Good idea with pipe clamps!

Wow, great job, better than mine.

I didn’t add the top level or dog holes.

Much the same, right down to the Bessey and Irwin clamps too !

I’ll bet you like it a lot !

-- dust control

that’s not super cheap,
that’s actually way stronger than the wheel,
and what very important is you made it from a real woodworkers standpoint,
very nice

Excellent vice build, it will serve you well. Congrats

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

Thanks for the comments guys.

So I got a chance to really try this thing out tonight. It is awesome.

It’s one of those “don’t know what you’ve been missing till you try it” kind of things.

I’ve literally spent the past three hours cutting dovetails with my $10 Craftsman saw and $5 HF butter knives (chisels).

I made the top for stability more than anything, but it makes an enormous difference when it comes to laying out pins/tails, and for chopping them out. The dog holes make this super functional as well.

This was one of those “for the hell of it” builds that will actually turn out to be extremely useful.

If you have a couple of pipe clamps, some wood cut-off’s, and a few hours of time, it’s definitely worth making
