If it werks for you then that's all that matters. I prefer to have my vise on a nice heavy table so I can do other stuff besides vise stuff right there. If you're not using it all the time you might consider throwing a grill cover or other type of somewhat water resistant cover on top of it to keep as much moisture off of it as you can. Maybe hose it down with some WD-40 before covering.
It's under the eve of my shed but I have a bucket I put over it when not in use
I like also. Price? what brand? How is the trunk attached to the ground, concrete?
Central Machinery, Harbor Freight brand. It was like $80. It's a piece of light pole that's 3' in the ground. Never concrete a wooden post, it draws up when it dries and leaves gaps that hold water and rots it crazy fast
It has enough mass that the vise would break way before the post would budge. In fact that was why I got this one. I put a 3' pipe on the last one and shattered the shit out of it
Not so fast. Dig the hole put the dirt in a wheelbarrow, add a shovel of cement, use to repack the pole. Cement slowly hardens but allows water to pass through. Old farming trick, done it hundreds of times.
Pipe holder - you can see it a little easier while I have something else in the vice and its open. you can rotate so those jaws are up top. In before pipe holder hur hur
>whats the scale for and the flat surface in the back >does it also function as a light anvil
The scale shows the degrees of rotation you have the vise jaws sitting at. Don't know where that would actually be applicable unless you want something at a certain angle to the ground...
The flat surface on the back would function as a very light duty anvil.

What should you do with a wooden post then if not concrete it?
Some locales have clay, no concrete needed

Put a hole in the side and put in used motor oil. Or coat it with tar before putting it in concrete.
Make sure you spray it with liquid wrench or something. Cold metal plus warm air make condensation. It looks pretty sweet right now

It’ll be rusted solid next year.

You came out of the closet?

Holding round or otherwise non- rectangular stock
