How to make: Mini Moxon Vise

To make my vise I used 2 kinds of wood. Beech for jaws and walnut for wheels. To cut the shape I used cnc router. On the picture you can see dimensions of all parts.

Improve the Edges

After cutting the edges don't look good. To improve them use sandpaper or belt sander. To round off the wheel's edges I used drill and sandpaper. To make chamfer use a table saw.

Nuts, Screws, Leather

To make the screws I bought a long threaded rod and I cut two short pieces . I used a metric thread M10. Next, insert nuts in the holes. Glue leather to the jaws and excess of the skin just cut off.

Almost Done

To better look and protect vise you can paint it or use oil. I used a Tung Oil. When oil is dry just screw all parts together.

Finish :)
