any idea where i could find a base for a littleton #25 vise? everything else on the vise is in great shape. the guy that gave me the vise said the base was broke. If a base is not available any idea how to fabricate base? I would even settle for a fixed base.

I've seen littleton vises on Ebay and honestly, they don't go for much. Pick out a #25 that had a swivel base and needs help. Ask the seller if they would be willing to just send you the base in a FLB if you take the winning bid. I've bought seperate parts and the seller just disposed of the rest of the vise.

Ya, put the best of both of them together. But if you want one fabbed up...

Well actually I couldn't do it without far exceeding the value of the vise itself.
