My Father was a Patternmaker before the World War II, and I now see how much better this Vise is to the conventional Wood Vise AND one of these days I’ll have one .
The perfect way to build whatever you want like a woodworking pro is to take advantage of woodwork professional, with out try and fail like them before!
Great video! I will build out the face of my bench with room for rotation clearance so i can get that flush supported board.thank you for the upload!
I could watch videos of this type of craftsmanship all day.
@_@!!! COOL~
I am 55 and have my great grandfather’s pattern maker’s vice in the original bench he built almost 100 years ago. I am here to say you installed that vice wrong. You can notch out the table top to allow that back plate, of the vice, to be even with the working edge of your shop bench. I know it cause I have one. It doesn’t interfere with any of the functions of the vice either.
First uninstall that vise. Take it and lay it upside down on the table with the back plate parallel and flush to the edge of the bench then trace the vice with a heavy pencil line. Cut out removing the pencil line. This allows for enough gap to spin the vice in any orientation you need.
Or even easier just build out the edge of your bench to be flush with your improperly installed vice. Also cut additional dog holes in the bench top in line with the ones on the vice. You will thank me later…
I want one and I’m not even a woodworker =)
It is hard to tell from the video angles – but why can’t you just inset the vise farther back? Could you not just inset the whole thing flush with the front by insetting it farther back?
That is a fun looking vice, but I have to agree with you – without being flush to the side of the table, I can’t see myself using it.
Does someone know how this device is called in German?
Can you buy it somewhere in Europe?
Thanks.
Excellent review !!!
Some things just cannot be improved upon can they? !40 year old design ,fantastic.
That vice is amazing !!
Thanks for the great video. Very informational, well made, and no goofing off. Nice job.
Excellent review and much needed as time goes by for those who don’t know much about this vice or just became aware of it. Thank you!!!!
Rather late in my working life , but I deserve this vice , and will get one ! It’s brilliant 👌!!
I see this particular one is not available at the moment. I see one on Amazon and I see another by a different company. Are these like some china tools, different name, same tool made by same Chinese company?
Świetne – genialne – chciałbym takie mieć w swoim warsztacie ale u nas są niedostępne
What was the make / model of the vise you demoed? What the cost?
What is that particular brand and model? I soooo want one!
Like the old ones, but newer 😉 Need it.
very cool keep it in mind. i use vices to straighten boards and warped plywood.
But I’m not a pattern maker! I’m a professional sawdust maker and board-shortener.
The bench dogs have two ends . Round And rectangular. He never showed that.
i wonder how many times u would walk into it, catching ur hip on a flush vise is bad enough
Will it lock in all positions?
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about woodworking project design try Jadonite Wood Blueprints Buddy (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.
Impressive. Thanks for showing, I never knew of this type of vise. I haven’t built my bench yet, but when I do I will have to consider this
i ended up with a pair of these from an auction at a Plymouth naval training centre. Something i would never buy because i dont like the idea of metal on wood – dont like the idea of saws accidentally cutting into the metal jaws – chisels being nicked – boy was i wrong. The ones i got were made by wadkin. They are simply superb so i did some historical research. It was invented by a guy called Emmert and patented in 1891. A good quality Emmert can fetch as mush as 1000 dollars. Awesome machine
