September 13, 20178 yr Had my vise bolted to the wall of the shop, and of course I broke that loose. Gathered up some drops/jacks/tractor parts I had laying around the shop and made up a quick and dirty stand. Shop floor is dirt so i cast it into a block for stability. Did a "tap root" in the bottom of the hole about 36" deep to help resist any twisting forces. So far so good, very solid. Only cost me about $20 in concrete.
