I used Corruseal rust converter on mine with good results. Great looking vise

I have the 6" version and use it almost daily. Great vise.

Thanks guys, I will have a better idea once I get the grinder going. I was looking at a dust deputy type apparatus.

I have a pheer grinder coming next week, and in preparation for it I have been working on this shavings catcher. I need a small piece of pipe to attach a blast gate for the vaccuum when working with wood. I will cut the 4 inch pipe to size once the grinder shows up. Going to run it all the way through the sleeve and have it a few inches above the water. Any other recommendations for this setup? I am really sick of the dust.

After getting burned when my vise moved on me the other day, I decided it was time for a more permanent solution. Used some steel my buddy gave me off some gas wells and put concrete anchors through it. Only one in each corner for now, but I have 2 more holes if need be. You can see my old railroad tie vise post in the background.

Good idea on the hose rerouting. Thanks. I may replace all these hoses,it all looks old.

Thanks everyone. I also found a valley brand forge that looks similar, except that it has a door on the back.
I did find another leak right where it goes into the tank, so I won't be able to see what it's really got until I replace that.

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't really going for anything other than practice. I bought some cheap rebar so I wouldn't be wasting time on expensive materials. As far as the shape, I was just messing with bends on the horn vs the side of the anvil and then bending them back. I am working with a bench grinder and angle grinder with sanding disk for now, but have started looking for a belt grinder/sander. I have been watching videos and reading this forum none stop. I plan on attempting some different tongs with the rebar this weekend.
Thanks again.

Can you please suggest or link some good all round tongs? I am completely new to this.
Thanks in advance

I don't even know what 1045 is. Lol. I bought 3 pieces of 10 ft rebar to play with until I get my hammering technique down. I saw a leaf on another post I am going to attempt, but I really need to try to make some tongs or buy some.
I can't believe how fun it was making that.

Wow, looks awesome, I am going to attempt a leaf.
