Visited my friend, Jeremy, for the first time to work on a joint project. A dovetail-joint master, he has built two simple but efficient mini-workbenches out of scraps for hand-tool work that serve the function of a Moxon’s Vise as well as a small workbench for chopping work. A pair of F-clamps used with the sliding design of the jaw make this min-workbench easy to build and use.

What a great idea. Looks like it will be very sturdy for long use

This is an excellent idea. I have been thnking of ways to get more use from my original work bench, it is 36” high, but when I am doing special projects I like it to be higher, this idea would do that. THANKYOU,

Fantastic idea. With some modifications This will work perfectly for something I have been struggling with. To the drawing board I go…
Thank you so much for the post!

This demonstrates that with a little ingenuity a workshop can be very effective without huge investments. Well done!

Looks great! I built a mini-bench, but no moxon vise. Love to see more people using pine!
