Default this guy is having too much fun

destructive testing bench vises.

It's a 36 minute video; if you don't have that much time... link below skipped to a more interesting part:

and then look at time index 32:15 for the meaty vise.

The castings seemed to not be phased at all; easily repairable.

his anvil was made between 1830 and 1835 in Mousehole England in the "Black" region near Sheffield, England.
Anvil making as an industry started with the Mousehole Forge prior to 1700. The forge continued producing until 1933. This anvil is an example of the anvils produced in the 1830s.
It is in very good condition, particularly considering it is almost 200 years old!
It has very clean, sharp edges, a flat face, and good rebound.
There is what appears to be an original casting flaw on the rear foot, the flaw does not affect function.
It is marked in the traditional English hundredweight system 0-3-12 which is converted to 96 lbs.
Overall an incredible piece of English and American history brought to this country by early Americans to aid in the development of this country.

The last one went highest, but it is a bit shallow so I'm not sure, from a functionality standpoint, that it is as versatile.
