    Problem somebody tried a sloppy weld and snagged out both factory holes. Would need to drill and tap from scratch

    Ok guys I see cast iron, ductile iron, and forged stellar vises. Pros and Cons. Some of these buggers are WAY expensive???

    Well broke my cheapo HE vise today. Broke out a used Babco 605. Anyone have one. Missing a jaw plate trying to figure out how to put in a replacement. Screw holes are shot. Wondering if I preheat would it weld in?

    Follow Bam Bam's plan. Your COCOA is a great resource and a written 3 year business plan will really open your eyes to all the "hidden" expenses.

    You may want to inquire on Legal Zoom for professional law advise.

    It's steel. And high grade. Pretty sure it's a mount for an injection mold.

    Thanks. Very much a newbie still. Wanted to forge this weekend but we got over a foot of snow and I am open air setup. I'll let ya know. Again thanks.

    Second grind on new hammer. Think I have it rounded well. What does everyone think?

    Thanks

    Team. Just modified my new hammer. Any thoughts on the grind?

    Thanks Charlotte

    Hello team. What's everyone on a good source of temp sticks/crayons for heat treating. My iron maxes out at 600 degrees.
  14. Ernie42141
    Now that is a good idea. Would be really easy to fabricate. I like it. Ideas evolve and plans change. I'm going with it. Thanks.

    I was planning on making a ledge on one side later. Your first reply to the original pick really got me thinking of all the options for this baby. Thanks for the input. I was testing the height and it was rebounding great. Can't imagine when I sit it on edge

    That's great hillbilly. My guys are really nice too. I just have to get in early before they get going and they take me to the stuff and load it. You buy those guys lunch 1 time and they'll be calling you.

    With 1" barstock i can attach anything. Work on building a post vise next. Think I'll make the vise as a drop in. Haven't decided for sure.

    Loved it. Great tip/video
  21. Ernie42141
    Was wondering get what I needed till I watch a local knife make just grab a pipe wrench. Twisted the heck out of a railroad spike
  22. Ernie42141
    Thing rebounds great even on the wood floor. Just waiting for my smith friend to hammer out my horn. Less than $20 in whole thing.
  23. Ernie42141
    Joe are you selling any of the extra vises.
  24. Ernie42141
    Yeah that's why I don't keep a clock in the shop. That way I can lie to myself

    Going out today to trade him some exotic woods I'll get some of his work. He was finishing a beautiful Damascus piece yesterday.
