I flippin love it!

With the thousands of posts on welding and metal fab sites on how to make a ring roller nobody has yet come up with this simple adaptation of a bench vise.

Oh wait, this comes from the period before thinking was antiamerican.

How about a "Show-and Tell" on what it does, and how it works????

You want to wait till I find a vise I can repurpose, or you want me to try splainin it with words?

It's a cheap and dirty ring roller for both flat and round stock, definitely not good for more than 3/8 round or 1 x 3/16 flat by my eyeball and the throw of the crank in my opinion, but pretty dang handy for a home workshop.
