I broke this vise a while back and forgot to take pictures when it was broken but I got it welded and painted but don’t have any pictures of it painted.

The Mikita blue looks good on it but I think Dewalt yellow would look better jk

Assume that is cast. What did you weld it with? Looks good.

You mean you dont like it when your beautiful weld makes that tink tink tink sound and cracks as it cools back down?

Nah I didn’t I though my welding teacher would say that but no. It seems really strong ,good penetration. Hows that boy and you going with wood working ?

I farm out any cast welding I need done. Good friend of mine works in a welding/fab shop, so it’s no big deal.
