2" Receiver Post

Took a dovetail FPU vise with chunk broke out of the slide, cut everything off the swivel, and ended with with this. Not an orginal idea, someone else on here did the same thing.

The cyan (is more blue in real life) and yellow are powdercoat. This was the first thing I have ever powdercoated.

It is solid, turned out well.

NICE WORK, Let me make sure I understand what you did. You welded a receiver post to the swivel of a broken vise? I was going to use the receiver tube under my welding table to mount stuff, I like your idea a LOT more.

That is right. There is also a fixed receiver tube at a lower height.
