New to me post vise I'm planning on setting up for a low striker. Has all the parts and the threads look good. Anyone have ideas on who the maker is? #javosironworks #postvise #vise #blacksmithingtools #tools #blacksmith #blacksmithing (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota)

I picked up a couple leg vises both were missing mounting bracket & spring. I had a extra bracket from a scrapped vise that was good for the smaller vise. The big vise weighs 140lb 7 inch jaws. The small one is 50lb 5 inch jaws. I forged to fit the old bracket to the smaller vise and forged a new spring. I love the short legs on both vises. #blacksmith #mustachepower #legvise #postvise #toolsofthetrade #vises #oldtools #blacksmithtools

I've had this small leg vise for a couple years I made the mounting bracket it was missing a couple years ago too. I finally forged a new spring for it & put it all together . #blacksmith #oldtools #repair #metalfab #postvise #vises #antiquetools

Blacksmith postvise restoration. I forged a new jaw rivet and new spring for this old vise that was brought to me by a friend. I've forged a few springs for these vises before but never have had to replace the rivet. In any case it's as good as new. #blacksmith #vise #postvise #maker #restoration #antiquetools #toolsofthetrade #vermont #riveting #rivet #repair

Tool hunting in Canada in and around Montreal. My wife @carreiesavagevt spotted a leg-vise and found a few small anvils or enclumes #enclume #anvil #montreal #canadatools #blacksmith #legvise #postvise #canada #antiques (at Montreal, Quebec)

I buried this beam in the ground a number of years ago . It's about 2 feet in the ground. Last winter the ground moved it off level. It's my main vise in the shop. I use it more than the rest of the vises I have . I think without having t dig out all the cement. I'm going to try to unbolt the vise & cut the beam, re-level it and weld it back together . It's funny in my shop the whole building it's self isn't level so it throw off your eyes when you see something straight and true near a wall. 😬 #ilovevermont #toolsofthetrade #anyideas ? #vise #legvise #postvise #blacksmith #anvil #blacksmithshop #metalfab

Got a chance to use my modified and updated post vise stand in the forge after dinner this evening. The new hammer and tong rack addition is just what the Dr. ordered! So much more utility! I did a quick document of the build last week and it went live on YouTube tonight as well. #postvise #hammerandtongs #hammerandtongrack #forge #blacksmith #blacksmithtools #riddleofsteel #smallyoutuber #fabrication #toolupdate (at West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUHWtnnr5Po/?utm_medium=tumblr

Added a long needed hammer and tongs rack to my post vise this morning while working on another welding project or two. Primed and painted with high-temp black stove paint. Put grease on the vise screw as well. #postvise #blacksmith #hammerandtongs #tongrack #hammerrack #riddleofsteel #fabrication #notawelder #forge #ludditelifeskills (at West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTsz2xSJbGR/?utm_medium=tumblr
