In an effort to make room in my small workshop I am going to knock a stand up for my big vice that can be moved around.
I am thinking an old truck brake drum but not sure if it will be stable enough,I do have a damaged truck wheel rim I could use 22.5 inch.
Could do with some inspiration I'm leaning towards the wheel rim for a bigger footprint.

What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I made one up for a 6" vice.
Brake drum off an 18 wheeler. 4" x 1/4" square tube welded to a plate disc bolted to the drum. Plate on top to mount the vice, offset so vice centre of gravity is over the post.
It worked out great, no stability issues. If you do a post search for vice stand you can have a look.
