My Studio Workspace in Photos

My studio is a small 12’x15′ workspace in Indio, California.

I am in the process of setting up my primary workbench, soldering station, vise bench for serious metal forming; and my anvil station.

Main workbench and soldering station.

My vise bench, pictured below, has adjustable legs on casters so easily moved if needed. This is newly installed and, as you can see from the hammer riot, not properly organized initially; but that has since changed.

Newly installed vise bench. The Wilton vise with 6″ wide jaws should be able to handle most any job. And, you can never have too many hammers – or mandrels!

My beautiful American-made 35-pound anvil, pictured below, is almost too pretty to be hammering metal on, but it has to earn its keep.

My beautiful new 35-pound anvil, made in the USA. It’s almost too pretty to put to hammer on!
Until I can get it a proper tree stump, it rests on this table.
