George Geist Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 To best of anybody's knowledge, is anybody out there manufacturing new blacksmith post leg vises? George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I believe I’ve seen Kanca post vises for sale, and Vaughns formally known as brooks sales post vises as well as anvils swage blocks ect.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That’s Vaughns anvils in the UK not to be confused with Vaughn hammers in the US, I just checked there website, they still sale post vises, interestingly enough they carry a lot more metal working stuff then I realized, One thing I thought was cool, is they still make those old school cast stands for swage blocks, anyways sorry for rambling, if your looking for a new post vise in the US, i just saw the kancas on centaur forge, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Kanca anvils are very pricy. I suggest that you look around for a second-hand vise. in my personal experience post vise anvils are not that rare. Just sayyin, SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Centaur Forge and Blacksmith's Depot both carry new post vises, expensive (IMO) though. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I totally agree with y’all! used is definitely the way to go! $50 bucks USD, a wire wheel and some grease and your all set! but since Mr Geist, specifically asked about were a body could find a new Post vise I thought It was informative to let people know that they are still being made and where they are available new, if someone chooses to go that route Personally, I love it when someone at an antique store argues with me an says something isn’t being anymore… and I can list to them the 10 modern companies selling the same item new lol!
