Hi rad2776 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What kind of tools are you interested in building next?

Hi rad2776,

Welcome!

Have you seen these Moxon entries? Post a note with any questions you might have to our Help Me Build subforum and you're sure to receive some useful input.

What are you planning to do with the new vise?

thanks for the info, Ken. I'll be using the Moxon Vise for end grain work and dovetail joinery. It's step two in my attempt to set up our new garage/shop. We've recently down-sized and our garage is much smaller than the last one. Got rid of all my large milling machines and will slide into hand work. I built a Moravian workbench by Will Meyers and now I need a Moxon to get the board ends up where I can see them. All this is just for personal use and maybe the family, when I get better at cabinetry. I actually enjoyed making the Moravian so much, I'd like to make another one. This time with better materials. The first one was a "proof of concept" in retrospect.
