I really enjoyed this young mans video. This is what we need, more young men working with their hands instead of fingers and thumbs playing videos.  When I was a kid we played outside no matter what the weather and  had to be called to the house to come in. Now days you don't even see young kids playing outside. Video games have become the baby sitter of lazy parents and we will regreat it one day.

Sometime it is best to retreat to fight another day. I can see the bunch of us getting thrown under the buss on this but what are friends for.

I think of it as every day is Saturday

If it is for the office a table lamp or tall floor light would look great.

I was the first one Mr. Jim answered the question to. I havee mine mounted to the work table and use it a lot. I like the way it rotates. Nice find. Ultra large vice grip.

crucifiction for tax payers??????

Great work from the other side of the pond. I also would be honored to call you a friend and welcome.

Here are two of my vises. I found the Wilton in a soon to be scrap bin.

Glenn, you got an example?

I considered that but I am 6'3" and it seems to work with my arm at my side bent at the elbow at 90deg. I have a friend that is learning to blacksmith along with me and it might be a little tall for him. I may put a sleeve in the pipe to make it adjustable to fit both of us. If my son usees it he is 6'6". Another great call.

I didn't think about a swing arm. Great call. I will have to look into that.

I just completed my forge. 26"x42" table with wheels to roll it outside when using. 1/2" plate to hold fire. Royal Western Chief blower mounted to one of the wife's old cast unbrella stand. No hood as I do all my forging out doors. let me know what I could do to make it better.

Thanks

Thanks Jim. I thought it was a unique vise. I would like to see the drill press that goes with this vise.

I bought this vise for $50 just because I have never seen on and it swivels 360 deg. Markings on it say it was made by M&P Tool MFG. Co., Saginaw Mich. It works great but would like to know a little more history. Any help would be great. Thanks

just aquired 238lb peter wright.

How can you date this Peter Wright Anvil?

here it is

It does work. Bought my first 30lb anvil which looked like it was chewed on by a pack of anvil eating dogs. Then a Peter Wright that had the tail broken off. Then this Peter Wright. Paid $100. the numbers are 2 0 14 which I think is a 238lber

I just got this anvil today. Couldn't read anything on the side except 2 0 14. Tool a wire brush and found Peter Wright under the paint. $100.00 I believe this was a good deal

I have found most of my hammers at garage sales, junk shops, antique shops, ets... for less than $5. You would be surprise how much more people think a hammer is worth with a handle and most won't hold up to more than a few strikes.

Try a ferrier supply, maybe in Tyler or Marshell. I am paying $12 for a 50lb bag here in Ft. Worth
