Donniev Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Been meaning to get to this for a while now, couldn't sleep last night so I went to the shop and welded this up. 6" jaws, probably pushing 200 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuEulear Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Nice work looks like she should be rock solid once you bolt it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yup, without bolting it looks like it would tip forward fairly easily and bending stock forward is a pretty often thing with my vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaudry Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Time and some work will tell if it's stable enough for your use. I suspect it will need to be bolted down tight to the floor and maybe into a wall or post to get full use out of that vise. Having a table where you can put your tools close by handy . It looks like a nice vise. Columbian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donniev Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 There's 3 holes in each leg for it to be bolted down, and 3 more in the center base. Definitely couldn't use it unless it's bolted down, right now it's sitting in my storage unit. Just getting to some stuff I've put off done now, had to sell my house recently, but that just means I have some time now to look to the future and "gear up" for when I buy again next year. Propane forge is next, just have to go buy a few things and I'll finally resume my frosty NARB build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
