One of the first things I did when I was setting up my garage was change singles/doubles to 4's.
Battery charging, radio, under bench air compressor and 1 for general use.

It’s still a bit rough in my mind, and there were a few oopsies and do overs along the way. Would be neater were I to do it again now, but it’s close enough I don’t want to do it again!

Mentioned before, you can fuck that shit up completely 3 times before you are quids in by getting someone in to do it for you. May not be 100% and you will know all the little blemishes but to others, it looks fckn good

Hanging storage seemed like a good idea but I have a shit set up. Props to those who can make it work. If I could do it all again, I think I would like a few shallow drawers with Eva foam.
And lots of segregated storage options for all the little parts that inevitably get chucked in a big box and lost.
I'm not posting photos of my workbench, it's embarrassingly messy!

Run out of potatoes? Would be hard to tell.
No way I am posting pics of mine either... Similar, very similar, reasoning even mid clean out.

That looks the goods for sure… I’m keen to see your vice choice.

Just get tackle boxes! Several drawers are just full of them for all the small bits and bobs

That's the idea, I just haven't done it yet
I'm no fisherman/woman/person, where's a good place to get some and start the Great Sortening of 2023?

Cheaper boxes but Med quality - Bunnings.That's the idea, I just haven't done it yet

Good quality and a bit more expensive - Plano from a tackle shop.
Measure the space they are going and get the right sizes.

Well all this vice talk had me gassing. As if I don't have enough vices...
So, today I picked up a Dawn 100mm Multi-Purpose Vice from Total Tools for $159. I looked at the 125mm too, but it is too big, for what I want.
I have placed it where my trusty fabricated offset vice was mounted, and will fit the old offset vice to a bench, I have yet to build.
Even though I suspect the Dawn will get more use, simply because it can be rotated 360 degrees to suit the job at hand, but... I know that sometimes an offset vice is the only thing that will do what's required. Long tall things come to mind.
The Dawn seems very nicely built, and the horizontal and vertical play on the movable jaw is very small, a lot less than my trusty offset vice and also my really old Sidchrome 115mm vice.
Ye olde trusty fabricated offset vice...
The new Dawn...
Dawn up close and personal...

Yep, it's not going anywhere... well, except to be mounted on my next bench

The offset vice is better, the inline ones are a pain because you can't hold anything long in them.

The newer offset fabricated vices are fucking awesome.
Hard to bypass the cast ones for hammering shit on though.
