brianbrazealblacksmith Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Good Morning all Very elegant as usual 3B. I see you revisited the Habermann bend. Are you getting ready for Valentines Day? -grant Thanks Grant, but Lyle did most of the work on the stand. I do use that bend as much as possible. It is one of the greatest things I learned from Alfred Habermann. Valentines Day? I'm on my way to New York right now to demonstrate with Lyle, LDW, for the Northeastern Blacksmiths Association. http://ashokancenter.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbrazealblacksmith Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 What did you use for the patina on the vise when you finished it? Thanks! I took it apart and wire wheeled it and then wiped it with oil cold. I started a fire under the stand and finished it with vegetable oil hot.

cvmikeray Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Cool project. I have a 4 inch vise that already has the leg missing so I wont feel like I am hackin on good tools. Thank Brian and Lyle. Tell Karen hello and enjoy NY. Should be pretty and decent weather this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylan veater Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi All, I just wanted to thank Lyle and Brian for this great vice idea. I had a vice I have been wondering what to do with.

LDW Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 You definitely had a plan before you got started. That is great. It is a fine looking vise, and larger than the one we built. Brian has pointed out its at a great height for rasping wooden handles. That cut away on one side of the jaw, and not cut away on the other is so useful. And recessing the slot so your stand has a better center of gravity with the vise is a big help too. Id give you a 10. Good going, its a pleasure to see someone think so far ahead. You even put a finish on the whole thing. That is pride, and well admired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordPrefect Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Is there a picture of the bottom of the stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timseye Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I just found this on the bay. It looks a little rusty and can't see much of the screw. You don't have to cut off the leg and the price may be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 He has a real shipping charge on it, I expect it will have some bids and not go for the opening bid. Looks like a good vise even without the leg. The exposed screw looks really good, but who knows what the rest of the screw looks like. Probably worth the chance, but you might do better locally instead of shipping it out of CA (unless you can local pickup) Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
