Thanks you are the man
All good tips Colin! Thank you.
Love your videos!
Thanks for sharing all your experiences with us..I have learned a lot from them👍👍
You look like Mark Hamill’s Canadian Brother!!
I appreciate your vedeos bud
I signed up, I wait from you …
I think you can learn more about this on Woodglut.
Nice vice hacks!
Bit of a wobbly bench there Colin
Really like the tip for the vises! Thanks Colin for sharing!!
I really like Colin’s hints. They are so simple but so useful. I’ve seen old carpenters working with these kind of simple tricks for lifetimes.
Fantastic! Great tips I can use! I’ve watched your videos and have learned alot and gained a lot of information for use in my shop. I’m sure I convey the wishes of many in hoping you continue to share your knowledge.
Thank you SO much for this video, the tip about the hinged flip out support is genius, I’ve been using a solid block of wood that I have to keep taking on and off when I need the extra support… I’m definitely going to be using you idea, simple but super effective ♥️😲😁👍
Thank you for the tips, very helpful.
Get some lead or thick soft aluminium and make a set of jaw covers for the metal vice. These will protect both wood and metal surfaces from scoring by the very hard vice jaw Inserts. Or just make a set of vice jaws from aluminium blocks. Aluminium can be cut by wood working saws if you use a little paraffin or candle wax as a lubricant to keep the aluminum chips from sticking to the blades.
Really informative. Thank you.
The metal vice modular piece is brilliant. Only have to have it up there when you need it.
Always learning something from your videos. Well done. Thank you.
You must have Dutch ancestors…. 😉
Vice in a vice!
I noticed that the metalworking vise wobbles a bit. It it is just TOO heavy for the face vise. I would suggest that the mounting should be an L shape and have the weight of the vise resting directly on the workbench. You could also have 1 or 2 strategically placed dogs on the bracket to further lock the vise into location.
Good video mate to the point liked the pull out flap, great addition to a bench
I really want to learn how to cut perfect 45° corners with a skillsaw from birch plywood to assemble a box.
Any ideas how to do it without a table saw
Ummmm….why didn’t you put the hinged swing out support at the same height as the vise’s internal (rail) support? You have it set so the piece runs downhill.
Those are some really good tips…keep’em coming thanks.
I’ve seen a couple/three of your videos and I Like what I’ve seen, so I Sub’ed today.
Thanks for you Great Idea’s you have shown us👍🏼
I often wonder if there is someone hiding behind u that tickles you to make u giggle so much…? Well I would like to have one too.
Your mini miter box saw jig could use anti skid material on the bottom of the inside to help those dowels and such not slide around so easily.
شكرا جزيلا 👍 نشكرك على مشاركة جميع تجاربك معنا .. لقد تعلمت الكثير منهم
Great ideas thx 4 Sharing
That metal working vice is nowhere near solid lol, and a lot of weight to put on the clamp. When i’ve seen this done in the past people often use an L shaped piece that sits on the bench and the lower part of the L gets clamped in the vice – would make more sense
Thanks Colin!
In carpentry you are surely knowledgeable but most of all you are a sympathetic and fun teacher to enrich knowledge with your help.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Colin. Very clever!
This channel is gold
5:06 Vise-ception!
Some very useful ideas. Thanks again
Wooden self levelling vice inserts for metal vice, never thought of that. Usually I struggle with bits of offcuts which can be fiddly. Great ideas I’m still learning these common sense tips from you at 73 yrs old.
Love your videos! Keep them coming.
This feels like it warrants the Xzibit meme…. Yo Dawg, I heard you like to VICE.. so we put a VICE in your VICE, so you can VICE while you VICE!!!
That flip-out helper may make it’s way to my tinker table. Thanks!
You have such a great presentation skill Colin. I’ve watched hundreds of videos on various woodworking topics, and yours stand out. Such great, simple and direct advice – and your personality makes the videos very watchable. Keep up the great work and the great tips!
Also, I fully expected you to add a third vice on top of your machinists vice. Vices, all the way up.
Just a thought, but it looks to me like the machinist’s vise would be more stable if it was mounted on a board that sat on the workbench top with a tang clamped in the woodworking vise.
Nice work! This video came up, my phone malfunctioned, had to restart phone, Youtube was no longer suggesting the video, and it wasn’t in my history. However, because you had stated your name in the first 10 seconds of watching, I was able to find this video!
Great video, I’ve subscribed, will you subscribe back?

Thanks so much, Colin. As always great information and handy tips, and well-explained. I really appreciate the help you give – so sensible and makes the workshop even more fun. Cheers.
Now that’s clever
Try waxing the surface of the assembly gig. Most glues than can be scraped off with a putty knife or equivilant. This wil prevent glue bumps from interfering with alignments.
Thank you for the great tips.
