamps are ideal for fixturing multiple parts, small or large. Each clamp has both a serrated face (for maximum gripping) and a smooth face (to avoid marring finished parts). These clamps look so simple, but work amazingly well, with major advantages over earlier designs. Flat Jaw Patent number 5.624.106. Made in USA. (Reversible, Serrated or Smooth) Clamping force is applied by positive screw action with the easy turn of a hex wrench (not with an unreliable, unsafe eccentric cam as Clamping force is applied by positive screw action with used in other designs). A high-strength Flat- the easy turn of a hex wrench. Head Socket Screw engages a mating offset countersink to exert strong clamping force. Much more durable than other designs. Only Tiny Vise Edge Clamps truly exert down thrust force on the workpiece, to prevent it from lifting.

  • Split-Top Roubo Bench Plans
    SPLIT-TOP ROUBO BENCH PLANS Design, Construction Notes and Techniques Copyright Benchcrafted 2009-2014 · No unauthorized reproduction or distribution. You may print copies for your own personal use only. 1 Roubo’s German Cabinetmaker’s Bench from “L’Art Du Menuisier” ~ Design ~ The Benchcrafted Split-Top Roubo Bench is largely based on the workbenches documented by French author André Roubo in his 18th-century monumental work “L’Art Du Menuisier” (“The Art of the Joiner”). The Split-Top bench design primarily grew out of Roubo’s German cabinetmaker’s bench documented in volume three of Roubo’s series. Author and bench historian Christopher Schwarz, who has re-popularized several classic bench designs of late, and most notably the Roubo, was also an influence through his research and writings. We built a version of Roubo’s German bench and it served as a platform from which the Split-Top Roubo was conceived. We were attracted to the massive nature of Roubo’s German design and were interested to see how the sliding leg vise in particular functioned in day-to-day use. From the start we opted to do away with the traditional sliding-block tail vise, with its pen- chant for sagging and subsequent frustration. In the process of the bench’s development the Benchcrafted Tail Vise emerged and it has proven to be an excellent workholding solution, solving all of the problems of traditional tail vises without sacrificing much in terms of function, i.e., the ability to clamp between open-front jaws. For all the aggrava- 2 tion that the Benchcrafted Tail Vise eliminates, that feature isn’t missed all that much.

  • Swanson Speed Square Manual Español
    Swanson speed square manual español Continue Specification Asset Sizes (v.)-7.25 x 7 x .875Packed with 44-page Swanson® Blue Book In this tutorial, we're going to take a quick look at the speed of the area, a tool that you may already have but can't fully understand. While made to frame carpentry, square speed can be indispensable in many measurement and marking situations. Let's see. What is Speed Square? A speed square (aka a sling square or triangle square) is a measurement of a multi-tool. Made of steel, aluminum or plastic, this common carpenter tool combines a ruler, try square, protractor, line-cutting tool, overall width of board break manual, and saw guide for making exact 90 and 45 incisions with a hand or circular saw. The speed of the square basic uses as a try square, for a quick measurement of the line perpendicular to the edge of the board (hence the square in the title), as miter area, for accurate marking of 45 angles, and as a protractor, for easy to find and marking various common angles, especially roof rafters and angles for ladder stringers (vertical fulities on stairs). The high- speed area was invented in 1925 by Albert Swanson. Swanson was a carpenter in a small town outside Chicago. He wanted to create a device to make it easier to quickly identify the resin on the roof. After he created the speed area, other carpenters started asking him for one, and Swanson Instrument Company was born. Speed Square is actually a trading name, but like Kleenex, it is often used as a generic name for this class instrument.
