Peppie Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Had this vise mounted on my bench. I have since repurposed the bench to hold my forge. The vise needed a new home. This is what I came up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 That's a nifty stand. Are you going to bolt it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I'd suggest that you rotate the vise&support 180 degrees so you are standing on the plate when using the vise---MUCH more stable. (assuming that's a metal plate it's on and not a concrete column...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppie Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 The stand is sitting on a concrete pad. I will be anchoring it to the slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 OK that works. Today I was using my "solidly affixed" postvise to hold some 3" x 1/2" wagon tyre while I was cutting it by hand with my 20" blade hacksaw. It's amazing how much better a rigid setup is in use! (Which is why I have a postvise mounted to one of the telephone poles holding up the carport at my rental down here. The portable postvise is to aggravating to use for larger jobs...)

Peppie Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Have been a woodworker for years. Having your work secured makes for higher quality work. You can focus on what you are doing, instead of having to adjust to what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
