I found a vice for you that would fit nicely.
Shipping might be expensive though....
WTFROFLMAOTBHXX! now that you mention it...
the longer you stare, the more mountain lion it gets!
I'm sure Barn will send picts when its ready, isn't anything you can do to make lacquer dry faster, that's the only downside of using it, but it sure is forgiving at least that's what I'm finding!
Imagine the Truss Rod you could peen over that...

Ahem... Russians has biggers, yeshhhhh... Could trade for some nice katanas of comparable weight, it's around 60 kilos, I'd say
I aslo has an anvil, ACME style, unliftable by Will E. Coyote! No picks until I kick-start me tank to get to me country house =)
And yeshhh, #7 must be like "have a beer, go hunt a bear with your bare beer breath", now that's manly!
C'mon Barnaby, I'm desperately waiting for the refinish results!...
Ya know I thought that was a mountain lion too, and I'm thinking, wow this vise is almost the same size or bigger than that cat, holy crap that's huge..

They are spectacular things. The techniques are astonishing and the swords themselves are beautiful objects. It's just that, here, they are symbols of a type of deeply racist attitude for many.
I often talk about the positives of living here, but racism is something I deal with every day, from people not sitting next to me on the train to the local rice shop (run by a very conservative old couple) refusing to sell to me after the earthquakes. Really...they told me they had no rice, then, when I went around the corner, they sold some to a Japanese person. That sort of stuff is part of life and easy to ignore most of the time, but there is a fundamental division between 'us' and 'them' in the minds of many. The word gaijin, which is used all the time, means 'outsider'. In a way, a sword is a perfect metaphor for this nationalistic attitude, as it is used to cut or divide, rather than join.
Oooops...I'm ranting!
