Moxon was a bookbinder. Carpenters seem to have discovered bookbinding presses ten seconds ago and renamed them from “finishing press” “lying press” & “bench press” as called by bookbinders to the name of a bookmaker who happened to document these book binder’s presses. The two vises stood up in your photo are likely pictures of bookbinder’s finishing presses. If you were to look up bookbinding on youtube, you would discover that these twin- screw book presses are the basic vises in any bookmaking shop. And, yes, the finishing press is stored on end on the bench.

Thank You! And so glad I came across your channel. You are very talllanted and a great teacher 😊

I've not seen anything like this. Great ideas.

I really enjoyed watching and especially liked the cleverness of the quick release system. Thanks for sharing.

Exactly what I’m looking for

Well done. Good instructions, with encouragement to improvise as needed.

I will build that! Really great, simple design and very well described.

Thank you very much Sir.🎉

Thanks 😀

This is great! I made a Moxon Vise last year and now I need to think of how to modify it in order to add a top vise similar to yours.Thanks for the ideas and demonstration.

Nice mod. The base board of the upper vise, could be somewhat wider, more like a small table top. It would add support while clamping the top jaw.

I am for sure making one of these. Thank you.

I made a moxon vise years ago using pipe clamps. As the clamping means, this is so much more sophisticated and beautiful and useful. I don't know if I can reproduce it. I don't know if I have the skill but your plans and your video are magnificent

Really enjoying the videos. Thank you for sharing!

This has been fantastic. Thank you.

Excellent idea

I like this vise. Great job, going to have to make one my self now!

Rob ,job's good , but to try also give measurements in millimeters for us in UK and Europe , Thanks mate .

Very cool.

Great design

I like the double clamo

I like the quick release mechanism, never seen one like that. Excellent job.

I really like it. And will try it.

Awesome work Rob! You're really one of the few woodworkers doing anything new on youtube these days!

I learned a lot from you.

Love the design. I have a pipe clamp version, but I want to build this!

Nice design! 🤔👍🏻😃

Great instruction video well done

Enjoyed as always!

Awesome as usual

Really enjoyed seeing someone take metal working and apply it here. Thanks for the ideas!

Nice! Love the quick release, great idea!

Good job!

nice job!

Brilliant!

Another good video and great idea

Looks good!

good job. Thanks

Both twin screw vids are bang on

Such a great advancement on a traditional tool! I look forward to making one, and really appreciate that the plans are free!

Inspirational

Very clever idea, nicely done. Thanks for the inspiration and all the details and plans! Saturday safe.

Nice!

Another well thought out and executed project. I plan on building one of these and adding it to my bench. THANK YOU!

Brilliant, Rob! Really fantastic work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

TOTALLY AWSOME BUILD!!!! I WILL DEFINATELY BUILD THIS FOR MY SHOP THANK YOU SIR.

Well, the puzzle has me stymied - the fifth and last words. I'll have to get in a bit of workshop time and see where I dance and maybe that'll give me a clue. Cheers Rob.

Thanks for this build. I can see incorperating this into my shop.

Wow, that is a great idea to add jaws on the top, now I gotta change my plans for the vise I'm about to build :)

I might make this instead of the standard moon I was contemplating. One of the things that first drew me to your channel was your use of contrasting woods like I do. Especially padauk and pau Amarillo. 2 of my favorites.

Great job I have a small area to work in I will adapt it to fit

Been thinking about a Moxon vise for awhile, but always something else going on it seems. If I ever get to it this would be the way to go. Would be great for laying out, lining up, pilot drilling and connecting 2 pieces of whatever together.

Like it I will make this 😊

WOW!

Nice work.. I really like your quick-release concept. Where do I get that large tap and bit?

Very nice, Rob! I had an idea... instead of buying a drill bit and tap, you could cut two nuts (the same size the threads as the carriage bolts, obviously) in half and weld them to the steel plate. This would also give the carriage bolts more threads making it less likely to strip out. Just a thought.

Came looking for a comment like this but I was going to suggest epoxying a nut into 3/4 thick wood and then cut it like he did. Gives more threads like you said but also gives more material to grab when opening the clamping action

SIR, DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR YOUR ONE OF A KIND MARKING GUAGE ? I HAVE SEVERAL PICS BUT STILL CANT FOR SURE SEE HOW THE LED IS MOUNTED INTO THE BAR.

nice handles
