Making A Jewelers Hand Vise - Milling And Lathe Work

G'day everyone,

In this video I will also try and turn by lathe into a makeshift disk sander, to sand the parts down to final size. I hope you enjoy the video.

This is a long one that I've been working on for quite some time. Hope you all enjoy it. Cheers

Turn the cone out of a piece of hex stock and leave a section of hex under the cone. This will let you clamp the hand vise in another vise in one of six positions.

This dudes voice and style of explaining things is the best part of the videos, so soothing lol. 3k views and 300 likes is way too low and rude of viewers not to like after watching. IMO. 👍👍👍👍👍

One trick I've learned when trying to turn down a bolt or screw is to wrap the threads with copper wire and it will help keep the threads clean.

Hand sawn piece of stainless... respect!

Nice video!
An easy Tipp for you, when you are pening the brass pins (or whatever pins you might be using in the future) drill you hole and then drill a little countersink on both sides so when you are mushrooming it over the material will spread and it will be a lot safer in there.

Keep going with your projects. Always a pleasure to watch!

One of my favorite channels. Following in a lot of the same steps learning machining with my lathe as well.

A polite suggestion - for coating wood, try Pale Boiled Linseed Oil - dries fast and provides a superior comfort and grip and protective qualities to wood. Not expensive either :)

Only one brass pin in every jaw will allow a parallel and more stable grip at any width.. good work !

[RustyInventions-wzir]

Very nice work. That looks like a great tool

Cool idea with the superglue (16:08).

Handy tip for turning resilient materials... Try tossing it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Be careful with the mount as metal will expand as it warms up, but latex based compounds generally expand as you cool them down.

Making the lathe sander is a great idea. I might try that myself.

[nalinux]

I love the idea of the disk sander on the lathe !
I will do the same.
Nice vise.

[YooProjects]

Super professional job bro. I like to the vise working.. 👍👍

One thing you can do with jewellers vices is have a hole that runs all the way through the tool and is open at the bottom of the handle. Having a hole run through the center opens up more options for use.

A nice forever shop tool that will be loved and used for a long time

Nicely done. Good job. I like that you are always makes tools that you need.

You are artist. All thing what you did is perfect. Thank you for sharing with us.👍👍

You can turn almost anything into a suitable scraper for woodturning, old files, etc. A small or medium sized round nose scraper will see you through most basic wood turning projects without much time to learn how to get good results.
Just be careful about too much stick out and engagement if you are using something brittle.
