    Thank you, Phil. In Ukraine, you can buy the old post vices for $50...200 and I already have a vise to work. Indeed, brazing screw for the vise in the 21 century - is absurd. But I am interested in the authenticity of old technologies. Maybe I'll try to make such a screw, using bronze and borax. Alexander.

    Thank you for your reply! This is really interesting, but now I have a few questions about brazing (brazing screws only))): 1. Filler material. Now we have special alloys for steel (Cu-Zn or Ag-alloys etc.), but in the past used a pure copper? 2. Flux. Use the same flux as for forge welding (borax, salt, sand...) or more sophisticated? &3. Brazed screw is strong enough?

    Excuse me, if not in a theme. Help to find information. Perhaps it is on the forum, but I dont know much English and I cant find anything. How did forged post vice? The most difficult thing in a post vice - thread, the question is: how forged thread? Screw, I understand, I can do twisting, but the internal thread?..
