The fixed jaw that you offset was in the wrong direction for gaining clearance, the offset you added actually reduced the amount of jaw opening capacity. That could be close to your 1/4" that you lost. Need to move the lower jaw down to have the clamping face as flush to the end of the tube as you can be while the floating jaw is at its max extent.

As a blacksmith of over 50 years when you said filing vise, I instantly thought of the one I have that is decades old. It is just like the photos you showed. It is very useful and you are not as limited as you may think. When used in a bench vise it provides a lot of clamping force which more than makes up for a slight out of parallel jaw alignment. I taught blacksmithing for about 30 years and have had Mark Aspery demonstrate at my annual smithing event. He is a great guy.

the vise he wanted is the gramercy tools saw vise for an off the shelf part. he was making a duckbill vise which you can still find second hand, but it looks like gramercy tools is the only company making that style of vise. a saw makers vise is a little different than a duckbill though. you can still get duckbill clamps from Irwin (i have a pair) but those are just hand pliers. the big table duckbills you have to find second hand online. he could also get a huge King Dick style wrench made by Hand Tool Rescue, but its not as wide as a duckbill and doesn't clamp as hard

Jaws that aren't parallel should be fine for flat sheet (which is mostly the point). One jaw provides the flat plate and the other jaw the clamping force. They don't even need to meet at the edge so the top jaw could be set back slightly to keep it out of the way.

You had me going for a second there. I was worried this was going to be a serious machining video. This is a serious roughing video.

Nice! I'm a blacksmith, and ran into a similar issue... I could not find a filing vise anywhere to buy for love nor money. I resigned myself to making my own, and I was going to make the traditional style you showed examples of. (the first uncredited image is Blackbear Forge, by the by. Check out his channel if you've any interest at all, he's a fantastic educational demonstrator who is a joy to watch, much as yourself.) But, as you say, they are designed for a very narrow range of sizes, and you need to have a few of them to grip more than a few gauges of steel. I really like the version you have created! And I think it's something I can manage to replicate with my anvil-smacker tooling... though I do have a lathe and a shaper, I'm not particularly well versed in them yet :P I suspect your design wouldn't have quite the gripping potential, as it relies on a smaller screw, while the traditional ones rely on the extremely large screw of a leg vise. Realistically though, there's probably not much functional difference there.

I used to sharpen knives, machetes, axes, lawnmower blades, ect. as I was working professionally as a handyman. You'd never know what a client would need. I built an angled holder that attached to the end of my low workbench, and hung off the edge by 10 to 12 inches. It had a couple sets of threaded holes along its length. I would use bolts with fender washers to hold down the object being sharpened with the edge to be sharpened hanging over the edge of the attachment on the long side, short side, or both. The angle to the surface would put the cutting edge flat and the bench height put the filing just above my hips. Made for a perfect edge and ergonomic work station. I could sharpen a 20" machete from nearly flat to a double bevel, razor sharp edge in about 5 minutes. I used a combination of draw filing, push filing, and a couple diamond abrasive impregnated metal pads.

Yep. I use one of those to sharpen my hand saws, axes, knives, mower blades, etc. Wonderful, simple design too.

You are one of the few KZread creators who I watch at 1x speed (rather than saving time by watching at 1.5x or 2x) because . . . . timing is everything.

Tot .. the only channel I immediately stop what I'm doing to watch. Great as always

Good to see another video! I've been trying to add saw marks using my wood lathe myself so this came out at the opportune time!

Your restocking skills are quite literally the best I've ever seen 🧐

You bumped up the bottom jaw a 1/4" UP which made the jaw smaller, that is where you're 1/4" clearance went. If it was flush it would have a larger opening, or am I missing something?

I had the same thought, bumping it up a quarter inch lost him a quarter inch

I think he was already even shorter than that. ie the screw wouldn’t bite at all, so to have a functioning vice he gave up another 1/4” by bringing that plate out

You and Gergenhimer are correct. Leaving the jaw flush with the bottom pipe would've given him more clearance. The placement of the bottom jaw has no bearing on where the threads engage.

I believe it was also the angle, two parallel lines an inch apart perpendicular to the base will get closer together as you lay them over staying parallel, yet leaving their pivot points on the initial perpendicular line. Although they're not at a 45 degree angle, at 45 they're now .707" apart.

The screw ran out of threads I believe, if the lower jaw had been flush with the pipe, the upper wouldn't have had enough travel to meet it.

Fun project and I like the idea!

Great video! 👍 keep 'em coming!

Now that's a craftsman! removing the metal in the EXACT same way and pattern as he added it on-that requires some serious skills right there! good boy,tony!

Frankly that's awesome. From the last video I broke a bone, recovered, moved into a new country and learned the language... I'm so happy you are back!!!

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR DEDICATION, WORK AND EFFORT

Just love your style of video so much!!!

Oooh, Never thought to run my lathe in reverse with a de-roughing tool. Your genius never fails to amaze me. Have you ever though about using un-filler rod with your TIG welder though? I've had great results when I notice that I attached a table leg to my vise for instance and need to take it back off. Much quicker than getting out the grinder.

I think you meant "TIG separator".

Yeah, TIG wick, it's like solder wick or "desoldering braid".

You mean air arc cutting/gouging?

As a knife making hobbyist this vice idea is amazing. I've been hand filing knives in a regular bench vice for a while now and that's been a nightmare. You have inspired me to try making a vice like this too.

Looked up fixed angle sharpening systems. There are some very cheap and effective solutions

I use a wicked edge sharpening system for my knives, but wanted something a little stronger and usable with a file when I felt like hand filing a bevel. So I took their blade clamp design and made a wider one out of steel, essentially just two wedge shapes for high angle clearance that use bolts to clamp together. I welded one of the steel wedges to a 2.5" blank trailer hitch so I can mount it in my vise, and since the other wedge uses screws to clamp against the other that was the extent of my mount. Very simple and tough, will accommodate anything from an axe head to a kitchen knife depending on the length of bolt you use. The slop in the receiver fit is taken up with two grub screws threaded directly into the receiver, and a retainer pin is no longer necessary to hold it in place. I later added a plate on the other end with various cuts in it that correspond to bevel angles, and to utilize those angles I tap a file tang into a brass tube to rest against the angle guide while filing. That basically turned it into a glorified Lansky sharpener that I can use with any file I own, and a wood blank to hold sandpaper can be used to work out problem areas before hand sanding. It's not something I use often, as I have a 2x72 grinder with bevel jigs and all sorts of other attachments, but being able to do it all by hand with more control is a nice option to have.

You’re a legend in my book Mr. this old Tony I look forward to your videos. You’re awesome 😎

Anyone watching this who isn't a machinist, won't get half the jokes. I love it! I love filing, too. It's one of those things... 🥰 Tells you a lot about the material.

It was such a pleasure to see a ToT video in my subscriptions today! Hope you can continue to do whatever it is that brings you joy. Wishing all the best for you and your family.

Great to see you back cool vice idea

So happy to see you had time to share your safe space with us again! The wheels on my personal hobby machine shop are really getting rolling. Finally got a lathe (considering making it my first recorded project to share with the world as i have a bit of maintenance to do to get it up and running). I've been gearing up with different tooling, making several of the tools from your videos. I am halfway done recreating your 4th axis cnc spindle motor, my intentions are using it as an indexer mainly for any size gear, sprocket, round precise located feature type tool. I have been watching your fly cutter and boring head build videos on repeat to get the process and design imbedded in my head to make those. Which, in your fly cutter build you mentioned "gearing up for a surface gauge build". A surface gauge is on my list of tooling to make, and i think me and the other million live audiance from your garage bench seats would love to see this video from your perspective! Glad to see you back

Glad to see you back!!! Always enjoy your videos. A great craftsman and better teacher.

Those blacksmith vices are great super handy. Provided the jaws are long enough you can get away with a pretty good clamping range. We anvil smackers seem to run into similar problems as you.
