one of my friends is a contractor ....he stops by the shop and builds stuff when he has time...sometimes i think just to hide from his wife
its great 1/2 of the stuff around my shop is repurposed wood,my addition was my old deck...
so when i bought my shop i found this 3'x3' 7/8" plate steel about 4 times was going to junk it ...had to find a purpose
my heplers dad gave me this vise ...my help been bugging me to mount it ,came -up with this idea
my bud just did a deck and had some lumber...wonder what i'm getting billed for this about 5/6 hrs

Def would have been a shame to toss a nice hunk of steel like that. Now you can truly say you have something to beat on.
 
my other bench i over built
already killed one wilton vise on it wtf
when i build a bench it needs to hold up to the 5lb sledge test ....all day long
air chisel put a beating on a vise
