Another patternmaker's vise

Recommended Posts

The seat addition to the bench also makes it perfect to use another one of my favorite vises mostly used for plane making or carving odd shaped items that need constant repositioning. It is held on the bench through one of the hold fast collars and it rotates 360 degrees. Jaws also swivel to hold odd shaped items.

That's a new one to me!  With some effort a fellow could make one of those.

They are in fact inspired by some home made ones from the early 1800s on.They are called "chops" and were mostly used by carvers.

Awesome but of course a mostly iron vise screw driven wooden vise with brass runners.  I have none but would love such.

I understand your disappointment. Totally out of wood you will probably never see one since they would have to be substantially larger kind of defeating the purpose of a bench top easily removable vise. However, just give me a little time. One coming up.

Can we get some more pics of that workbench?  And of the end vise?  I assume it flips up.  Patternmakers vise?

Here is a post from a little while ago

 

My workbench is a bit different than most due to my profession.It is highly specialized for my needs and it is the culmination of a lifetime of learning and influence by those who inspired me. It is the most important tool in the shop and actually in my life. Without it nothing happens. It is the main tool for material preparation and assembly. It’s based mostly on a Shaker workbench design. It is dead straight, 16” wide and 12” long. It is immovable, weighing about 1500Lbs. It has 4 vises. Two Emmert Pattern makers vises, one at each end and two large Wiltons on the front, one on left a quick clamp and release. The largest Emmert’s rotation is foot operated. Top has 4 retractable bench stops, and hold fast collars throughout its length. It has adjustable height work support on front at both ends and traveling bench slave in center.Tool trough is an old wood gutter from a neighbor’s house. Base has splayed legs at back and its all mortise and tenon construction with top and front apron dovetailed into base.

I will eventually regain speech and the means to type... 

For now it's not just this one thing!  I've never even seen two Emmert's in one photo!  And now on one bench!  Somehow, I don't think that's fair...
