$40 Moxon Vise - Easy to build in an afternoon!

A Moxon Vise is a great tool to have when you start to work with hand tools. It's essential for dovetails and other joinery methods that require you to work on the end of a board.

Easily clamp it on your workbench and store it away while not in use!

Best thing about this Moxon Vise, the hardware only costs $40!

I really love your channel and projects. You're a wonderful asset to the woodworking community.

[gerarddelmonte]

I have to say, you must have been a science teacher in a former lifetime. Very concise explanation of the whole sequence of fabrication. Kudos, and thanks. My only minor observation is that it would be useful to first show the completed vise, then show how it's built. That way it is easier to follow the sequence conceptually if you know what the end result should look like.

This is how DIY videos should be made. You did an outstanding job with this! Clear, concise and no stupid yelling/hyper active/BS blabbering.

You always cheer me up Tamar, I know you are a busy mom, yet you still have energy and time to make genuinely useful woodworking vlogs 👏 well done

[liquidmettle]

Thank you Tamar for this great video! Found the hardware kit for just over 40, a few great boards in Menards value section, and reproduced this vise. It's already helped me make a precision rout in a curved infinity mirror frame I could not have done otherwise. Appreciate your channel!

[jeremydecker]

Love the out takes, lol. Thank you for such great content. Just getting started and I'm trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. Today or tomorrow I will start making some dust and thanks to you, I will be able to do so more confidently and soon after, with a Moxon Vise :)

Tamar you have amazed for longer than I can remember, your hard work and brilliance shines through on everything you do.

[alchavez]

I just ordered my hardware can't wait to get started I love the way you explain everything in detail

[rickmccoy]

Thanks, Tamar. This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I found it extremely clear and helpful. Personally, I prefer videos like yours with vocal descriptions of the process rather than just the high speed visuals. I've decided to save some money (at the obvious expense of time) and make my own handles by inserting nuts into hardwood, which allows me to buy the threaded rod, washers and nuts for under $25. I'll certainly be watching some more of your videos.

[KeithBurtis]

First time commenting. I just want to say that I love how approachable your woodworking is. You actually do work in your shop... its not all work on your shop. While you use a nice diversity of tools its cool to see you use things like a tapering jig to joint the edge. Anyway, thanks for a great channel!

[bobmcarthur]

Thank you for good, informative content. Plus your well scripted delivery is spot on, no rambling ever. Great job!

Great video! I wanted to build a moxon vise for a while. Last summer I was at a local flea market and found gigantic bolts with 1-1/4" shanks. I laminated 3/4" poplar for the jaws and used a piece of curly oak for the front handles. The jaws are lined with cork shelf liner which is very grippy. Your idea of the oval holes will be added to my vise, it makes sense that I would have angled work from time to time. Thanks for the video and the other ideas.

Thanks, Tamar for this very useful and well done tutorial. I recently completed a Roubo bench and was very pleased with Benchcrafted's hardware, plans, and support. I was considering using their Moxon vice hardware and plans, but had pretty much blown my budget on the prior project, so was searching for less expensive alternatives. Your tutorial along with the hardware and plans you recommended were the ticket. The hardware kit saved me $100, is very rugged, and well suited for a sturdy, functional, and attractive vise. I used 8/4 ash and some crubber left over from the Roubo build and jazzed it up a bit by sculpting lambs' tongues to the ends of the 45º slope on the front jaw. Thanks for the inspiration and guidance.

I love your channel! Your shop and projects are close enough in reach of where I am in my project-i-ness (yes, that is (now) a word...), and making things that are helpful to me. Please keep doing what you do. You work in a rare sweet spot between the “kitchen table” and seemingly “fully endorsed” Makers out there.

[clickster]

It’s very satisfying to see that nut fit so perfectly in the hole you drilled and chiseled for it. Also love seeing the wood grain come alive when the Danish oil is spread on it. I’d never heard of a Moxon vise before. I will keep this episode in mind for when I begin to build things large enough to use one! Thanks for continuing to share your projects with us.

[bogus_not_me]

You continue to amaze me with your skills. I've watched almost every video you've posted. I'm working to get back into my shop after back surgery, then I've got a lot of things to make!

[jbb]

Thanks for passing this information along! I could use one like this, going to look into ordering the kit. Nice chisel work in setting the nuts!

[suearmstrong]

Really excellent video and I am in awe of your chisel skills. You made the nut opening exact and made it look effortless. AWESOME! Definitely worth making making the vise.

[dabeamer]

Making one of these things has been on my to-do list since I first watched this video 3 or 4 years ago. I finally got around to buying the metal parts, and I'm nearly done with the wood working. It has been very handy to be able to come back to the vid time after time so I can refresh my memory. I find your explanations clearer than the instructions that come with the hardware.

Thanks!
