    Hello there,

    I thought I’d share my solution to working without a workshop.

    I used a No 55 vise although I reckon a 52 would also work.

    It’s 600mm deep so the vise projects over the work surface. I works for small projects but I wouldn’t recommend thumping mortices too often.

    When I grow up, I might get a shed.

    Tim

    Nice use of your available space. I think setting up a workshop is always a compromise of some sort. Rest assured that how ever much space you get, you’ll always want more.

    Cheers

    Love it! Just watch the sawdust and shavings in the stove! 🙂

    I guess that’s one way to get more fiber in your diet. A little sawdust in your morning cereal … mmmmm.

    Seriously, I love that. You have to do what works for you. I once saw an article about someone who set up a tiny “shop” in a bathroom.
