HOW TO MAKE A MOXON VISE - The ultimate beginner's guide!

In this video, I will take you through the steps I used to create my moxon vise. This is a great beginner project that uses basic woodworking concepts. I used wood that I had in my shop and you can use what you have lying around. This includes dimensional pine lumber (2"x6", 2"x8", etc) that you can get from the big box stores. I decided to make a table attached to mine, but that is optional. For the size, you can make it any size you want to fit your needs. Basically you need the width between the screws to be as wide as any project you intend to make. For the jaw thickness, I made the rear jaw just under 2" and the front jaw just under 1.5". The wider the distance bewteen the screws, the thicker the jaws need to be is the rule of thumb.
I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you'd like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!

    Thoroughly enjoyed this build. Great job mate. One big benefit of vises mounted this way, is the elevation. I have back issues so the higher my workpiece is, the better!

    Great video, you really showed all the stages, I loved the editing. And you showed your minor mistake, which we all do, I really liked you using the headboard too, it actually makes the piece look really unique. Ive watched alot of moxon videos, this is one of the best. You got a sub, good luck with the channel

    Hello Mr Ed Parker. I think this is really neat! I’ve often needed a “third hand” when I was tinkering around with some woodworking stuff…most of the time I’d ask my son or daughter to help hold the piece in place…. I think I’d like to give this vice you made a try. Thank you! Also, I noticed that you put a Bible verse in your description. Appreciate that very much. You also, “have a blessed day.”

    Nice job Ed! I bought the same kit from Taylor Toolworks last year. I may have to re-do mine after seeing yours. I didn't build a table into my design, just the jaws. It works great but I can see where the table would make it nicer. God Bless! :)

    Nice work, I have decided to make mine a table top addition as well because it raises the joinery work higher to prevent back fatigue. I was also going to try to make my handles. I would like to know the background music in your video. Again, great video presentation.

    Hello! Great video and a wonderful end product. I am getting ready to build a moxon vice in a few days. I have the exact same hardware you were able to get. I only have some oak lying around and was wondering what wood you used and if you think oak would make for a respectable vice. Thanks very much. Have a blessed day!

    IF YOUR AN ACTUAL BEGGINER....LUCKILY THERE ARE PLENTY OF "ACTUAL BEGINNER TUTORIALS FOR A MOXON VICE"'.....because this should be completely disregarded.....save yourself the time and look at another. While I appreciate vids like this and the effort but....THE TITLE IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.....This isnt even remotely a BEGINNERS GUIDE. Let me ask a question....WHAT ULTIMATE BEGINNER HAVE YOU KNOWN WHO HAS A TABLE SAW WITH JIGS, BAND SAW, DRILL PRESS, ROTATING SANDER???? HEY AND LETS NOT FORGOT THOSE BUNCH OF PARALLEL CLAMPS AND PLANER SOMEONE LEFT IN THE BACK OF THEIR CLOSET....AS....A....BEGINNER. Lets just have them rummage them out...... THIS....IS....THEY....FURTHEST....THING.....POSSIBLE.....FROM.....A.....BEGINNERS.....GUIDE. Either your TROLLING or worse....HAVE COMPLETELY LOST REALITY AS TO WHAT A BEGINNER IS IN WOODWORKING. WHAT...A....JOKE.

    Why are you calling the wood “material”? It’s wood but like a lot of KZread carpenters you don’t state what type of wood it is, i.e. poplar, red oak, etc, etc. is there an unwritten rule that states you have to be coy when it comes to wood types.
