2ball_thepriest Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Does anyone know where to get a leg vise cheap. I've checked ebay and they are mostly $200+ Quote
Brasilikilt Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Hey I got my post vise off Ebay for around $20.00, it actually cost more to ship it from Arkansas to my house in Oregon! Its beaten up, and has some metal welded on to repair it, I´ve flailed on it a lot, and still works fine. I suspect you havent been watching ebay auctions very closely. If you check often, you will find some `lesser`vises out there which dont have a collector value, but are perfectly usable for a smith. Also check Craigslist...... If you cant find a post vise, you can still use a bench vise for a lot of things. Quote
ThomasPowers Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU IN? Or are you willing to buy a cheap vise and pay international shipping? I bought a 6" post vise for $50 last Quad-State Blacksmith's Round Up; if you are in driving distance of it I'd try there! Quote
fluidsteel Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I bought a Beautiful 6" Post vise from a scrap/salvage yard in Salem Or for $150. It was a fair price, not a steal. But, they had 5 more in the bin rusting away waiting for a home.... My first post vise! Quote
