Hi Kevin, great shop. How about some comments and pics on your large blacksmith vise (next to the power hammer) and how you mounted it?

[rivettlathe]

@bentontool You noticed my post vise. I mounted it on a 8 inch steel pipe with a 2 inch thick steel base. It comes in at about 700 pounds.

Beautiful shop! I'm green with envy!

Goodness!  How long did it take to gather up all that! I've got myself a foundry furnace, forge, anvil, drill press, welder, and the other usual things. I really need a lathe though.
