    The "wing" is called a key, and the punched orifice it nests into is called a "keyway". Just FYI.

    the best description and explanation I've found for a leg/post vise. every Blacksmith I've seen has several, I knew I needed one, but never really knew what was so special about em. now I know, and now I need several. thanks man.

    Nice explanation! Those vises are such a state-of-the-art designs. Beauty of craftsmanship and functionality.

    Thanks very much mate. You just taught me what a leg vice is and how it differs from a normal bench vice. I had no idea.
    Cheers 👍

    Leg vises work a lot better if you mount them more securely. I notice that when you crank that thing down it moves quite a bit. My own leg vise is set into 500 lbs. of concrete so that it doesn't move at all, no matter how hard you crank on or hit it.

    • @PaulKrzysz
      @PaulKrzysz  Před 9 lety +2

      I agree. As with anvil, vises need to be securely mounted. I will be moving into a industrial unit soon, once in there everything will be bolted to the concrete.

    • @beammeupscotty1955
      @beammeupscotty1955 Před 9 lety

      Paul Krzysz There ya go. I don't think I can get more that 1/32" deflection on my vise, even if I push as hard as I can. It really makes a big difference.

    i seen one , 2 or 3 weeks ago in a video from the post apocalyptic inventor, and strange enough, i found one that belonged to my grand father in my now mom's grande a few days after, but i tough 'ah i got my machinist vise anyway' ok man you convinced me i'll go get it and clean it up! my grand father was blacksmith too, he specialise in horse shoe making, i have a ton of tools there i could take, seems like something fun to do, and i'm a welder so that goes hand in hand with it

      Its difficult depending on the area dont go to CL or EBay collectors on there drive the price up way to fucking high have a look around the junkyards and flea markets places where people need to move things quickly and dont sot on them for years trying to get a bunch of money for them

    @ltgood Před 3 lety

    While pricing work at a house, we went to the basement where the HVAC work was to be done. We walk in and I instantly exclaim what on earth is that? A rusty old pole vice I was told and then the owner said it was for sale. His son told him to be quiet. I was awarded the work and returning asked if the vice was for sale. A deal was done and I brought the vice home.and dismantles it. I wire wheeled the entire beautiful thing until it was black steel again. Now the only vice I use. I have been hitting it with a hammer, because I can.
