Post Vise Guillotine Tool and more

[@flatlinesup]

Post vise guillotine is brilliant Glen. It looks super strong and sturdy. Really like the way you design, think, share and experiment. You're my favorite blacksmithing video channel Thank you sir for the vids and your time

[@gstongs]

I'm very honored to be your favorite. I think this vise guillotine tool will be very useful. Big thanks.

[@gregturcotte8778]

It's nice to see the mind in motion. Thanks for the insight into making these tools, Glen.

[@gstongs]

Sometimes the simplest solution is best. Nothing fancy with this one but it really works for me. Thanks Greg.

[@BigWillSD]

Great idea and design with the vice Gulatine tool. When they available, ill take one. Love supporting tubers and small businesses over big corp.

[@gstongs]

This tool is proving to be very useful for me. If you would like one, email me and I'll do my best on price, etc. Thanks Will.

Always busy. Never bored. ...Grandpa's advice.

[@gstongs]

Grandpa is smart. Thanks.

[@laverncarroll]

Simple is the best. I really enjoy watching your work.

[@gstongs]

My brain functions best on the simple / rudimentary level. Too many moving parts on tools like this and smoke comes out of my ears! Thanks.

[@TheOldaz1]

Nice work as usual, continuous improvement comes to mind. Thanks Glen.

[@railfan439]

Glen: If you alter the base of that post vise guillotine to a square, it would fit the Hardy hole in your anvil in two directions. Thanks for the videos. Jon

[@gstongs]

That's certainly one option. But I want to keep this as a "one size fits all" tool. Those interested in an anvil hardy guillotine can look at my other one. Thanks for watching and sharing.

Gilloteen tools are a necessity in my shed, I have 2 that use the same dies but set up to use differently. Loose is better, one of mine can be a bit tight and jams when scale gets in the gap making quick, easy die changes a pain! The post vice option is also something I do often, depends on the project and what works easiest!

[@gstongs]

I like a good, relatively snug fit but I have to agree with you that in some instances, loose is better. I have several guillotine tools and my loosest is my go to one. A little die movement is not a bad thing. Thanks for continuing to watch and share.

I like the post vice guillotine - Is milling the channel in each of the risers something you have to outsource? More importantly- possibly the BEST Chinese proverb ever there. Such wisdom... 😎 Thanks as always!

[@gstongs]

Yes, I outsource the milling of the channels and other stuff. I also outsource the welding. These are things I could do but I don't have the space or equipment and find it much easier here to give this work to others and concentrate on hot forging my tongs, etc. Thanks Marc.

[@geraldtrice4894]

If you weld a finished length tubing to the support structure then cut out the center section with a cut off disk on a angle grinder, the alignment issue is resolved.

[@gstongs]

I actually did this style you mention a long while back. But that tubing size (which fits the dies just right) was too thin and susceptible to deforming. But if I found the right tubing, that would be an option for sure. Thanks.

[@gilauth6791]

Nice work

[@gstongs]

Thanks Gil. I'll do my best to try to keep videos interesting.

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Nice design Glen.cool👍👍🔥🔥

[@gstongs]

I'm definitely pleased with this. But I'd like to change the name as "guillotine" doesn't sound right. We'll see... Thanks.

[@darioferreiroforjatradicional]

good tool

[@gstongs]

So far, this vise guillotine tool is working well for me. Thanks for watching.

[@im4dabirds]

great idea

[@shnepper]

Great work!

[@PrimitiveFusion]

Cool! Nice Glen

[@gstongs]

The milled channel guides really simplify this and it's working well. Thanks.

[@GibsonCutlery]

Very nice!

[@gstongs]

Thanks Paul. I'm enjoying this vise style guillotine tool for sure. More to come...

[@mattthescreamer177]

I need one of these

[@gstongs]

I'm pleased with how this tool is working. If interested in getting one, email me. Thanks for watching.

[@rogerwardle8889]

Love the guillotine would lile to buy in uk , seems hard though

[@gstongs]

Shipping to the UK was suspended for quite a while but I will check early next week as I have other UK customers waiting. If interested, email me. Thanks for watching.

[@Олег-з9я7л]

👍

[@joell439]

Very interesting 👍😎👍

[@gstongs]

This is one of those tools where it works well on the first go. I usually need three or four versions to be satisfied. Thanks.

[@patrickd9551]

I get you want to steer away from milled due to costs, but there is a third option, welding the tube and cutting them into appropriate sizes. Should be comparable in time investment, but much higher accuracy to your current methods. Jeremy Schmidt uses this method for his grinder. here's a link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5C1nX9nhJKVgZY

[@gstongs]

Thanks for sharing that info. and link. I'm looking into different options but the milled guides are hard to beat. But so far, the pipe guides are very promising and this vise guillotine is proving to be a real winner. Much appreciated.

[@alanroberts703]

How much would that be to send to Aussie with a 7/8 hardy hole sized thanks

[@gstongs]

Hi, the shipping would be $35 via airmail. The point of this tool is to avoid using an anvil hardy shank (use with vise). But I suppose I could have a shank welded on. Or, you might just look into my standard anvil hardy hole guillotine tool which is $110 plus the same shipping, $35. Email me if interested. Thanks.

[@Handelson]

Is this available yet? I looked on your website but did not see it..thanks

[@gstongs]

Hi and yes, I am selling my vise guillotine tool but have yet to list it on my website. If interested, email me: [e-mail] Thanks.

[@jeremiahmccutcheon3234]

[@gstongs]

Thanks, I think...

[@im4dabirds]

[@irishtrash5793]

Hey man, donyou ship to Canada?

[@gstongs]

Yes and the shipping via airmail for this tool would be $35. If interested, email me. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Ali.

Thanks.

[@brysonalden5414]

Another novel solution! Assume when it goes to market it will be sized for metric dies? Problematic for those of us who make our own specialized dies but don't have ready access to steel that's sized the way most of the world does it.

[@gstongs]

I can get steel in metric and imperial sizes but metric is more common. For anyone who wants one of these but wants to make custom dies, I can always sell die blanks that are cut to size. Thanks Bryson.
