[Brian McIlmoyle]

I have a selection of Vices, from a Workmate, to a workmate clamp on vice, to a small bench vice , to a large mechanic's vice, all the way up to a massive, 80lb leg vice from the 1800s ... I use the leg vice the most .. it is rock solid and will hold anything.

I built a bench to attach the vices to, its 30 inches wide and 5 feet long and has 100 board feet of 2x6 in it... bolted to the wall... that bench could hold a car. when you want something to hold something.. don't cheap out. buy the best you can afford, and more than you will think you will need.
