CARVING VISE “HI-VISE” PLANS

Category:
Description
These drawings aren't officially available yet because I'm in the process of building the vice and making a YouTube video of the process! Beginning July 1st 2026, my new monthly shop drawings will be made available to "White Oak" Tier ($10mo) and above Patrons every month. Each shop drawing will accompany a detailed YouTube build video where the project is built and narrated by myself -Braden Tokoly. If you would like to receive a complementary shop drawing and all new monthly drawings to follow, you may do so by becoming a "White Oak" Tier or above Patron.

This is a traditionally designed Carving Vise or "hi-vise" as some like to call it. I've added a few of my own design improvements, the first being a sliding dovetail joint for the lower screw arm for strength and simplicity. I've also taken the opportunity to complicate the upper arms with a tasteful dovetail box joint to close off the rear of the vise (hiding the screw) and support an attractive and useful shelf (if I do say so myself). Lastly, the vise jaws on my design are interchangeable to allow for purpose built jaws and to replace worn jaws when needed. Purpose built jaws give the vise more utility as they can be used for clamping parts based on their specific shapes and sizes.
