Vise stand with tong rack

[Sam Salvati]

Fabricated this stand up today, as I was using a friend's swedge block and stand for a post vise stand also, but he needs it back so I needed a new stand. My tong stand was getting pain-in-the-ass-ily clogged with too many tongs, got lots of room now. I wanted to put my new to me stick welder through it's paces, and practice stick too, man is it ugly welds but they are SOLID! this whole thing resonates like a wind chime when struck. Just need to fab up a little piece to hold the vise foot in place. Nice little bit of under storage too. Used 6011, which grizzly sells as "Rust Buster" (my kind of rod hehe) and it worked great.

Also here is an idea I had for a vise leg shock absorber:
