Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Nice edge9001 that pipe there would make a good container to hold oil if you cap the bottom. Good looking machine for all I know, not a machinist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clinton Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I am going to make a stand for my swage block and I saw a design that I liked on here the other day, where the guy used heavy blocks bolted together and made a vertical slot to stand the block on edge. So I got my brother to go with me down to the local lumber yard (yes we do still have one) and we found a large chunk of unwanted Doug fir nice and dried out. This thing measures 21 inches x 9 1/2 and is about 5 1/2 feet long. going to barrow a beam saw to cut into two pieces about 2 feet in length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you`ll really like how stable that wood is and the vibration damping qualities are excellent. The bed for my Conover lathe was made from that same type of wood(CVG 1/4 sawnDF) and it is a pleasure to work even large unbalanced pieces on. I`d save the remaining pieces for a dishing stump to do sheet work on if you don`t already have a use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 This is the stand I made for my swage block, it's made from guardrail posts. The top of the block is at the same height as my anvil face and when stood on it's edge on the step it's again at the right working height. It's simple and works reasonably well though I will be installing something to secure it on edge. As it is you have to keep an eye on it in use or the block can tip or walk off. Frosty the Lucky.

Nice stand for the swage block Frosty, but I want to know about that purty post vice. I mean, mine came painted green, but that is the first time I've seen anybody accent a post vice with gold paint.

Marksnagel Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 This is the stand I made for my swage block, it's made from guardrail posts. Nice stand there Jerry. Is there a curve on a cliff that we need to slow down on due to no guardrail? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hot 77 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I picked this up from scrounging around in my grand mother's garage. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, or what I can use it for. If you could weld(or bolt) the plate to something solid with open space underneath, it could be used as a hardie tool holder.And you can also twist and bend on this with the rite hardie tools.Just an idea!

ThomasPowers Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Great score! Are they visibly wrought iron? (I've run across a couple steel ones over time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquamanlr Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Frosty If that good looking post vice needs a home, from the lack of use, I would gladly send it shipping cost. Good looking block stand too. LeeRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junker Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 as far as i can tell they're wrought (visible splitting in some places and suprising lack of rust for being over 100yrs old) they're probably 30-40ibs apiece. about 4-5in wide and 1/2-2/3 in thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Keller Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I was at our local co-op, they are upgrading their checkouts with newer cabinetry, from the old spinning wheel style to the belt style. They were just hauling the old cabinets to the landfill, so I asked if I could take the motor before they hauled it away. It's a 1/3hp, 110/220V farm duty motor, the gearbox has a 60:1 ratio. Both Baldor brand and pretty heavy duty, I think the pair must weigh close to 40lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
