Fingers crossed that the deal goes through on thr house we just put an offer in on. If so it will be time for a hobby/re-loading room work bench

Threw together this small bench out of scrap wood. Just like the OP, I got tired of working on the floor and top of the toolbox.

Craigslist for the vise

What constitutes a good vice? My $60 harbor freight one has survived 2 cross country moves and many hits with sledge hammers.

I have a central forge from HF also, works great, but looks as though it was "forged" using recycled woks.

I have several harbor freight vises as well. Nothing to really complain about.

I know you do a lot of fab work, but is the ~$440 cost differential justifiable? If so, how?

edit: LMAO @ the $6500 bench vise! holy fuck!
