J W Bennett Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Awhile back I bought a Canady Otto #0 post vise off of rthibeau. I mounted it on a 4x4x1/8 wall piece of tubing welded to a semi brake drum to make it portable.I have used it at several demos. It catches peoples eyes. The other day at a flea market I picked up a Cole #7 manual drill that is for drilling large holes in about any position. I got it for 5 dollars because the guy thought it was missing some parts but it's all there. I mounted it to the opposite side of the post and then on the left hand side I added a mount for 2 old hand grinders I had squirreled away under the bench. Made a real nice manual drill/grinder stand. Just don't let it get over center when you move it!!! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keykeeper Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Very Cool idea, JWB. I was trying to figure a good way to mount my post drill using something similar to this. I was going to use heavy 2" black pipe and weld on a plate near the top, with holes to mount the drill. Now I have a visual to help with my design. All my tools have to be mobile, so I can move them around my limited-space shop. Thanks for the neat setup pics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
