I'm not sure what impressed me more , the vise or the base it's attached to.

Now, that's what I call a vise and base! Wow!  That's not going anywhere!

The shop looks pretty interesting too. I see an old Sun machine in the back. I'd almost bet he's one of us. A tool whorder.

You guys need to check out the Cleveland CL for vises. There are quite a few collector / hoarders.

Cleveland, that is a perfectly weird name for a planet.

Haha...what a blast from the past.

The base is probably filled with sand? With a vise that size cantilevered to that extent the base has to be really heavy. 300 lbs?

I bet there is closer to 500 lbs of steel in the base.  And if filled with sand, which would be a good idea to dampening the "ringing" from the hollow drum, add another 350 lbs for the sand. 

My guess anyways.

Good to know.  I have no personal reference weight wise.

I tried to get my neighbor interested in that (he's got a barn; I don't).   He said, "It's ONLY 7"....
