Soft Vice Jaws

Make, Tools 1 Minute

My bench vice has knurled steel jaws. That’s kinda rough when you want to hold soft materials like aluminium, brass, or plastic in the vice.

I converted an old kitchen chopping board into a couple of drop-in vice jaws, as a quick solution to the problem.

Not perfect, not pretty, but definitely functional.

This was a 30 minute project.

For as long as I can remember, I have been making, fixing, experimenting, and learning. Getting dirty, skinning my knuckles, and working with tools. Maybe you'll learn something by reading this blog and watching my videos -- a tip, a technique here and there -- or maybe you'll just learn that you can do it better than I can.
