If you prefer the vice to have some mobility weld that pipe onto a large truck rim, a 10 hole bud works best with the hole side up. Then fill the rim with concrete. Burn a few holes into the rim so you can add a piece or two of re-bar that goes right across to come out the other hole this way your concrete will stay put when you have to move it around the yard which wont be often.

Have a peek under the jaws you may also have a pipe vise.

By the looks of your vise it's made to swivel on its mount and your missing the bolt with T handle that locks it into place once positioned.

Gus, there is a T handle on the other side so I will be able to lock it somewhat. Thanks for the ideas because I had NO clue what to do with this thing!!


Toula, I didnt pay anything for it, the guy that gave it to me said it had been in his shop since 1967 but I have no idea if it was new when it was put there. I cant find a brand, its pretty worn all around. I will look closer after I clean it up. I'm sooooo excited!!!!!!

Welcome, on the jaws there's inserts held on with screws, the grips get worn over the years you can buy new inserts also whats called soft jaws.
