Engineers vice wood jaws, for delicate work.

These are very handy. When you need it you need it. I’ve had them on many vises over the years. A good simple project.

Thanks, Mads! One of these days I need to find my supply of rare earth magnets. I suspect they’re stuck to something somewhere in the shop…

Hi guys,
I were actually happy to share this one, we often forget, that we were once beginners, so the simple projects is only simple once we have seen and made them.

doubleDD, yes they are really so easy to make, that it’s not worth skipping it. Smiles thanks.
lew, Thanks Lew, I think I’ll make a leather padded version also for this vice with the rough side out, so it will be extra gentle when needed.
Dave Polaschek, happy if it could inspire. Big laugh, yes they will show up in a strange place, perhaps upside down… Last time I bought some, the were hanging in the top of the mailbox, as the post man had put them in, they did not fall down, because the mail box is made of metal, laugh.

Best thoughts and happy new year,
Mads

Great idea Mads (as always with your work).

Any problem with the magnets in line with each other? Repelling obviously not but if there was an attraction of pulling the boards together? Probably not or you would have solved it.
Like how you did it. Happy New Year.

Hi 987Ron,
Clever observation, but these are not too strong, so no problem, but I remember when I did the glue up, I were afraid they would push them self out. I retro perspective I should have placed the off set and perhaps two on each side.
Thank you, happy new year.

I’ll definitely be making a set of those. I have some soft jaws for mine, but I like this even better. Thanks Mads!
