AmosC Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 My 3 1/2" was $40 complete and 4 hours away-well worth it I thought and my 5" was about the same distance and missing the spring and mounting bracket for $35 and I think it was still well worth it! Go get it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well I'd like to see the screw better as *everything* on a postvise is fairly easily and cheaply reparable save for the screw and screwbox. Unfortunately most folks selling one never post the *1* picture most needed to evaluate the vise. Like most things *location* is important---why many of us put our general location in our profile. Don't know where *you* are at but that price is a decent price most places I've lived and I typically look for vises missing mounting parts as they drop the price and are so simple to make. Can you make a meandering trip to get it stopping at fleamarkets, junk stores, etc and loading up on rusty iron on the way? (I remember a fellow telling me "you can't buy these for less than XYZ" who was a bit nonplussed when I showed him the two I had picked up on the way over for about half of XYZ apiece...) Also does that seller have any other smithing tools? A hardy or hammer or two thrown in can really make that price *shine*! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjor_veidhinn Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sorry for not having my location showing I had added it to my profile but must not have saved it. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
