if you got skills you can weld cast......it ain't easy and takes a lot of heat

Damn, I have never heard of that before.

I broke two hammers in about 15 minutes once, but that is still a long ways away from breaking a vise.

Nice work.

looks like you figured it out!

[Livingmylife93]

 

I know someone that works at sears.. He could probably "aquire" one for me  :grin_nod:

i don't know about a vise but my dad always told me i could tear up an avail(sp) with a rubber mallet.

It is very hard to weld. Like u said if u have alot of heat u can weld it. But after u weld it u need to put it in to an oven and slowly lower the temp untill u get it cooled off for the welds to hold good.

ahhh FERK that. just throw it into a tank of water and bolt it back to the bench. 




















but seriously he's right. it will need to be cooled off slow if you manage to weld it.

We wont be welding it, we are just gonna replace it.
