Here is a tip for securing a work holding vise without losing bench space from @lija_jewelry - “I have a bench pin vise with a lever, so I can switch my bench pin in and out easily. When I got my work holding vise with a base, it actually needed to be mounted on my bench. Since my countertop space is limited, I thought of this idea. I used an old (different sized) benchpin and mounted the work holding vise on it. Now I can switch between them easily. Even If you don't have a benchpin vise like me, you can use a second bench pin, take the pin out and switch to one with the work holding vise on it. My bench pin vise is from Herens & Herens @herensherens in the Netherlands and my work holding vise is from Rubenco.” Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I found @riogrande has the same tool - “Universal Work Holder with Adjustable Base” and it’s very affordable. My experience has been that tools that are meant to be mounted only function well when they are actually mounted and I love this solution. #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytools #makingjewelry
