The new central workbench in my shop is mostly complete. I've got tools piled on top of it to help the glue set. Today I spent some time mounting the post vise to the corner. As a reminder, a post vise is a type of vise used by blacksmiths. It has a leg to absorb the shock of hammering into the floor rather than the axle of the vise. I got the vise mounted and it appears to be rock solid. This will be the first time I've ever had a post vise mounted this way. In the past I've always had to make due with portable stands that rocked and really could not take that much twisting.
What I have still left to do...
- Attach a small stand at one end for the shears I got a few weeks ago.
- Attach heavy duty power strips to the sides of the table. Will give me 20 more outlets in the shop.
- Mount a smaller vise but that will be quick.
The shop is coming together and it will be great to get back to smithing.
