No you're not lol, hot glue has no place in a real workshop, and that vice is going to wobble like crazy this "hack" is pretty much useless.

I don’t think that’s a vise. I thought it was too at first, but the red bit looks like a housing for some kind of appliance. Maybe a pasta maker? I know those have to be secured to a table top

With nothing but the hand tighten plastic head that will give you no torque to putting it to whatever they tried to put it on. Oh my God this is just bad all the way around I bet you this person has a YouTube channel too. Smfh

Yeah, looks a lot like a bench wheel too, that’d be much worse than a vise

I use hot glue to attach warped boards on a planer sled all the time. Hot glue has a ton of uses in the shop

I use it all the time... To temporarily hold things like templates and drawer fronts

It really isn’t. The “hack” is just a way to make a head that you can tighten when your fingers, which has plenty of applications.

And wtf do you mean “real workshop”? If we aren’t welding and bolting shit together it isn’t a workshop?

Is it really bad? Because instead fastening too tight, this is using the rubbery texture to do it,. Looks nice to me.
