#PhotoOfTheDay is a before-and-after of my current post vise. I bought it when it was “farm fresh” and then restored it to good working condition, including fabricating a new spring for it. This is my 2nd post vise and 2nd restoration.
As with my first post vise, this one is likely a hundred or more years old. They are really wonderful, important tools for blacksmithing.

That looks great. Also, TIL about post vices. Thanks.
@[email protected] Post vises are wonderful, very useful things, which is why they were so common back in ye olde days… They always catch my eye when I see one, like in a video game or a tv show. :)
My bench vise is one of the most useful tools in my workshop.
@[email protected] I use my bench (engineer) vise very often as well. In fact I just used it this morning! Extremely useful things…
They are of limited use for blacksmithing though. For that, you really want/need a post vise.
