  1. Very nice , that gives me an idea that I need a set for my shop
  2. I agree ,get while you can, don't let it get away. You could resell it and get a bigger one later ,if you pass on it you'll probably regret it.
  3. Maybe we need a thread to show my post vises then we can compile and Id some of them
  4. I've started a small collection of post vises ,and would like to know if there's a book on post vises similar to the Anvils In America Mr Postman has written. I would love to see a compilation of the known makers and pictures of the various types of post vises. If anyone knows of this book please let me know. Thanks for any info on this subject.
  5. I guess I'm going to try using a house screw jack to do the repair. That was posted earlier on this website,and I have a few good of those,I make small tables with them.
  6. I have a old post vise 5 inch jaws that needs a screw and screw box . The screw box is a closed type,but I'll be happy to take any type. if any of you can help me out I'll be eternally grateful.
  7. You win,I can't imagine how anyone could ever get any better stuff to follow them home ,I'm lucky to get one or two things at a time . You got a whole shop ,next you will wake up an the shop it came from will magically appear at your place. Great haul !
  8. How about some pictures of the entire anvil ,all profiles .
  9. I dont do anything in flip flops,at all ! Anything! I won't even own them.
  10. Got this postvise at a junk store today,5 inch jaws, screw not so great . Once I get the screwbox out I'm going to use parts from another one to finish it up. This is the shortest postvise I've run across . I'll have to measure the height later, with some better pictures
  11. You can't beat that with a stick! You've got a good friend there, make or do something for him to show your appreciation for doing such a great favor. Great score !
  12. Pretty anvil you got there ,congratulations on the good find !
  13. Nice vise, get her mounted, start using it. Is it missing the spring ? I couldn't tell in the picture.
  14. Leave it alone!!! Use it in good health,make nice things with it .
  15. This followed my wife home, then she gave it to me. Great woman ! It has 5 inch jaws and what looks like a bronze screw box. Any ideas as to the maker? Now I need to get to making a spring and mount.
  16. Nice, clean anvil. If it's a sisco you will enjoy many years with it. Just make a nice stand and bed it down in silicone or construction adhesive to mute the ring. I've really enjoyed mine, they are great anvils Good luck on getting it moved
  17. Plenty of good use on this anvil , what are you wanting to do to the horn ? I don't see anything needed here , just start the forge,get to hammering.
  18. Just got all this at an auction for a 10$ US dollars . Want to make some fish spearheads out of some of the fork tines.
  19. Jb weld will have the effect of bubble gum to your anvil . It's not rigid and won't stand up to a repeated beating, it will make things worse .

    I haven't run across a wagon vise yet, good haul ! It's the white one at the top.
  21. Your right ,Frosty in most situations that is the case . This time I knew three of the four people biding on it , the one I didn't, was the guy who got it .
  22. I was just at an auction and watched a 50 pound Blackhawk anvil start for $100us dollars and quickly went to $245 U.S. Dollars 4.90 a pound. I told him for that per pound price I've got a couple of anvils I might sell him. that was before the auction 13 percent and sales tax
  23. Beautiful lady ready to do the hammer dance.
  24. What kind of vise you got there , looks just like one I've got.
