Where did you find the set of plans? That looks like a fun project.

Hey Ron

From Nigel Walton. He has the channel on Youtube, and is providing prints Hes asking for small donation. The prints are good, and are metric. But thats easy enough. I made 3 parts last night and im programming the vise body at the moment. Send him an email.

He and I had a nice email wag and he seems to be a really nice man. The design is quite sound, and im enjoying just making parts to print.

Interestingly....I got a second order of metal for this vise...it just appeared!.....I'll sort it out with the supplier, but I'm considering making two of these....

Pesky 2D adaptive tool path.....LOL it'll come out with a touch of paper....gonna get painted anyway

steamer · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2021, 11:31:38 PM »

Setting up to machine the vise face contours, and then off to the lathe to bore to match the bushing. Hope Samantha Bell's 4 jaw is big enough...or I'll have to blow the cobwebs off the big Logan!..

Dave

What type is steel are you using?

Dave

steamer · « **Reply #18 on:** March 24, 2021, 08:26:47 PM »

1117 for the body and 1144sp on everything else. All other parts are bearing bronze. It will have hard jaws (A2 tool steel), and a hardened anvil on the back (also A2). Jaw width is 50mm.

The vises are looking great!

steamer · « **Reply #21 on:** March 29, 2021, 03:05:22 AM »

They're getting there.....most of the heavy work is done. I still need to make the base swivels....but it's progressing pretty quickly.

I still need to make the anvils and jaws....one smooth hard jaw set and a copper jaw set...x2 of course

Don1966 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 29, 2021, 03:11:34 AM »

Great progress buddy they looking good....

This has been a very fun project, and I'm rounding a corner on it ....won't be long now.....before the dreaded engraving of the name.....
Dave

crueby · « **Reply #24 on:** March 31, 2021, 10:40:47 PM »

Very nicely done! Have you decided if the outside will be painted?

steamer · « **Reply #25 on:** March 31, 2021, 10:44:01 PM »

Crueby

I briefly toyed with the idea of engine turning the outside of the vise.....but I think i finally talked myself out of it...thankfully

Painted ....black, with white letters I think......opinions will vary....

Dave

That's going to be one classy little vise!
When you said "Engraving the name" I wondered if you meant 'Baby Wilton' or the name of the builder

Now I know. And it's going to look great!

Got a little more tonight. Im enjoying the programming!

All but one lathe part, the rest is milling....including the engraving/carving of the names

Kim · « **Reply #37 on:** April 05, 2021, 05:26:21 AM »

Looking good, Dave!
Will the engraving be done CNC? Or some other method?
Kim

steamer · « **Reply #38 on:** April 05, 2021, 02:03:00 PM »

CNC. I want the name to look as if it was cast...so its in relief..lots of whittling.....will probably take it down in 3 steps with 3 tools ...so I dont wear out a tool before im done.

steamer · « **Reply #39 on:** April 08, 2021, 02:01:51 AM »

Simple job tonight...make two thrust washer assemblies.....CNC is so much fun.....
I'll have more time tomorrow.....gotta get this vise done!!!

Dave

steamer · « **Reply #40 on:** April 19, 2021, 01:36:33 AM »

Made the pivot keys tonight. They need to be carburized and hardened and then stoned to a tight fit. They simultaneously provide the base pivot and key the vise moving jaw. They are both a bit too tight at the moment, but they'll free up once I stone and polish them

steamer · « **Reply #41 on:** May 02, 2021, 02:30:04 AM »

Got past that pucker moment....last pass was with a .03125 end mill at 10,000 rpm ....

Looks amazing + a great name (those who look at it without knowing that it's your name, will think 'known' Brand).

Are you doing anything to the surface (paint / Nickel Plating etc.) ?

Iam going to paint mine bla k with white letters. Im making 2 and that one will be finished by the new owner.

And shy some appropriate hardware to bolt it to the bench. Its done. Outstandingly smooth and rigid and gentle on small parts

Hey a follow up....

I've been using this vise now for just about 3 years. It's a nice little vise for small work. One problem though

It bolts to the front of the bench which means its always in the way and it takes up valuable space when it's not needed.

Then another youtube superhero of mine Steffan Pahlow. He mounted his to a fairly large lump of brass round stock......genius!

at 5 pounds, this vise is not going anywhere for normal uses.

I ordered up a 4" round off the bay and drew up my version of this and built it today. It works great and I can just park the vise at the back of the bench when not in use.

Kim · « **Reply #55 on:** December 31, 2023, 05:44:26 AM »

Very neat idea! And that chunk of brass only adds to the beauty of that little vise!

Kim

Don1966 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 31, 2023, 05:18:40 PM »

Awesome Dave guess I need to do the same to mine…
