That and a good bench vice cost more than my first car.
Everyone with a Wilton thinks the are priced like gold as well.
My first car was $150, I can't buy an anvil for that...
Nice mount. I see most of them mounted on cut logs and never understood why.
Back a couple of years ago, there was a knife building demonstration at Ponca City where some knife builders brought their forges and anvils.
I asked a group of them why the cut logs. They said it reduced the "ring" by dampening the vibrations. I can buy that. Mine on the metal stand will ring for awhile when using it.
I have three 4" Wilton machinist vises scattered around the shop on benches, acquired over the years at farm auctions.Everyone with a Wilton thinks the are priced like gold as well.

That’s interesting. That’s actually a piece of bois d’arc trunk I cut here. It should last longer than me.
Definitely will last. We have fence posts around here from right after the dust bowl days when they put in the shelter belts of Bois D'arc. Farmers/ranchers used the branches for the posts. A lot of wood workers like to find those. The part in the ground makes some really interesting wood to use on the lathe.
If you think Wilton is high, check out Kurt vices for machine work.Everyone with a Wilton thinks the are priced like gold as well.

Almost
The dewalt branch snipper, for lack of the real name is a bad to the bone branch snippet. Got one for the wife and takes care of the branches she doesn’t want.
Loppers, should have read further. It will sand sure lop!
