Hey Ted, I got my Reed 4 vise. Luckily, its not a piece of junk. Its really nice, but deserves a good clean and lube which I intend to do. Reed 204R, a 4 vise. I wanted to show you a photo of my almost 3 anvil my Dad bough almost 40 years ago, but I dont know how to post photos. I think its Civil War vintage and has seen lots of use and abuse. The Hardy hole is huge. Oh well, its a cool old thing. If you hit a hammer on it, it pops right back up. Good forged metal, I guess. I cant pick the damned thing up, had to use the front end loader of my tractor. Loaded it in my pick up with the tractor and it fell over; the horn poked a hole in the rubber mat bed liner. Its a real beast, but well used after 150 years or so. Im guessing it would be the ticket with a huge vise???? PS, Ted, sent you an email with photo of the anvil....its huge!
