Finally got a stand made up for my Post Vise. Had to get some plate, pipe and a welder to put it together. The base is 24" diameter, I would go bigger next time. 3" Schedule 40 pipe, 1/2" inch top and bottom plate. The post the vise is sitting on is crooked, I wanted the vise to be straight. Hindsight I probably could have straightened the mount first... It's fairly stable as is, and when needed I can stand on the plate to add weight. I wanted it round to be able to move around in my small garage shop.

Trying to re-open this thread to see if anything has changed. Any Coal near Southern metro Detroit area?

Prayers you him, you and family.

Prayers for him and his family.

Nice use of materials. Your welds are looking great!

Looking good. Keep banging on that steel.

I was getting ready to post the same thing. Thanks

Simply elegant. Very pleasing and wont detract from the flowers, but rather add a bit of pizzaz. Nicely done. I am sure they will love it.

Great to hear of your success! Sounds like you could make a fortune in "S" Hooks!

Looking good CV! Keep pounding that metal.

Welcome aboard! Grab a hammer and step to the anvil! I too live in SE Michigan, Wyandotte to be specific. I have a portable smitty set up at my Dad's place. If you guys would like to come over, I would be happy to show you around the fire and anvil. I too am just starting out, but am well on my way (so I'm told). Jeff

And Again!

Very nice! Where did you get it from?

Done
