[TheForge] portable stand for a post vise

[Hufford, David]

Frosty:
Any chance you have a drawing or photo of your vise mounting system on the drum?  Or could you elaborate on the use of square tubing for the quick mount/dismount of the vise.

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.

Wrought iron is.
