Set up my 255mm (9") vice this week.

The bench it is on is bedecked with railway sleepers. (Railroad ties for those in need of translation)

I look forward to many hours smiting on this big old xxxxer.

How does she look on the floor? I can't quite make it out what the leg is resting on.

I am thinking just using a steel plate with a hole on a similar vise.

are the jaws 9" across? that is a monster! how much does she weigh?

Never weighed it, but it would have to be near 100kg or more.

At the moment it is sitting on a bit of timber at the foot, am yet to make the bracket to bind the leg to the table.

100Kg... xxxx! a true monster.

I've used wood at the foot with good effect in the past. am guessing that with such a stout unit as yours, as long as the wood doesn't split, it's good to go.

I like how however mild your language might have been, it now looks like you used one of two very profane obscenities.

I have plenty of large bits of timber and plate to use to mount the foot.

Not bad for a scrap pile find eh?
