The vice is an essential tool in a forge workshop. It holds a central place in the forging process by providing a means to securely hold metal pieces while they are worked upon. This offers the blacksmith precise control over the piece, facilitating hammering, bending, and shaping operations. It enables safe work by reducing the risk of injuries associated with handling hot or moving pieces. The vice also helps in holding pieces in place during welding processes. It is useful for assembling pieces during riveting, screwing, or bolting operations.
