Nice foot pedal vise here, first one I've seen with the wheel. I have to admit I totally stalk this seller on ebay, they sell some amazing stuff. http://www.ebay.com/...=item19cd9a4c11

The shape and color of it in the last pic makes me think of an obsidian blade, very cool.

Looks like these guys are using foot pedal vices.

What are you replacing it with now?

Nicely machined parts are always fun to have, good luck on the build! keep us updated with pics if you can.

That was my intention and I just realized that I cut the long pieces to 36" instead of 34" like I had planned... I should have referred to my drawing more when I was measuring. 34" would make it level with the anvil and when I weld a plate to the bottom with will raise it a little above.

Put this together earlier today for my 2ft section of rail I am making into an anvil, based on the anvilfire drawings. I used two 2x10x10 treated boards from lowes, cut 5, 10 inch pieces and 4, 34 inch pieces and a few other pieces on the side and back from what was left over. Still more to do... sand surfaces, weld a plate to the bottom of the rail, drill holes in the rail, mount a hardy hole block on the upper wood surface, side tool holders.... and maybe cut and grind a piece of another rail to weld on top of the big one for a better working area as on one of the anvilfire drawings. http://www.anvilfire...rail_anvils.php I need a mig welder and a chop saw....and warm weather....and my shop to be finished being built...
