How many vises do you use?

[Patrice Lemée]

Realized yesterday that as with all other tools, I love tool vises. I currently use 9 in my shop. And I have a few other lying around waiting for me to find a spot for them. The thing is I do this as a hobby and I have a small shop. Do you think I should seek help?

Yes, you are different! No, you don't need help or need to seek it...you are a dang knife freak, just like the rest of us! If your freaky-ness includes vises...then I am willing to accept you just the way you are! -Matt-

I have five ranging from post to pin.

I have 2 mounted that I use always but after counting I found 5 more on shelves . I guess this would be a good reason to build another work bench .

 

[Salem Straub]

I've got 7 or 8, you know what they say, a blacksmith can never have enough vices! Three of them are post vises, I even have a baby post vise as well.

 

[tiguy7]

At least a dozen. One of my vices is vises. You gotta have a place to hold your stuff.

 

[Mike Quesenberry]

Other than beer, whisky,wine, chewing tobacco, and good lookin women I have four.

Looks like I am still all alone at 9+.
Still, I feel better that some of you are not far behind.

I have 6 that I use regularly but I didn't count one mounted on a post out at the pumphouse because I haven't used it in years. Also didn't count two flytying vises but my total comes to 9 counting those three so I guess I'm about tied with you.

I have two but wish I had at least two more.
