One car garage myself. Found myself wondering where I was going to mount my vise. Almost mounted it to my truck bumper as no room. But on GJ there are a lot of good ideas to help space wise. I built a bench to maximize available space.
Cheers!
I ended up doing this with my vise, base is a chunk of frame from an old dump truck , braces from the end of an old oil tank, an old piece of pipe and some plate for the mount.
Total investment
Wheels, ball bearing steel center for lawn mower. 12 bucks
Paint, 6 bucks
With the vise it weighs 130 lbs but it rolls around very easy.
The wheels are just off the floor until you tip it back.
After having used this I wont be putting a vise on my bench any time soon.
Now back on to the topic of garage vs shop. Mines 32x32 with 16 foot ceilings 16000 glorious cubic feet of projects , junk , tools ect ect. Ive been building it now for 5 years still unfinished. But I love these garages / shops that are done to the nines. and someday mine will be one of them!
