It's seems funny, but with everybody being bored or their routine interrupted, my life hasn't really changed. I don't like leaving the farm and chores haven't stopped, so the beat goes on.

Ya ,so that's all you got done WTFOk with all the craziness going on right now work (money) has come to a stop so most all of my fun projects have been put on the back burner for a bit.
Shelter in place will kick a guys butt that doesn't watch TV so I'm going to start some projects out in the shop that doesn't require any money and try to ride this out in my happy place.
First up make a new post vise stand/welding table out of some scrap steel I've been tripping over.

Ha yeah,, I had two 5X10 sheets of scrap welded together, one is an inch thick and the other is three quarter.Ya ,so that's all you got done WTF
There's a ReasonWhat are you making?? Did I miss something?? Did you pre-heat before welding???
That would be a cool project truck but the Mack B model is the FJ40 of the older Mack’s. Way too easy to find parts for and popular for me to consider.here's something else to consider
Ha yeah just dealing with the 230’ish lb. top plate was a treat. When I built my other post vise/striking plate combo I thought I made it heavy enough (about 350#) and if you put something in the vise that needs bending and pull too hard it does move around the shop a little too much. I use it often enough just the way it is that made it hard to justify cutting it apart to make something more stable for heavier work, I also find myself clamping parts to the striking plate for welding and it’s super convenient but a little small and low to be ideal.I was worried about how you were going to move that beast around
Can’t wait to use it someday
This link will explain it better than I can, basically when a big hammer is your go to problem solver a post vise is invaluable.What's the skinny on the vice? It's interesting with the pivot(?) and such... I don't think I've ever seen one like that.
