Awesome video Roy and Tomas. Thanks so very much. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
On the Uncle Bucks version, mount the vise as far out to the edge. Then add a tray on the large flat surface behind the vise to hold punches and such. I like your design too. Holds lots of tools.
Just a little food for thought Roy,we know what we're buying from Harbour freight. Try just lightly hitting them,then use a better center punch to make better digits, they will last a long time that way. All the best.
Way cool idea with the holders! PS. your trust in each other makes me think y'all might be sweet on eachother. In all seriousness though, I sure am jealous of that collection of post vises. I never see them come available around here. Impressive.
Next time you do that, try and fill the pipe with oil in addition to the sand... it doesn't freeze and it ads a bit of weight while filling in where the air would be
@@ChristCenteredIronworksexcellent job Roy. Hey Thomas. You're a great helper. Many tasks are so much easier with a second set of knowledgeable, workhardened hands. RR spike cross, jump welding thorns onto a rose stem, heavy bags of low sulfur smithing coal. ᕙ( ͡◉ ͜ ʖ ͡◉)ᕗ
hi Roy, i ordered one of the 66lb acciao anvils from Vevor in the uk, it had a surface defect in it, a few hairline cracks with a 3mm piece that had come out, i'm in the procces or getting another one as a replacement as its like it straight out the box, looks like its a poor casting thats the cause as the condition of the metal under the surface of the bit that came out is black and crusty, so my thoughts for you is, if you still have the one you did the destruction test on how about taking a grinder or other hard cutting method to see how far down the good stuff goes, on mine it was only a couple of mm down but that would be expected in a poor cast pocket other than that the anvil seems ok, has a piss poor cast pit in under the foot arch, i tested it for rockwell, looks like this one is between 55 and 60 ( steel painted blue) which might be a bit high. hopefully the next one is better, if not i'll probably give them a miss for a while if they got a run of poor castings of all the reviews i've seen they have all ben good surface wise
I noticed that you were using the transfer punch as a center punch. The transfer punch is just a marking tool, just like a scribe is a marking tool, so it should be used to mark the location of the hole and then a center punch should be used to center punch the hole. This makes your transfer punches last much longer even if they are Harbor freight tools.
Just bought some of your blanks for hooks, bowls, and keychains. They just showed up with a nice hand written note and something extra. Do you mind if I post your generosity on my channel? Would like to make a video because I’m very happy but don’t want anything possible bad to come out of posting and I try to ask when I value someone’s business or opinion. And I want to make the forging of them videos an assumed you wouldn’t mind but sense I’m here, you don’t mind do you?

Thanks! Will do!

Great advice Steve! You heard it folks from the creator himself 🙂 hope you are doing well brother
I like the new design you made. I’m going to order that one 😊
Thank you brother
good to see Thomes again.

That's good advice 💯 thank you for letting me know your thoughts

Might have to give that a try next time ☺️
It doesn't catch fire when you weld the top on?
God bless you!
@@michaelboyle1983 would need an air source for that.
I just built a coal forge out of scrap, except the blower.
great job, I need a post vice first. I like the circle holder
That would be a good start 😉
Your design
@@ChristCenteredIronworks LOL
Naughty! Welding on zinc plated nuts!
Should make one that combined both, Uncle buck's holes, with your concentric circles in the huge area in bucks middle that isn't being a usable space.
Thanks for the feedback bill

so my thoughts for you is, if you still have the one you did the destruction test on how about taking a grinder or other hard cutting method to see how far down the good stuff goes, on mine it was only a couple of mm down but that would be expected in a poor cast pocket
other than that the anvil seems ok, has a piss poor cast pit in under the foot arch, i tested it for rockwell, looks like this one is between 55 and 60 ( steel painted blue) which might be a bit high.
hopefully the next one is better, if not i'll probably give them a miss for a while if they got a run of poor castings
of all the reviews i've seen they have all ben good surface wise

Fun to watch, but why didn't you just plug weld the vise to the plate?
So it can be removed at a later date if so desired 🙂 thanks for taking the time to watch!
How would you go forging the tool rack out of bar stock no modern welding is it possible
Bend some bars in a Arc then rivet them all together would be My thought 🤔💭
I’m curious how stable that is when hammering on it?

Sure, we'd love for you to post a video. Thanks for asking! We appreciate your support. Make sure to tag us, we'd love to see your progress.
How stable is this stand on its base. I have a similar bit of tubing, but lacking the base plate. So
Very stable the base is about 175lbs
Right on, time to bust out the welder thanks!
Vice versus vise…….big difference between the 2. Other than that, very good video, as usual
Roy, turn down the speed of that drill! It will actually cut faster and wont burn out your bits! That was way too fast!
Thank you for the advice and watching
Trust exercise? Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding!
