    thanks thats what I was having a problem with deciding which way to mount it...did you use 1 1/2 sq tube or something else? I found some 2 in I think I'm going to use just cause its free. also are you going to put sand in the upright tube? I don't know how this posted twice...must be the magic of Christmas!

    in your picture the leg at the bottom front comes straight out on both vices...in the book Mark sez you can arange the legs either way. have you tried this setup before so as to know if the way pictured works better than the other way...does that make sense(I'm collecting the parts to make the same stands)

    Right now I have 15 gal metal garbage can from tractor supply it holds water. I'm thinking about getting a 10 gal with a lid, and puting used peanut oil from the Christmas turkeys frying...seems like I always let the peanut oil go to waste. putting it in the shop seems like a better option.

    The worst part about Ebay is people are bidding up the price...I often wonder if the seller, or one of his buds, is not logged in bidding up the price in order to make more. You really get that feeling when you receive a second chance offer after bidding closes.
