Where to Put Vises

Got room in your kitchen and dining room?

I think I can squeeze a couple into the kitchen, lol

I have several vises and bending fixtures that I use on my welding table. I added a piece similar to a Reese truck hitch on my table and a plate bolted to my vises with a square stub to drop whatever I need in place. When they're not in use I keep them on the shelf or the floor.

Just think of them as presses for elephant garlic.

Two for the mill , two for the welding table, three for the work bench, three for the drill press, if I looked hard 4more hiding.

Yep. Four inch Wilton mounted on the kitchen counter coupled with strap wrench would be great for those pesky pickle jars.

Seriously, I agree the best lighted area is a good start.

For those who like vintage stuff, here is a book that would go well on a coffee table or on the bathroom counter next to the toilet.

Good reading is that!

I just bought an old USA 6” vise from a garage going out of business and I plan on mounting it outside on a 6' I-bream that I will be digging up from another location. Plan on digging a hole deep enough to have the vise mounted at a good height, weld a plat and mount the vise.

A one car garage? Plenty of room...
