#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.

      @[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.
