Lionel h Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I've started a small collection of post vises ,and would like to know if there's a book on post vises similar to the Anvils In America Mr Postman has written. I would love to see a compilation of the known makers and pictures of the various types of post vises. If anyone knows of this book please let me know. Thanks for any info on this subject.

ThomasPowers Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Not one I have heard of; now there are some folks out there with a lot of knowledge about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I don't know of such a book. There is a good but brief discussion of leg vises on anvilfire. Use the pulldown menu to go to FAQs, then "V" for vises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel h Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Maybe we need a thread to show my post vises then we can compile and Id some of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 http://There's less ID info on the old vises than on old anvils, but if you want to send in photos, I'm sure you'll get some educated answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 One issue is that post vise parts can float around, I've seen a number of ones where the screw and screwbox and mounting plates were not original to the vise. Shoot I've mixed and matched to get a working vise before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
