Pictures -- was Can a hard bearing ball be welded to mild steel

Very nice! The first thing I learned about a vise was not to stand next to it when spinning the handle.
Sweet,
How did you get it to stay put when welding it ?

Nice, but your bench is way too uncluttered.

Iggy, I like you OK; OK? I think other folks bear down too hard on you for being, well, Iggy.
But, guy, that's an UGLY job of filleting those balls on that bar. If you'd pocketed the ends of the bar first, the balls would have fit tight, and you could've soldered them with an almost invisible joint.
(I don't criticize others' welding too much, 'cause I'm not very good at it either. But you did put it up for critiques.)

Jeff, I spent a month working feverishly to de-clutter and reorganize.
Lloyd, nothing to say, you are right. I have never soldered steel stuff.
