• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

120 lbs. of Rock Island vise just came via UPS today. Came from a welding shop and shows little use. Opens & closes & swivels easily. No play or slop in jaws. Used my car lift to put it on a cart until I can fabricate a stand. I don't think I'll paint it - I prefer it to have a little character.

How Many swear words did the ups driver utter when bringing that to your door!
 
Nice! Really Nice! I've seen much smaller anvils!

We have a forum GIF for times like this..... But I can't find it.

You suck!

:D
 
Wow, that is nice and big. I saw these on auctions few times but they did not go cheap - they are very collectible in this size by a lot of blacksmiths.
