I finally mounted the woodworking vice that my Uncle Dick gave me. It is so frigging manly, you don't even know. My wife doesn't understand its importance, and that's a shame(She said I should put my head in it). The mounting bracket weighs about 30 pounds. My workbench sagged about 3 inches when I mounted it. I had to beef it up with a two by four, or the bench would have been torn apart by the shear manliness of the beast. I still need to make sure that the framing under the two by four support is resting on a floor joist, or else the vice will drive the wood right through the floor. The side wall of my workshop actually groaned when I mounted it. Not a creak, but an actual human groan.
