Portable Quench Tub And Leg Vice Support

My wife's Great-Uncle was a smith many years ago. She was going through some of her things the other day and found a few of his old books. This was in one called The Anvil's Ring from June 1979. It seems like it would be a handy thing to have. Just wanted to share with everyone.

When I made mine, I put the tub on 4x4s and added a petcock drain on the bottom. I quickly found out I needed a screen over the petcock intake, so reporposed a small kitchen strainer.

 

The weight of the water is dandy for any force forward or backward, but the setup is much less stable side to side than a permanantly mounted vice. Still, it's a whole lot better than no portable vice at all!
