The complication is offset by simplifying the design of a sturdy and yet portable vice. Option #2 is of course to use gravity clamps but that reduces portability without the further complication of wheels etc.
If you were to ask me what the fundamental property of a vice is while you're sawing...
You might want to include a small platform to stand on. If that is firmly connected to the legs, the vice cannot possibly move when you push and pull on anything. I made one that folds up the only slight issue being you really want a thin sheet of something to stand on or it becomes a trip hazard.
Well you're in the right place to find the help you need (not from me!). While many if not all of the professional welders on here (again, not me!) will be more than happy to help, you will discover there is a LOT of quite detailed information needed. Grade of metals, thickness, type of rod...
It's a pun. Under normal circumstances the odd typo/miss-spelling is of no consequence. In a welding forum in particular though, you don't want to confuse arc welding with Noah's Ark.
It's a fire hazard...
FWIW I did this too with my plastic welding rods for the Leicester thing I bought centuries ago. Had they not been stored in sealed pipes all these years, they'd certainly be useless by now.
3D printing is the perfect complement to a lot of these off the shelf cheap plastic plumbing bits and...
Might not seem like it (!) but you’re in the right place. This spat will blow over and there are plenty here who will be able to help. Pictures are key so as soon as you are able, get some pics of the problem up and I guarantee, you will find the information you need.

Yes, the plus side is that since it's just sitting inside a simple to use 3d program, I can tack on any bit's and bobs, mounting points, bracketry etc at my whim. The addition of a simple differential drive gear would make it an ideal candidate for a cheap and accurate welding positioner. Like I...
Unsurprisingly, it works. The only real surprise for me is that it (sort of works) so well despite this being the first iteration of basically a seat of the pants guess for dimensions off a YouTube video.
I can stand on the thing (with an intervening wooden board) and spin on it. So it will...
Wow! Gotta be happy with that!
Only 20 bearings out of the 38 needed because that would take me deep into the morning before I'd find out. I will sleep well knowing it actually works. Amazingly smooth and tight with only half the required bearings though i did shuffle them around to make sure...
I have no doubt whatsoever that is entirely appropriate and with careful loading/strapping/unloading, a perfectly robust and secure method.
How much would that cost to do now? Presumably the seller or buyer would have to hire a lorry/flatbed. I guess that would involve at least double the...
If you can't easily whip off those four units to package separately, I'd be seriously tempted to lie it on its back and crate it up.
There's no way you could ship that stood up without it falling over at least once!
Unless of course you increase the size of the footprint to about the size it...
Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. They are new/unused which is a bit of a bonus. I am told they are treated but I suspect you may be right and they're the cheapest of the cheap. Never mind, it's typically the cost of delivery which puts these things out of my budget zone (for impulse...
Saw something like this on some crazy boffins robotics website and decided I want one. This version is 200mm diameter so a decent 8 inch high strength, low slop bearing. Currently destined to become a sort of lazy Susan but it is massively over engineered for the task (unless I need to stand on...
Scaffold got taken down today, also next door. After my own version of watergate with the last crew, I pinged the gaffa and asked if I might buy a handful of rather nice looking boards. Fifty quid later:
Almost a shame they're so clean but at 13'/4m they will come in handy for a multitude of...
