One of the biggest upgrades made to Adam's shop over the past year has been the addition of his new workbench, which was made by woodworker and engineer Andrew Klein. And as Adam has used this workbench's numerous features for his builds, he's come up with ideas of his own to make the bench work better for his needs. Today's upgrade is to the bench's vise, giving its handle better ergonomics and a design inspired by the handles on his mill.

Just wrap a coat hanger on the tommy bar. It is literally a one minute fix. Once the bar quits flopping around turning it quickly is easy when the bar is balanced.

The coat hanger can look a bit janky. Doesn't bother me.

It is a fair example of going overboard finding a solution to a simple problem. Adam failed to identify the real problem here. It is that tommy bar flopping around. If it didn't do that then it'd be easy to turn quickly. If you could just set the bar in a balanced position and it stayed there then spinning it is easy to do. But trying to hold the bar and spinning it at the same time is not so easy to do. What Adam did solved the problem but in a very complicated way.

What I do is just wire the tommy bar up so it doesn't flop around loosely. Then I can balance the bar in the socket and spin the vise very quickly. Wiring the bar up also avoids the dreaded blood blister getting caught by the end stops of the bar on the socket. When that bar comes down it hits hard. The moral of the story is don't let your bar flop around.

When changing the chuck on the lathe: 1, Put a flat piece of wood on the bed to avoid damage if you drop it. 2, Hold something in the chuck, like a pipe or short broom handle, to act as a handle. Alternative to using the grub screws on their own, you could put a steel ballbearing in the slot and hold it in place with an ordinary grub screws. When the ballbearing wears out (and they will take a very long time wear) you can just put new one in; no special turning needed.

As always, I thoroughly enjoy watching your thought process as you go through your one-day builds. Also, the advice to always take apart your tools, and learn how they work is fantastic. I also have been doing that for years and that is how I got into the hoppy of building computers. I remember my mom, and later my wife, always asking me why something was taken apart. "Did it break?" Well, no, I just wanted to see how it worked and if it could be tweaked. LOL

I think he should’ve put a wheel with a knob on it instead

@slowdaze 3 жыл бұрын

The issues with a wheel are the size of it (more weight and obstruction, it would stick up above the surface of the vise) to get the same torque as the bar and more awkward speed changes. Also cost, that’s more machining and material.

@@slowdaze you buy a premade wheel, and this is a soft jaw vice, you're not putting 1,000 foot pounds of force into it. also- i'd machine the adapter out of hex and waterjet an ACME big ass wrench from 1/2" steel, and chain it to the table for that stuff where you need more OOMPH then a 6"-8" wheel gives.

This is what I was thinking also. A purchased dished hand wheel is what $60. The folding handle fits right in. It replaces 3 or 4 fabricated parts with one purchase part. Easy! Although some clamping force is sacrificed.

I love what you said about taking your tools apart- basically every tool I own, with the exception of simple things like screwdrivers etc, are all secondhand either from craigslist or from digging them up half burried where they were left a century ago when lineshaft tools started to fall out of favor. everything I use Ive gone through by hand, taking things apart down to the smallest screw to clean the rust off and get it running like new. I feel like that gives me a much better relationship with my tools as when something starts going wrong I can usually tell immediately what and where the trouble is. Plus it helps that im really not a fan of proprietary parts and so my things are all able to be repaired with simple parts from any hardware store.

I wonder what would Adam do, if Jamie went to his shop and exploded a 2-liter bottle of diet coke all over his lathe? ;)

@assassinlexx1993 3 жыл бұрын

He would never do that. But he moved tools to a different location. That would drive Adam bananas.

It’s diet. Hose the thing down, dust with CRC and move on. Grab regular coke, though.......

Instead of installing the new collapsible handle perpendicular to the bar why not install the collapsible handle so that it sticks out of the end of the bar and then folds over when in use? Installation would have been one tapped hole. I feel like rotation during use wouldn't have been a problem because if you are using the handle then your grip keeps the bar from rotating. If you are not using the new handle then the bar is free to rotate because the handle is stowed in line with the bar.

@ozcanison 3 жыл бұрын

This is exactly what i was thinking, have it on the end and fold out. The whole bar is then straight when you dont need the folded bit.
