[TheForge] Less tongue more vice

[xlch58 at swbell.net]

Yeah, I have started mounting everything I have on tripods for demos, 
since it rocks otherwise.  But don't make the mistake I did on my post 
vice and put the legs on the wrong size.  I cadded mine up first, welded 
it up to plan and then watched it fall forward when done.   The downside 
to working stuff out in cad instead of cut and weld, is sometimes you 
forget things like where the balance point is.   I added a set of legs 
in front and it works ok now.  It also has a foot powered grinder on the 
back of it with a wire wheel and a rock on it.  Works great.   I will 
take a photo and post it on the photosite if anyone wants to see it.
