I posted on this vise last year when I got it.
Today I built the stand for it.

Way cool stand, I really dig the shape of the baseplate.
Well done.

Looks good. I'm guessing that stand is pretty heavy to hold that beast!

That’s a 3/4” thick base and the rest is 1/2”. It’s a couple Hundred pounds

Looks incredible.
I like the cut-outs for weight savings and speed I presume.


Are you going to paint it to match?
Did you find the vise that way, or clean it up and paint it yourself?

The vise was in ok shape when I got it. I’ve dated it somewhere around 1880. I cleaned it up and painted it.
The stand is made from A588 weathering steel. No paint.
I tabbed and slotted all parts together to minimize the fillet welding and it makes it easier to assemble.

Does your vise have removable jaw pads? If so it was made 1911 or newer. Nice stand!
