Nice Vise!

It never ceases to amaze me, the stuff people throw out. On my way to work this morning as I'm leaving the neighborhood I spot a vise in a pile a crap at the end of someone's driveway. I've been casually looking for a vise for a few years now because I've been using this little itty bitty tiny weenie vise that my dad gave me, so you can imagine how fast I put it in reverse, got out and ganked this one. I practically got a hernia living it into the car, it's got to weigh at least 50lbs.

My old vise is so small I can actually mount it on the new vise:

A few weeks ago my dad and I went to visit an old friend of his out in Hemlock. This guy had the biggest vise I've ever seen in my life; you could crush a car in it:

He said he got it at a scrap yard for free. Now I have a respectable one, but I still have vise-envy after seeing that monster.
