Update on my new vise and stand. It’s actually fairly stunning how much better this works than what I had sat up previously. Everything is really sturdy and the vise itself grabs the work way better than my other vise. I’m doing a little work with some chisel and punches and I’m resetting way less than before...one happy camper here! #javosironworks #vicestand #vise #legvise #anvil #blacksmith #blacksmithingtools #swageblock #tools #chisel #workshop #steel #smithy #hammer #handmade #madeinminnesota #fabrication #metal #metalworking (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bAk8ngQzj/?igshid=vu6raftqtrj0

Just finished up this vise stand I’ve been working on for the last few days. The base is made with some scrap 1.25” thick plate. The idea there is the more weight the better for the footing of the stand. I also designed it so my quench bucket fits on the backside of the stand. Again more weight the better. The vise is 5.25” wide jaws that align and close perfectly square together. This should be a nice setup for the shop once I figure out exactly where it’s final resting place will be. #javosironworks #vicestand #vise #vise #tools #blacksmith #workshop #anvil #hammer #handmade #welding #fabrication #shop #upgrade #blacksmithingtools #antique #vintage #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Vn7Y7gpVc/?igshid=2nvmzlahrnjc

I had some questions about the corner bead from my post yesterday. Thought I’d share a few shots of the tool and the results. The clip I’m working on here started as 1.25” x 3/16” bar so a little thicker material than yesterday but the same basic concept. #javosironworks #tools #cornerbead #blacksmith #forged #hammer #anvil #vise #vicestand #chisel #video #workshop #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00xevrgbMc/?igshid=smmair6uxjau
