[TheForge] portable stand for a post vise

[Jerry Frost]

A portable vise stand I made some years ago was a 55gl. 
drum with attachment points. It was really easy to move 
when empty but seriously solid when full of water. The 
snap ring lid made a decent extra bit of bench space 
and the drum of water made the fire marshal happier. 
You don't run out of quenchant either.

The vise was mounted on sq. tubing so I could mount or 
dismount it from the drum quickly and easily. The vise 
and other stuff traveled inside the drum.

It was a good demo set up and you could use a wooden 
barrel if you wanted it to look better.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
