Vise RESTORATION & Custom Stand Build ~ Creating an AMAZING Blacksmith Vise Stand / Work Station!

- This is like getting 3 videos in one! You'll see the restoration of 2 Leg or Post Vises, and then a Custom Built Stand / Metalworking Work Station that was constructed only using salvaged metal!!
Blacksmiths need a vise that can be hammered on without easily breaking! That's the reason the Post Vise or Leg Vice was invented. The long leg or post extends down to the ground for the purpose of transferring a great deal of the energy from hammer blows into the ground, and not into the vise or bench it's mounted on.
Post vices are also made of forged steel not cast iron, and that makes them significantly stronger and easier to repair if needed! This makes post vises a VERY versatile tool for shops of all kinds, even though they are largely used by blacksmiths!
The majority of bench vises are cast iron or cast steel and are NOT designed to be hammered on like you can on a post vise. If you want to see what can happen if you hammer on a bench vise, check out my broken vise restoration video here on the channel!
The shorter Post Vice was found in a warehouse buried under a workbench covered in scrap metal, and the smallest part of it was peeking out at me, and I KNEW WHAT IT WAS!! It looks like someone welded the leg to steel plate or something at some point in its life, and when they removed it, they just cut off the leg. It was also missing the spring and mounting hardware, and I had to fabricate those to get the vise ready for use!
I found the red Leg Vise at a garage sale, and other than it being all rusty was in pretty good shape. The screw in it looks almost perfect with hardly ANY wear on it! It also came with the full leg and all the hardware needed to mount and use the vise just as I got it!
So today the plan is to restore both vise back to working order & build them a PROPER stand so they can be put right back to work here at Salvage Workshop!
As ALWAYS, when I build something, I always OVERBUILD it!
For those that don't know, our friends across the pond, spell it Vice!

What are YOUR thoughts on Restoration / Build videos like this one? Do you like them? Do you hate them? Would you prefer they were separate videos? As ALWAYS, Thank you for watching & commenting! It means a lot!
Loved it! Keep up the good work!
Always interesting watching you bring back things to better than new.
Love it as it is!
Don't change a thing.
Salvage Workshop I enjoyed this video very much. All jobs take the time they take, and if anybody gets board seeing you and your thought processes then maybe they should watch something else. For the rest of us just keep on doing what you are doing. You are very talented at what you do..........Longford Mills, Canada
I love to see what you do with what most people would sell to the scrap dealers. I do admire your skills.
Your restoration on any of your projects are GREAT 👍. Thanks for bringing old tools back to life for a new generation to learn how to use.
That's the goal! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Lots more to come!
My eleven year old son and I just spent a good half hour watching metal work, restoration, 'good dogs' and puppies. The day has already been great, and it isn't even 9 AM in Minnesota. Thanks for giving us a great start to the day!
You are most welcome Brian! I am glad you both enjoyed the video! Who doesn't love puppies?!?
Great restoration! You never cease to amaze me with your patience and preservation of a bygone era. Please keep em coming.
Best Regards

Your organization, and knowledge is amazing.The production is such that you are able to convey your own character through the focus on cleanliness, safety, and love of your dogs.
I also share your love of "good' old tools. This is the first time I ever subscribed to a you tube video.
Most impressive. It is apparent that you really love your work. So do I love your work. Thanks.
That kind sir is not a tool. It is a piece of art. Great video.
Hi SW. Another great restoration project. You took what most folks would just throw away, and created a beautiful, functioning tool. Your puppies are cute as all get out and learning to sit - good job. Regards, Dave
Thank you Dave! Making, restoring, & creating things from what others wouldn't touch is at the core of Salvage Workshop! I am glad you enjoyed the video!!
You spent a lot of time and care on this project and it will pay you back for the rest of your life and beyond
Dude, you need to find yourself a sandblaster with all the resto’s you do. Luv your vids. Nice to see new life in someone else’s junk. 👍
Your pups are just superb.
Thank you my friend!
That thing is drop dead gorgeous. Great work!
Thank you!! It turned out pretty nice! Can't wait to put it to work!
That would make a great stand for most any piece of equipment in a welding or machine shop. Nice job!
Thank you Jim! I agree completely!!
Excellent restoration of the vises and fabrication of the stand. Fantasy blacksmith shop.
Art and function,excellent original work. A joy to watch.
Love these videos! Your innovation, tool and stock organization and creativity are top notch. No music, no talking, no begging to subscribe.
That is awesome. It's great to see a really useful good workshop tool built from scraps and restoration work. I feel inspired now, thanks!
Many people discount scrap materials, but NOT me!! Plus it's WAY cheaper to use scraps and salvaged materials! Thanks for watching & commenting Joshua, I appreciate it!
Awesome build! I love old tools,
Creative Design and vision. AWESOME !

Just amazing 👏
Much appreciated!
Very nice job, well thought and well done. Congratulations from France.
At 1st I thought that you were going to cannibalize one to make the other great. Really fine workmanship though out.
I really appreciate that you shared how your break included your dogs. Plus the all important cracking of a beer at the end of the job.
Be well, Tom.
as always outstanding work.
Thank you Jake!
