Nate, a 5 gal. bucket some cement concrete and a 4X6 makes a nice stand for vices and grinders.
Grinder stand looks nice, best mount I had was one with a 4 sq tube coming up from a steel truck wheel and a pice of 6 channel at the top. I like the grinder mounted to a wheel as its easy to roll whenever you need if/when you move it. As far as vice I think table mounted is best, mine gets beat on a lot. A post in a bucket of Crete wouldnt last long for me but to each his own.
Vise needs a bench for leverage, especially when Donkey Kong is pulling on something tightened down in said vise.
Although I dont own a shop like Ken or Shawn, I agree that a vice needs to be bench mounted. Im a little fellar, but leverage is a mans best friend which will probably tip a small base when you have a two foot or bigger cheater bar on something, you need more then that on the other end to keep it some what firmly planted. And that is a good size vise, which can handle bigger projects, and heavier beatings.
Nate, I'm probably no help but I have my vise mounted to my welding table. It is over 800# so I have beat the snot out of anything in the vise without it moving. It also depends on how big your vise is and what you will use it for. Just holding stuff the post would probably be ok. If you want to heat stuff and then use it as an anvil then the table or bench would be the way to go.
That bench is about at strong as the vise, he might be OK.Nate, you bought the bench. Maybe you need a REAL MAN BENCH

Maybe you need a REAL MAN BENCH I do not disagree jr, but that is the bench that will get used while staying in a rental. Once we get our own place, there will be a permanent "REALMAN BENCH" that will be able to withstand anything that a special (mentally challenged) warrant officer pilot could possibly think to throw at it/do to it/try to burn it down with whatever.........
Oh, and Nate, what's that ugly round green thing in the pic?

Yep, my 8 year old shepherd is named maynard. His akc registration name is something like der König Maynard
