Being a retired STATE CERTIFIED WELDER ( retired ) I would like to complement you on your skill and craftsmanship. I have been a blacksmith for over 40 yrs and this is one of the best stands I have had the pleasure of looking at. You mentioned that moving was a issue . This is some advice you might want to consider ,Get yourself some old steel wheels ( casters) and mount them on each corner so this stand can be moved easily . Make some " L " slots on each corner so the casters can be slid in and held in place with a pin. Once in place, remove the pin and pull the casters out of the slots. Now the stand is back to the build height. Be sure ( 2 ) casters are swivel or use ( 4 ) swivels on all four corners. I hope this helps . You did a very nice job!! Keep up the good work. Sincerely ,DUKE

Thanks Duke! In my shop, the jib crane lifted it no problem. In the garage, I lifted it with a tractor straight down to the ground and towed it into place on cardboard to prevent scratching the concrete. Castors is a great idea! I will keep an eye out for some vintage ones. Moving it closer to the door for grinding or smokey work would be ideal!

That's what we call craftsmanship. Its very appealing to the eye, raw finish was definitely a good call. Slick idea with the fixture plate, and countersinks! With or without the vise, it'd be a sweet addition to any garage.

Thanks for the comment! The 1/2” countersink bolts were on the shelf for ages. Finally found a perfect use.
