FredlyFX Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 This is my 100lb post vise mounted to a steel table. I also have a cheap Harbor Freight machinest vice attached to the other corner. Quote
Glenn Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 Ok, it is a post vise without the post, or a leg vise without the leg. Any suggestions on what it really is and why it has no leg? And if it has no post, how can it be a post vise? Quote
yesteryearforge Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 It appears to be a wagon tounge vise / to be attached to the tounge of a covered wagon as they headed west Quote

Jmercier Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 My main shop vise is mounted to my big workbenchhttp://www.tharkis.com/images/shop/viseandhammers.jpg I've got another big one mounted to a 2x4 tower because i had a pile of 2x4s on hand when I wanted to mount it. I need to replace the spring on it though.http://www.tharkis.com/images/shop/2by4towervise.jpg Lastly is a pair of smaller ones (3 and 4 inches) both needing mounting hardware, and one needing a spring, which i'm going to mount in much more portable fashion once I forge the needed parts.http://www.tharkis.com/images/shop/grindersandvises.jpg Quote
Michael Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 60 lb vise, $40. I lagged a 2x4 to the shop wall, then lagged a 2x8 to that and mounted the vise on it. working on a portable stand. Quote

Frosty Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 This is my 6" Indian Chief. I picked it up near Reno about 20 years ago for WAY more than folk in the mid west would think a bad joke. It cost less to air freight it to Alaska. I also have a 4" no-name but it's not set up, buried in fact. There'll be room in the new shop though. :cool: Frosty Quote
Frosty Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Okay, this is the pic I forgot to attach to the previous post. Go ahead laugh, I'm used to it. Frosty Quote
