    Well congrats on the new job! It's a bit of a struggle giving up workshop space but I'm sure you'll find somewhere to settle. If you need someone to take care of the bench in the meantime just let us know

    Edit to add: thanks for the great write up and post, it's very helpful, I'm planning one of these builds myself. Double thanks for the vise video, it's great to see it in action.

    So now I am in Tassie, no real workshop space to speak of, but hopefully by this time next year I might have a place to move into...

    So Finally, after a bit of a wait a property came up that ticked all my boxes. Plenty of land, nice views, and obviously the most important thing being several sizable sheds (340sqm in total across 4 sheds) . Settlement will be early January, so all going to plan I will be setting up shop mid January and back at it after a year of doing pretty much nothing...

    And best of all, because I will have a nice large dedicated wood workshop (12x6m with pitched roof down the length), I will just have to build a more sizable workbench . This bench will serve as a dedicated hand tool bench, for chisel and plane type work. And I will be building a much larger/longer bench that is more suited to every day things as well as power tool use.
