[TheForge] Plate for my post vise

[Ries Niemi]

depends how hard you hit it.
You can stand on it, while you are whacking- that ought to help a bit.
But really, I just read an old lady, 72 years old, in China, has been 
pulling semi's around with her teeth- so a strapping young guy like 
you, hitting something with a big hammer, should be able to get several 
tons to move.
In most instances, my guess would be the big plate would be fine.
But in extreme situations, nothing beats bolting it down to a concrete 
slab.
