About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

I don't mind at all. I am glad it was a nice addition to your vise. I can tell you have been thinking this one out for a long time because your mechanical structure worked flawless. I absolutely love the springs on my vise because I don't have to worry about parts falling out. I could only imagine if all knife makers put their ideas into one...the tools we could come up with would be insane and very helpful in our daily knife lives. Can't wait for you to hit 100,000 subscribers.

Something like what you are describing is very similar to Laura Kampf and Adam Savage's tape holder build on the Tested channel. It was so ridiculously over-engineered for a tape dispenser but was insanely versatile and functional!
"It's my metal lathe; I can do whatever I want." Loved that line.
Nice work! I am teaching a knife making class of 8 student next weekend and needed 8 knife clamps. I made mine simpler (though will not last as long) using a single pipe that I found along a road then welded 2 nuts/bolts at 90 degrees offset. Wooden holder same as yours from an old oak barn beam. Welded each one to a 3” section of angle iron to enable clamping to the table. Total cost was under $2 each!
One of my favourite things about your videos is the way you revel in every little victory that comes during your builds. You look to take a lot of pleasure in what you do. I love that

hello my friend. my name is Cristian and im following some of your videos for some time now. im from Uruguay and here is not easy to have a workshop like yours. anyway im trying and one thing its been usefull for me is copying others ideas. i hope one day you can see some of your things working on my place. thank you for your ideas. one day ahead i'll be sendig some pics of my knives and other stuff see you
Jeremy, I love watching your videos! I watched this one and think a swivel feature would be very useful. If you needed to, say, add in some file work/jimping, it would be more than beneficial!
Damn that is cool. Very well done.

Said it before nice to watch a guy with both the tools and the skills to use those tools! I made something similar to your simple model except I had a round tube welded to the square tube, that way the round bit goes in the vice and I can just loosen the vice to twist it, being round I can get any angle. Final thought, with that mailing machine could you mill some g10 or micarta with a dado or slot so that you could make a full tang knife but covered three quarters, you could leave the spine flat with the back of the milled slot and curve the front of the handle as normal but just he shaping handle material and not the tang, possible just a lanyard tube (with epoxy) would hold the tang in place...I don't have a mill so can't do it but would love to do so if I had the equipment.
Jeremy you have mad skills

Holy Moly, you just put that knife makers vise to a whole new level and beyond, could it be more elaborated? And dear lord, your workshop/station, its almost unfair, ahahah, keep up the good work man, your awesome! cheers!
Hey , nice video btw, I made one also but I used adjusting bolts and spring loaded returns to home when the adjuster on the top are backed off . Haven’t used it yet been dealing with the summer heat here in SW Florida.
Beautiful work as always. I've never understood why people don't like wood in the metal lathe.
for those of us without a mill? lol Love the design, think I may have a friend that can help with the mill parts

I love the channel. Been watching for awhile. I made the Walter Sorrells simple vise 1 pipe version, but I am interested in the "spring-screws". What are they for exactly?
Great job by the way what kind of cutoff saw is that you have to cut your steel with
Sensacional
Another great video!! How do you have your portable band saw mounted?
What color paint is that? I love the slightly metallic graphite look of that!
I'm seriously addicted to your videos and watching you make things lol.. hopefully things pick back up for you with the revenue situation buddy.

Jeremy I have a question, is there a steel that new knife-makers or beginners can use that doesn't require to be heat treated, like 440C or some other steel that is better than 440C but doesn't require to be heat treated?
I almost forgot, can you explain how the Foredom angle grinder is used, or how it works? and is it a separate piece of equipment or is it an attachment or a part of the milling machine?
Wow. I guess when your making a lot of something you figure out how to improve the process. Very nice upgrade.

Jeremy I'm watching this video again, and just thank you for putting this video up, I really enjoyed watching this video. I do have a quick question, I've been thinking of getting a mini or small milling machine, and I see you using yours in the video, and I'm wondering about my own needs of a milling machine, basically in terms of size ( horse power, milling travel on vertical and horizontal axis) so here's the question, how big of a milling machine is required if someone like me just wants to occasionally wants to mill a part for knives, or making items like the knife makers vise? There's nothing wrong with being Canadian. I'm in West Hill, and love being a Canadian. Cheers.

Hey you betcha! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the compliments! I do think that small milling machines are really handy and I have a Craftex CX600, but I ended up lucking out and getting one used for $900 with a metal lathe and a bunch of accessories. Something like this CX600 is a decent sized for knife making. Let's you do enough stuff as far as jigs and fixtures go and would probably be useful for making folders and stuff too. I really wouldn't want to have anything smaller than this. The Foredom is a rotary tool (like a dremel on steroids) and it's separate from a milling machine. It's an awesome tool and they sell them at Lee Valley. (but Foredom sent me one to give away!!!!) Cheers!
What milling machine do you use?
