Combination Bench vise and Pipe vise stand

[woodgate]

Is it a good idea to make one stand that has both a bench vise and a pipe vise built into it? I have both and I was wondering if there's a good design like that, or if there's a reason not too many people do that.

Here's my take on that. A semi-stationary stand that was once part of a receiver hitch. I've bolted a vise, pipe vise, Beverly shears, and a stand that turns my portaband into a fixed band saw to individual pieces of square tubing that slide into this stand.

The vise I got is some old china thing but love it. Has pipe jaws in it and is a rotator. The benches themselves are cobbled junk but location location location and the second one has the vise, bolted to floor.

Some of these pics are really old, the chop saw sitting there is long gone.

CSP, great idea, well thought out and simple.

I also like the fact that the sq tubing is welded to a plate that is bolted to the drum and not welded to it.




I've considered building one (talked to a friend about it) with a vise that could be moved outside for dirty or hot work.

I've posted this before but thought the topic warrented another view. I made the uprights from 5" channel iron welded back to back and the top is two pieces of 1/2" x 4" angle iron with a piece of 1/2" x 2" flat bar welded in between. The base is a heavy school bus wheel.

That's just what i wanted! Lots of good ideas all around!

I like that. But that's a brake drum, not wheel.

Look at the old trunks in the background. Neat stuff.
