[@robertbooth7396]

In Japanese that vise stand would be called Gan-Jo (頑丈, がんじよう).

[@Stealth42]

Nice work,👍👌 Greetings from Belgium!

[@garykeenan3724]

Like the heaviness of this stand getting better welding is an art designed by the person welding up artwork!!!

[@Mexashop1]

Its all about practice right👍🏻

[@sneak6654]

That’s the most bad ass vise & stand I’ve ever seen and I really like how the finish turned out!

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you !that was my plan to make the biggest heaviest vise stand 👍🏻

[@Mexashop1]

[@mattw8692]

Man I wish I could get steel that cheap in AZ. Couple people selling scrap plate and stuff on craigslist here for .50 a lb.

[@Mexashop1]

Its really not this cheap to the public i only get the deals because my buddy that works there hooks it up👍🏻

[@teun7923]

Heating the metal before applying such a finish helps get the moisture out of the pores of the metal and let it burn in a little for better protection.

[@Mexashop1]

Thats right 👍🏻

[@timeflysintheshop]

Wow that is the definition of impressive! Have you made a video "tour" of your collection lately?

[@Mexashop1]

I will make one soon 👍🏻

[@ikagviz]

[@shelbyedward2506]

That came out freaking awesome. Nice beads bro

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! im starting to get better from all this practice😅 Cheers!

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Looks fantastic . Penetrol is good stuff . It's meant as a oil paint additive . helps paint flow out better etc. Sure looks great on that vise . Absolutely prevents rust . last a long long time . great job !!!!!!

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks for the info! Appreciate it 👍🏻

[@nickcarver1235]

Great show and tell esa

[@Mexashop1]

😅 Glad you enjoyed it Brother 🙌 Thank you👍🏻

[@austinwhiteside8486]

That finish looks really nice on the vise and stand . Stout set up right there.

[@mikeygee2465]

I was about to ask why you heated everything, then you answered at vehement end! Thanks. Enjoyed the video.

[@Mexashop1]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!🤛

[@stevesrt8]

Beautiful Job!

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! Cheers!👍🏻

[@veepsgarage]

Great stand build man! I used penetrol once before without heating a vise and I think it didn’t come out as nice as yours. I think heat helps it get a little darker too. Nice work!

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks bro yes heating it makes it darker i will be experimenting on different ways on applying it 👍🏻

[@rynohorn3819]

Cool man thanks for sharing this!

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate it👍🏻

[@hallsweldingservice]

Looks good.

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks 🙌 im happy with it👍🏻

[@wendigaro438]

Awesome!! Where are you sourcing your steel, thats a good price?

[@astrumdeus7098]

I'm jealous 😅

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks for the compliment 🤛 it could be better but was good practice 👍🏻

[@pukinpaja1974]

That is Very Nice!!! 🎅🏻👌🏻

[@Mexashop1]

Thanks it was a fun heavy project😅👍🏻

[@snappa222]

The Best !!!

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! came out better than expected 👍🏻

[@raysanguinetti7208]

I am soooo envious! I would not be able to leave that outdoors! Anyway, I am a new sub and would love to learn (step by step) how you tear down, refinish and lube old vises. Also most of us don’t know how to weld. What welder do you own and can you recommend it? Thanks in advance! Ray

[@Mexashop1]

I recommend the Lincoln mig welder with gas bottle i like the cheap stick welders to start as well, you just gotta put some time into it and you’ll get the hang of it👍🏻 good luck!

[@popachewy]

When will you be posting again? Awesome video 💪

[@Mexashop1]

Very soon! thanks ese! 🤛

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Wicked cool!

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! Cheers!🤛

[@uwould21]

Can i ask why u didnt just leave the axle attached when you bought it?

[@Mexashop1]

Good question! because you cant purchase train parts unless you are the goverment and the only way to buy them is as scrap metal so they had to cut it before i can take it out of the yard

[@garyjones2582]

I always wondered how heavy a train wheel is.. Did by any chance did you weigh it separately? Great video M.S... You need a custom tag for your truck " Viseman".. lol.. Reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer accidentally received the tags for his car that said, "Assman"... lol.. Have a great day Viseman...

[@Mexashop1]

🤣 Thats funny😅 I didn't weigh it but close to 700lbs

[@jimcrawford9767]

👍

[@Mexashop1]

🤛 ✌️

[@p52893]

Este bien vato.

[@Mexashop1]

Gracias compa 🤛

[@charliewood4158]

I need one bad I have a prentiss #58 chipping vise with 8 1/2 jaws close to 300 lbs and I really have a hard time using it until I get a good sturdy stand

[@Mexashop1]

Dang I’d like to see that man, send me a message on instagram 🙌

[@charliewood4158]

@@Mexashop1 I will get some pics in a couple of days I picked this up at a scrap yard 30 years ago for like 10 bucks and it looked brand new it came out of a rail road shop that shut down I was always going to sell it but now I think I am going to build a stand and give it to my grandson

[@Mexashop1]

That’s awesome I will make you a good offer just in case but please send me pictures on instagram or Facebook

[@ivanpalacios9316]

Where do you get the rail road track wheel??

[@Mexashop1]

I found them at a friend scrap yard for $20 each

[@best1yet]

God is Creative and so are we

[@Mexashop1]

Exactly brother 🙌👍🏻👍🏻

[@bklynpa]

Love the vid. I wonder Jesus, did you have a client you were custom making that for specifically, making for your shop, or making it and then looking to sell the setup?

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! I made this set up for myself always wanted a railroad stand 👍🏻

[@nemeceksandi3459]

Tell me what is the price of the set with the stand?

[@Mexashop1]

HOWS IT GOING BRTHER, IM KEEPING THIS STAND I REALLY LOVE HOW IT CAME OUT✌️

[@Blind_Reviews]

How well did it hold? I see you didn't really clean the scale off first.. so I'm curious did it ever come apart on you?

[@hardcoreveritas5648]

Yeah.......right after he clamped the D8 blade in the vise and set the dozer on the stand. That stand will be there 'til Jesus comes.

[@Mexashop1]

Its still holding up ok brother 👍🏻

[@emilianogonzales7664]

Hey where did you go to get steel that cheap ?

[@Mexashop1]

Well i do know the scrap metal guys very well been buying there for years 👍🏻

[@jmegown52302]

❤️👍

[@Mexashop1]

🙌

[@ThomasShue]

What you collect and sell vises?

[@Mexashop1]

I dont sell only collect 👍🏻

[@MrRocky559]

Do you work at the railroad or you know someone there

[@Mexashop1]

I have a buddy that works at this scrap yard that helps me find good material 👍🏻

[@motionsick]

Sick

[@Mexashop1]

🙌👍🏻

[@drumtwo4seven]

THE STAND WILL COME APART PREHEAT AND MULTIPASS WELDS IF YOU MIGGED A SINGLE PASS IT'S GOING TO FAIL IMAGINE GETTING YOUR LOWER EXTREMITIES CRUSHED BY ALL THAT WEIGHT

[@Mexashop1]

I will keep practicing, thank you for the tips 👍🏻

[@RickRose]

Never heard of a "railroad vise stand" before, so I looked it up. Yours looks just like the design shown here: tinyurl.com/y7bbu8pb Also, you said the vise itself is a "railroad vise." What do you mean by that? Thanks for sharing, and, of course, awesome job.

[@Mexashop1]

Thank you! The Hollands 18 vise was used in the Santa Fe rail yard it is a heavy chipping vise 8'' jaws

[@ThomasShue]

I’ll give you $200

[@Mexashop1]

🤣 Good one 👍🏻

[@teun7923]

That is some cheap metal

[@Mexashop1]

I just lucky 👍🏻
