Need a Leg Vise | Want to Buy | Forum

Hey,Andy 

you could go to the workshop demo at Longveiw on the 28th of sept, and inspect a post vice up close and personal. Someone always brings a vice or two to the hammer in at the tail gate sales. This way you could find a nice post vice and attend a cool demonstration, while increasing your skill level and meet some new smiths.....just sayin.. 

Hey, Andy 

to bad you can't make it , I have two post vices for sale, I also saw 2for sale on craigs list just now , and Jerry Culberson probably has a good selection . The important thing is that you get one that fits your needs.So, what's your size and what's your budget?

Andy,

to mount a vice on a truck rim is a good plan . You don't need to big a vice for one that will be moved around and not bolted to the floor. Look for one with 4or5" jaws(in width) make sure the screw is in good shape by seeing that it is not to worn out (has square edges) and runs smoothly with some grease on it. Look around for one that is complete and it will go for anywhere from 50.00$ to 100.00  if the jaws meet square and it doesn't look to beat up and bent ....buy it!  Find a price of plate, and a piece of 3" pipe and a few welds later you will be grabin stuff ....good luck and keep us posted!
