ablenumbersix Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 This vise only has half a maker's mark. Does anyone recognize it? I don't have a picture of the vise put together right now, but it's a wagon tongue vise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 It's too bad someone ground off a portion of the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablenumbersix Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 You're telling me. I wish I could find an approximate draw for it. I'll post a Pic of the full vise tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablenumbersix Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I haven't decided how I'm going to mount it. If anyone has any good setups for this style of vise I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris C Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Me, I'd just use those two bolts to attach it to a steel block and plate arrangement and bolt it to a rigid table. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Make a wagon tongue sticking out from the end of a sturdy bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablenumbersix Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) It's really too bad. I just got rid of my wagon tongue collection. I think I will use the bolts like Chris the Curious Said. https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/54645-using-the-name-on-the-forum/ Edited September 5, 2019 by Mod30 remove @ tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I saw one where the fellow removed the rear mount entirely, and basically bolted an angle iron section to it and used that to bolt it to a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I would fip the section that goes around the wagon tongue so it still attached but pointing down and build a typical post cise mount for it. Perhaps with a support that engaged the bottom of the vise for greater strength. I have a couple of the small vises that look like the top of a post vise but were used on benches; and without a leg on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
