I love factory tours and how it’s made videos. I remember as a kid going on the brewery tour at Olympia Brewing, and also the Hershey chocolate factory. There were also tractor factories and auto manufacturers are more. It seems like there are a lot less of those available nowadays, but luckily there are fun videos that are still available from a lot of manufacturers. So, you can imagine my excitement when I saw that Jason and the crew at Fireball Tools had posted up a video on just what goes into the build of their insanely awesome Hardtail vise.
Watch the video below to see all the details, companies, and craftsman that are involved in building what just might be the ultimate bench vise ever made.

Today I’m making a Hardtail Vise the only way we know how: melting iron, casting massive parts, machining everything to precision-instrument tolerances, and stress-testing it. In this special behind-the-scenes look, I walk you through how we build the world’s strongest, smoothest, largest-opening bench vise from raw metal to final assembly.
