Homemade Bench Vise | DIY Build with Engineering Plans

In this video I show you how I built a heavy duty bench vise similar to the Fireball tool vise, but completely from scrap metal. This build ended up costing only $74 dollars and I had a blast. Free plans are provided at the end of the video if you want to try to build this exact vise. It requires only simple tools. If you do build one, make sure and let me know how the build turns out. I got the hardware for this build from Amazon and you can find links below. All the metal came from the scrap yard and cost me $0.30/lb, which is what made the project so cheap. Hope you enjoyed the video and happy fabricating! Stay safe.
