1980# of vise.  The big anvil in the picture is no light weight either!

I really like tools that don't jump around when you get working!   Made them himself too!   Keep looking there is a lathe with at least a 7 foot bed, and a home brew flame cutter, CAM operated?

That would be right handy for jewelry making.

Scott would use that to repair little GEM wrenches!

Looks to me that both the Anvil and Vise were made up from 2" plate steel.
I see plates of the steel and his cutting table.
Using appropriate welders and grinders,both of these huge pieces were made by him.
Also the weight of each is impressive.
Wonder what the anvil sounds like when you strike it with a hammer???
Also, look how long the "moveable jaw" on the vise is!! Impressive!
