I'm praying for you Ted !

Ya there is that lol,actually I will be forging out a square headed nut and bolt as soon as time permits.

I think it took me about 15 minutes total to make the spring and the ffg orge was already hot,the spring dosent need to be spring steel but the way.

A post vice /leg vise was and is a standard in a forge,the vise is designed so that any downward force such as striking somthing in the vise is directed down the leg and to the floor. They also open and close rapidly compared to a machinist vice.Your not supposed to beat on a machinist...

A few weeks ago I walked into a junk /antique store and found a broken post vice in the corner under some broken chain and other rusty old junk.Its leg was broken and missing, its spring was missing as well as the clip and wedge that holds the vice to the mount. The rest of the vice was in...

You bet it will Ed, I need to get a set of ER 40 collects and a collet chuck and also a ball Turner for it .

I'm sure you could retrofit it and put one on it,its sure a nice feature to be able to change tools without having to shim thg them or indicate center every time.

I'm planning on making decorative nuts ,but beyond that there are a bunch of projects to do that this will come in handy for especially on the homestead.
