so I built these work benches a couple
years ago in my Rhode Island shop out of a couple dozen pallets
now these benches are rock-solid but there's been one thing I've been meaning
to add to these and that's a bench vise so I'm gonna make a sliding Moxon style
vise along the edge of one of my work benches but I'm gonna make that out of
pallet wood as well because apparently that's what we do around here.
So I'm gonna
start by cutting off the edge of this bench and then I'm gonna do one of my
classic pallet laminations and turn it into a bench vise now with the overhang on the bench cut
off I just need to keep working it until it is flat and square so that the bench
vise lines up perfectly with the edge of the table check this out, I found this beautiful birch pallet
wood so I decided to do the responsible thing and hide it under the bench where
nobody will ever see it not to support this bench vise I'm
using pipe clamps with three-quarter inch galvanized pipe supporting it and
to drill the holes I had to order a special one and 1/16 inch Forstner bit
now this exactly matches the diameter of the pipe hey thanks for watching this is my new
bench vise made using pipe clamps and built entirely from pallet wood of
course this was a modification that I made to my existing pallet wood work
benches that I built a couple of years ago I actually just put some plans
together for this workbench including the optional bench vise I'll be sure to
link that on screen as well and check all the links down in the description
for everything relating to this project tools and materials on this build will
be linked down below and while you're at it go check out my kit I took the time
to fill that up with a categorize list of all the top tools that I recommend and
use in my shop all the time and even my camera gear so if you're ever wondering
what I'm using you can probably find it in my kit alright that should keep you busy for a
little while thank you for watching see you next time
