Very nice product. Very interesting story on how much work goes into making something like this.

You could do that with the powder-coated one. I am running a stainless vs. a black one onboard my tree truck.
The stainless clamps would be for arborists who live along the coast, near a marine environment.
Or for the Arborist who wants to will this thing to his children and then on to his grandchildren.
I expect these clamps to last awhile.
I feel like they should have a name. Clamps. Bar vises. That's the best we've come up with.
Philbert, I can see the extended effort.Waaaay back in posts #6 and #9 in this thread, I suggested a version of these clamps/vises with a threaded post (excuse the puns). Instead of being permanently mounted or clamped to a flat surface, these would drop through a hole in a work bench, trailer bed, tailgate, etc., for quick, stable, temporary use. Store flat in a tool box.
I can see the direction you're going with this.
The appeal for someone like me is to use them like a stump vise on finished, horizontal surfaces: a workbench, a picnic table, tailgate, etc. For this use, attaching the filing clamps to a board, and attaching the board to the work surface with ‘C’-clamps, etc., creates a portable chain filing workstation.
Along with the C-clamp, above, I included a stainless steel clamp for you to further your effort.The threaded base drops through a hole anywhere on a surface (or through a wide gap between boards) and lies flat for transport/storage.
On the threaded post version you just did, you removed the base completely.
With this stainless steel bar vise, will you have the post welded to the base itself?
. . . . part of the upright is near-perfect smooth, and the other half of the posts have these laser waves . . .
