New Post Vise Stand
Finally got a stand made up for my Post Vise. Had to get some plate, pipe and a welder to put it together. The base is 24" diameter, I would go bigger next time. 3" Schedule 40 pipe, 1/2" inch top and bottom plate. The post the vise is sitting on is crooked, I wanted the vise to be straight. Hindsight I probably could have straightened the mount first... It's fairly stable as is, and when needed I can stand on the plate to add weight. I wanted it round to be able to move around in my small garage shop.

Simply elegant. Very pleasing and wont detract from the flowers, but rather add a bit of pizzaz. Nicely done. I am sure they will love it.

Hi from SE Michigan!
Welcome aboard! Grab a hammer and step to the anvil! I too live in SE Michigan, Wyandotte to be specific. I have a portable smitty set up at my Dad's place. If you guys would like to come over, I would be happy to show you around the fire and anvil. I too am just starting out, but am well on my way (so I'm told). Jeff
