If a growing our own does work out, I can always turn it into a mobile workbench.

GENERAL TOOL AND MACHINE DISCUSSION / Re: Vise Stand - Options??
« Last post by highland512 on May 18, 2024, 08:26:08 AM »Heck yeah, take the deals when you find them.Bring your cash reserves, I swear good vices and anvils seem priceless anymore. Went to an estate sale last weekend, 100lb anvil bring $450 and a 60's craftsman vice brings $175. There is a sale coming with a 500lb anvil, something tells me it won't go as high as the 100 pounder.
Well, Apparently I have a horseshoe shoved somewhere... I came across a last minute Online auction about 65 miles from me.... Scored a Morgan Chicago fixed base vise for $40 (plus the gas to go get it and a couple other things like another storage cabinet) Picking it up tomorrow as apparently the guy has to be out of the property by the end of the month.... He seems to have collected stuff from various auctions as he works as a regional rep. for the online auction house.
I would be in trouble if I worked for an auction service, I would have a mountain of stuff and no money. I never seem to have luck with the online auction services though.

Yep, both sides do it and you see how much changes
I am sick of the us verses them in politics as it brings us no good or change

MACHINE SHOP / Cold bluing
« Last post by Uncle Buck on May 17, 2024, 11:51:02 PM »While not as durable as hot bluing, after trying it on a couple of cheaply aquired, but old USA made 4" machinist parallel clamps, I am sold! I took great care prepping the clamps prior to bluing them and was rewarded with clamps that are beautiful and now look like new!
Count me a convert. I plan to do a lot more of that in the future.
