My Columbian was my Grandfather's too, Ted. I'll send you the pic, which also shows what it is mounted on, a massive sawhorse type support made of I-beams. I could hit something in thats vise with an 8 lb. sledge hammer and the vise would not budge.

My post vise in my little shop is mounted on a steel support I welded up, consisting of a steel plate on top of three legs of 2" galvanized pipe which go through the wood floor and into the ground under the shop, around which are poured several bags of Sakrete. It doesn't budge, either.

Stan I believe you have Tedward beat for the biggest badest vice award....

Unlike Tedward you have a use for something like that.

Hard to believe that a guy asked about about a gunsmith vise and it goes to this.

Only "resonance Ted has is between his gums when they are flapping...

Teds biggest detail work is taking out the trash.


What Ted needs is one of them exercise bikes in his shop so he can peddle while he looks and his do nothing vise.

When you know better than to shop at Lowes for tools, you can tackle projects like this:











Stahl T22 folder, rebuilt by me. Every bearing was pressed at my house in the vise. I didnt take pictures of how it was cribbed up to do that, because I was on the clock. Every bearing was in an aluminum boxing, and if you pressed with it cocked in a cheesy vise (like your Wards) you would break the boxing, and have to find a used one-they arent available from Stahl. Its OK for you to admit you wouldnt have any idea where to start, after all, you consider Lowes a tool store. Yes, that vise gets used for gun projects also, bike projects too. That is my point. The best vise allows you to do more, and do bigger and better work.

Ever built a wheel? Of course not. That takes talent:




That is a Sturmey Archer AM alloy hub. They were never available in a bicycle, you bought them over the counter. Just a handful made it to the US, it was considered a track hub.

The right vise lets you do more. I dont typically have a camera in the shop, might have to change that if itll shut you up, and keep you from posting nonsense about buying tools at Lowes.

I imagine you got the Snap On pliers at a garage sale.



Best,
Ted

((((Ted you know your pictures with the "camera" suck for detail...Try taking them with a cell phone. I take your ol'lady does let you own a cell phone....))))

Back to subject line.

Tedward....nothing you have shown yet has anything to do with gunsmithing or hand detail work.

So you pressed in a few bearings and fixed a tire on yer Dinosaur clunker bike.

WhOOpy dOOpy dO Ted....

You do know they make presses made for pressing bearings.

Ps...I love the wobbly looking work bench....I see why you mounted your vise on a pipe sticking out of the floor....

Goes to figure you'd be into Tuperware storage.

Nice

Big sale at Lowes.....

You need a vise for gun cleaning, and scrimshaw? Cause that is all you have posted crummy pictures of. What, you only have one arm?
Best be careful clamping on that Browning, the ribs let go just to be mean.


Best,
Ted

Wheel is in a 1949 Sports Tourist. You couldnt figure out the wheel was being built?



Better hurry on down to Lowes, playa, they got some tools you need.

Ps...stay away from photography forums because your photo quality sUcks.
