[TheForge] Less tongue more vice

[Mark Williams]

My post vice is mounted on a horizontal I-beam welded to a vertical I-beam 
welded to a plate that is bolted into a tire rim. The end of the beam has 
two holes for attaching jigs and the are some pegs welded to the web to hold 
other tools. When taking down, I knock out the wedges and stand and vice are 
each a manageable piece.
