Early Access Video: The $30 Dollar Vise (Patreon)

Friends: 

I'm especially proud of this one. This vise can be built with handtools in about a day. It costs around $30 and it works really well. After a lot of searching and experimenting, I've finally come up with a vise design that I can stand behind. 

If you've built a few of the Woodwork for Humans projects, then you can do this. You'll need a few simple metal-working tools like a hacksaw and some drill bits, but the rest of the project is straight-forward sawing, boring, and planing. 

The final vise is based off the English pattern Face Vice, a long-standing design that probably led to the modern cast-iron vise. It's a simple and solid way of holding work and this version really gets the job done. 

Thanks for supporting this ambitious build!

Happy Saturday!
