The leg vise is used primarily for working the edges of boards and the ends of narrower boards. This is self explanatory. With the right technique you can plane across wide boards without repositioning the board. To work long boards, fasten a batten to the right leg with a holdfast and use that to support the end of the long board. For working the ends of smaller boards the leg vise can be used, but for precision work like dovetailing, we use and recommend our Moxon Vise.

Tom Mainplane. Constantly reaching for the pair that I bought several months ago. I have a 2" thick bench top and they work perfectly. On softer woods, I use an extra piece of wood to prevent marring. They hold tight and release quickly once you get the knack for the right amount of force to use.

Buy a pair now! My Gramercy Hold Fasts arrived so quickly, I've not had a chance to drill out the holes I'm adding to the elevated Moxon vise I'm building. The product is both simple and extremely well made.

Any cast iron hold fast doesn't stand a chance up against the Gramercy products. Cast iron cannot take the beating without cracking and forged hold fasts were beyond my budget. I'm pleased I found these beauties! Just received these holdfasts by Fed-Ex today. The product arrived on time and is exactly as advertised.

These things are beefy and breakage does not seem possible! What a great American made product. Buy two Recently added two of Joel's holdfasts to my bench, because I wasn't pleased with the cast holdfasts I've used for a long time. The Gramercy holdfast is excellent, which is not a surprise. The surprise is that, by a simple 'workaround', it also works beautifully in my Sjoberg bench, which has 1" holes. This short 'bushing' goes into the bench's hole, and then the holdfast is inserted.

Works great, and my bench is not damaged by an ill-fitted shaft. Thanks, Joel! Received my pair of Gramarcy holdfast's yesterday, just in time to put them to use on my new bench. Couldn't be better. Highly recommend these to everyone who wants a quality product that does the job perfectly. Deseo destacar que el producto es excelente y felicitaciones a todo el equipo de Holfast por fabricar tan buenas herramientas para el oficio de carpintero.

I wish to emphasize that the product is excellent and congratulations to all the team for making Holdfast as good tools for a carpenter. Happy to you and all the best!!! Having taken the last year building my workbench, I promised myself that upon completion my reward would be to purchase a set of these holdfasts. Well, the workbench is done and the order was placed on Cyber Monday! The holdfasts arrived at my doorstep by the time I arrived home from work Wednesday and I took little time unboxing them.

After one whack of the mallet I knew these were quality! They held the stock down securely and released it just as easily with a few firm taps to the side stem.

However, even with the lightning fast delivery, product that worked perfectly, professional and personal A-1 Customer Service As your website shows their products are of excellent quality.

These holdfasts work perfectly. They are a traditional concept made from modern material. Some of the holdfasts on the market look great but are made of a brittle material cast iron? They break. I doubt you could break one of these. I bought 1 and will buy another. I bought one of these holdfasts and only had to use it once to realize I needed a second one.

No more messing with on the edge of my bench. One hit with a mallet and it's solid. A tap on the back and it's loose. Thanks to the team at Gramercy for this very well made, traditional gem. Just a note to say thanks for the quick service. I received my holdfasts in four days plus a nice note from Marisa. Great service and nice touch too!

Thanks Tom. After years of clamping projects to my bench, I finally pulled the trigger on two of these. What a revelation! Don't think twice about purchasing a set; you will love the quick, simple, and amazing holding power. I purchased two of these holdfasts about a month ago and I absolutely love them.

Prior to purchasing these I was clamping everything to my workbench which took an exorbitant amount of time, now it takes just a couple of seconds to clamp wood to the bench. Great job Gramercy.

Best holdown going. Since you have gone to this effort, would it be possible to simply extend the leg, machine flat the palm of the arm, and make a handscrew fitting similar to a standard pipe clamp? Bought two of these holdfasts after my second cheap cast one broke.

These are terrific. Ancient design but nothing in my shop holds like these. Recommended on the Chris Schwarz Xmas list. I had to modify my bench as Gramercy recommends in the video, if your bench top is thicker than three inches, you have to widen the hole the holdfast goes into from underneath up to the 3 inch depth.

Will be back for more Gramercy tools when needed. Having searched for a classic hold-fast and going through at least one dramatic cast hold-fast failure , I was about to purchase a ductile iron model.

I then stumbled upon the Gramercy hold-fasts and in that process, discovered TFWW itself as a bargain. I ordered a pair, the price could not be resisted. These I use for the usual mortising functions, to hold dead-stops for planing and to hold down jig assemblies. Nothing exotic. At first, they came loose without much side pressure. Re-seating did not make much difference. But then I read some of these comments and, indeed, the stems do need to be scuffed up a bit.

I used a 60x sanding disk I had lying around, others said 80 grit, I suppose not enough difference. It did the trick! The work conventionally, tap-down to tighten, back-tap to release, fast and easy. A spare set of over-sized old holes at the back of the bench make for handy storage in my case.

As one refinement, I used Barge Cement contact cement to glue a pad of leather to the seating face to forestall marring. Seems to work just fine but time will tell. I recommend these highly, for performance, strength, looks and price, all in one package. Best damn Holdfast I've ever owned!! Depth, length, strength, etc. They work, but the Gramercy Tools Holdfasts are faster.

Can't beat the price, and they'll last several lifetimes. I bought 4. Got to make a mallet for whackin' 'em, now. I have designed and built my own very basic Roubo-style bench. Money, time, skill and tools were all in short supply so I built the whole thing out of construction grade 2X6 studs using only 90 deg cuts and an old, dull D12 saw. I do not have the money right now to buy any kind of decent vise so I thought I'd use holdfasts on the side in addition to the top.

The problem is that the holdfasts will not clamp down to the side no matter how hard or at what angle I strike them. I've used them successfully in my sawbenches that are built out of 2X4s. One good whack with the mallet on top sets it tight, another whack on the side and a pull up frees it. Otherwise they're great and well worth the money. Any advice or information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I will be returning to buy in the future - Thanks - Bill. Quicker than clamps or vises and they hold just as strong.

Exceptionally well made. I've got a 4" bench top and 6" legs with dog holes. Clamps down well on both. I'm not exaggerating when I say mine are among my favorite tools. I've had these Gramercy holdfasts for a couple of years now and just wanted to let you and others know how I love using them.

So much faster and easier than other methods of clamping to the top of my workbench. Although I'm recommending users glue a piece of leather on the contact point to avoiding marring your wood. I haven't been able to find any other holdfasts of this quality any where near this price. Definitely one of the best values in my wood shop! Just got my holdfasts and they perform exactly as advertised. My brother in-law was visiting NYC but couldn't make it in to the store so I had it delivered to his hotel.

The package arrived at the hotel the next morning and the cost was very reasonable. I can't believe I waited so long to buy these! They are hands down the best work holding device I have ever used.

In terms of cost to usefulness there is no question that these are one of the highest value woodworking purchases you will encounter. Many thanks to Joel and the gang for producing such a excellent and so well priced item. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Just got a set and after some grit they hold great in my 3" thick bench. I think I have to relieve the back of the holes about 1" x 1" and then they will work great there too.

I've had these since they first came out, seems like 5 years now. They are great, form, function, and tremendous holding powers. Love them and all the Gramercy products I own. I have a pair of these for my 3 inch thick woodworking bench and they have awesome holding power after a few passes if 80 grit sandpaper.

They have been in my garage for almost a year and they are the only metal item in it that I haven't had to clean rust off of. The metal is high quality and they look cool too! I will be buying more. I don't have a split top roubo, only a cobbled together bench but these still work amazingly well.

I am no longer chasing the work piece and my work is safer. They are wonderful tools which work extremely well - speeding up my work enormously.

The service provided by the Brooklyn store from Jocko was superb. I bought two but am about to order more. Built like a rock, nice pads, drop-whack-work-smack Perfect function, expertly made and easy on the wallet These are the only holdfasts that work as advertised, and can handle repeated pounding with a wooden mallet. You can't go wrong with a pair of these. Like all the other reviewers say, these hold great!

Just pay attention to the instructions about the holes and the suggestion of using a leather patch. What REALLY impresses me is that you, Joel, figured out what was the essential feature of holdfasts, and then found a manufacturer to make them to that specification in the USA for the price you sell them for.

These work great in my 3" Doug Fir bench. I showed my six year old how they hold. He asked if they were "magic". I told him no, but I think yes. Just received a pair yesterday. They shipped quickly and with a quick wipe down they were ready to use.

I have a 2" thick bench and they hold and release great with a moderate whack of the mallet. No more clamping to the bench with hand clamps! These are great to have in the shop, I use them quite a bit for work holding.

It works just fine, and holds like the dickens. You'll want to have a beefy wooden mallet for whacking the back of the holdfast to get it loose, and for setting it. I find that having some small scraps of pine to rest on my work before whacking really helps with my thinner bench top, as it elevates the head a little. I don't have experience with other holdfasts but I don't think others could work any better, especially at this price.

I should buy another pair. I can't get the 5th star highlighted all the way. I have four of these holdfasts. My bench's top is 3" thick. They are simply amazing. Not only do these work Perfectly, but if you have never used holdfasts, you owe it to yourself to give them a try. And you won't find a more economical set to try the process with. If you do hand work, these will very simply speed up your work, by offering a consistent and rigid way of holding your work.

I can't speak highly enough of them. Why did all previous standard style holdfasts disappoint so badly?
