onetreeforge Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 This was in a garden and I got it cheap, I couldn't leave it, its got nice wide jaws and is not worn out, I have already made a spring, I can copy the mount from one of my other vices, I would like to find some Iron to forge it from so everything matches.

caotropheus Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Nice, I do not like to see perfectly serviceable tools used as ornaments. Nice the threads seem to be in good condition. I also "saved" a leg vice from a garden ... Did you get the fly wheel (used as a base) as well? We like pictures, so, show us the progress of your work.

onetreeforge Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 I got x2 of those flywheels, the drill press had one under it S a base to. Cleaned up the vice, was a super dirty job cleaning the threeds, at some stage soon I will forge a mount with the keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
