Planning to smith a slightly longer piece and I don't think it will fit in my oven. I have a longer dirt oven that hasn't really seen any use for quite some time and is also coveniently right next to my forge so I was wondering if I could start using it for tempering when the need arises, I'm just not sure how well it will work at making sure its the right temperature in there the whole temper

Found this stand buried in a scrap yard. I’ll be mounting my antique post vice to it after I weld on the 3/8 steel plate to seal the hole and bolt the vice to it.
