Continuation from post 9017.
The top has a selection of holes to fit various vices, furthest apart are 5".
What I hadn't noticed when I viewed it was this round thing held on with a wing nut.
Which when removed was a tapered cast iron cone. It also revealed 3 roundish slots.
In the same auction I bought these as a separate lot. 6 legs also labelled Record/Marples.
In a moment of inspiration I put them together & ended up with this.
I've now got a very stable vice stand (plus 3 spare legs). Top is a bit small for a large vice but I can add a steel plate to make it bigger.
Also quite easy to take the legs off & make it portable!
Can't find any info online about a TS5 so maybe it wasn't a big seller.

Are the legs solid or hollow tubing ?

That might be intended for a Pipe Vice

Not mine; it was in one of the buildings at the Museum of the Junkyard Poet: see this thread - https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/junkyard-poet.139596/

Today I found a leinen vice that had been chucked in my scrap bin and was sent a picture of the vice I made on a nice stand

Looks like its mounted over a train wheel ? The extended mounting plate acts nicely as counter balance too.

I take it this is only propped up? There seems to be parts missing, spring and clamp?

It's in one of the funky shaped buildings in the Junkyard Poet place. I don't think it's intended to be used, just for decoration. There is a workshop on site, but they don't let visitors in there (I did grab a couple of photos through the window but the photo quality wasn't great)

Picked up this at the carboot sale, not exactly a high quality heavy duty vice, but it's fun. I know I have seen pics of these before, but didn't recall if any one identified then, only mark is a D in the decorative diamond. It's missing the pad from the table clamp, oh well

Best of luck, bit it would be like finding a Polar Bear in the middle of a Desert to acquire one, but then, someone will win the lottery.

You want deep pockets for one of them, there is at least one in the UK though.....
