Where do you store a Moxon vise?

[Clifford McGuire]

I hang mine from a beam on a dowel, actually I hang a lot of things in my shop now

I gotta ask. Mike, what's the item hanging next to the Moxon?

Hi Clifford, it's a saw vise. Keeps it nicely out of the way too.

Mine has wings, but also a lip for a holdfast.

I take it off my bench and store it on a shelf. It's close, so I can have it ready to go in seconds.

The Moxon vise is one of the best things I've added. The extra 6 inches of height makes a world of difference for my sawing position and my aching back.

Clifford, it looks like you have a couple of Cohen-inspired features: flip-up shelf and I-beam prop with Crubber on the tops. Also, thanks for the sensible, convenient storage photo.

Glad you like it. I think one other desirable feature of a Moxon is the ease of securing the work in between the chops.

Indeed. If I recall, Derek's had a groove for a sliding clamp in the flip up shelf. That would be a nice upgrade to mine someday.

My second bench is 41" high. Many uses but thus far, no vise.

Tom,

That's awesome. Where did you find the base? And nice looking shop-would be fun to see more pictures.

Where to store was also a small issue. So when I added a platform at top back of the Moxon, I extended the rear bottom to square it off to store the Moxon vise vertically along a wall and not have the handwheels and shafts protrude. You can see the bottom extension in the pics. Also eliminated wings to reduce the length. It attaches to my workbenches extremely well using holdfasts instead.
