<div>Hi, I'm Jeremy. I'm in year 10 and have a personal interest in all things mechanical.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past year, for a school project, I’ve been designing a replica of a traditional cast-iron English vise that's double the original scale.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/95623967_1760440792661052_r." width="100%" />
<div><em>I based the design on my grandfather's 1950s Woden bench vise</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Apart from being a fun challenge, this project is a tribute to classic machine-age craftsmanship — back when things were built to last.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But it isn’t just about building a vise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s about learning about advanced manufacturing firsthand, personal growth and inspiring other students and makers to push the limits of design and engineering.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THE VISE FEATURES</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If I'm able to fund a prototype, it could become the largest functional cast-iron bench vise ever built.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/95623967_1760440659674171_r." width="100%" />
<div><em>This is a 3D model of the vise.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It will boast some impressive specs:
</div>
<ul>
<li>12-inch wide jaws
</li>
<li>Weigh over 400kg
</li>
<li>A calculated clamping force of over 30 tonnes (that's the equivalent weight of 5 fully grown African elephants)
</li>
</ul>
<div>Every part (from the ductile iron castings to the 4140 steel screw and bronze half-nut) will be engineered to industrial standards using modern computer-aided design, machining, and casting techniques.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>CAN YOU HELP?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve reached the stage where I’m ready to have the castings made and the bronze components machined.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this possible, I’m seeking support to raise $10,000. This will cover the cost of the materials, foundry work and transporting the end product.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps me reach this goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/95623967_1760440617675677_r." width="100%" />
<div><em>I spend a lot of my spare time tinkering in my shed.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ll be sharing regular updates, 3D models, and progress photos along the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this — and for helping me bring this overbuilt, over-engineered dream project to life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeremy
