Pr3ssure Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 So I've been thinking whether I should mount my post vise to my forges frame or if I should make a stand. This is an old picture but I'm thinking on one of the front legs welding a plate and support to mount the vise. When I move the forge back inside I can just remove the wedge and key and move them separately. That I think would be the easiest for making it a movable vise but it would be confined to my forge. Unless I also made a post mount of course. I guess my question is, is that a bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Your set up might not be ideal for anything other than a small machinists vice, but on forges with big tables postvices mounted to one end works great. With your 4 wheel set up and small table it will be aufly close to your fire and you will have to place a block under the vice. Now the last cavalry forge issued buy the US army acualy had a small machinests vise that sat on one corner and a small anvil on the other.
