My old beater is over 25 years old. 3/4 particle board, 1/4" hard (tempered) masonite treated with Watco oil and edged with oak banding.
I whale on this thing, and it looks like it but it's been a stalwart, plus, it knocks down into 4 'panels' so I can move it as I move.
I'm jealous of you guys with the nice Wilton vices. This thing is kind of a turd.
