This project started with a need for a vise mounting plate, so I started with a worn-out grader blade and ended with a precise, functional mounting plate. In this video, we machine it step-by-step—from rusty to finish. In the process, I run up against the limitations of my milling machine and drive a couple hours to get the job done.
If you like shop builds, fabrication projects, and making useful parts from unexpected materials, this one’s for you.
