Looks like it holdes it together when it flods up.]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:05:44 -0400 Sean OShea ...and now the 'Owes Dues' tag of shame has been removed... :)

- Thanks Ed!!]]> Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:39:19 -0500 hotFe2 dues until I sent above message and it let everyone know.
Just showing my dry humor!
The vise that I used was very similar and when you put some horsepower to it, it would tilt
and the legs off the ground would try to fold up. I just think that angle iron with brackets
would keep that from happening. Probably wouldn't add much more weight that the chain. Jerre's may not try to fold up at all. Ed Aaron]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:22:48 -0500 Kevin Daniell # jerre smith : Maybe

Maybe? :/]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:47:14 -0500 jguy
I just checked with Jerre. His weights in at 96 lbs (that's the stand and vise together) and is pretty stable. He said that there are small plates welded on as feet and when he needed a little bit more stabilty, he would step on one.]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:38:14 -0500 hotFe2 ago. I have only used one once. It is very heavy (if you are talking 'Portable')
and when I exerted some pressure, it seemed to try to collapse-no way to stand
on it to help stabalize it. My opinion is to use solid(something like angle iron)
pieces that would have a bolt or pin in a bracket that would give it some rigidity
instead of the chain..or holes to drive something like tent pegs through into the
ground(No good on concrete). Or,,,,, try something similar to what I made at welding
class(see articles(Shaky Ed Welding?. I used a very large wheel rim.Its also heavy
but with the vise detached it will roll easily. Ed Aaron]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:53:26 -0500 jerre smith Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:40:36 -0500 jguy
This is the kind of thing that I'd love to make for my own use!

Who knows, maybe we could get Jerre to help build one for the loaner tool kit.]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:29:40 -0500 John Myers Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:13:16 -0500 jguy Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:37:44 -0500 dan tull Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:53:25 -0500 jguy
