Unfortunately that's all I have of it. Had been used as part of a bbq for a few years, but it's rusted away, so will be reusing it for the same purpose. It's toughened glass, and the angle of the doors when I'm working keeps the glass out the firing line... To be fair I've already etched the windows from grinding sparks, so replacing a panel wouldn't be the end of the world or break the bank. Is that leg vise just standing in concrete? It doesn't look like it's attached to anything..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherViking Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I've a small metal pipe bolted into the concrete for the foot, and the vice is bolted on the underside of the bench. It was a temporary position for the vice last December until I got a better mount made, but I'm fresh out of round tuits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 To quote someone here on IFI (Frosty? ThomasPowers?), there's nothing half as permanent as a temporary solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherViking Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sounds about right! I'm sure the opposite would apply to a fair few situations too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
