heck! even the Enco tooling/vises are homeruns! HD and rigidity is the key!!
i like it centered in corner! never thot of such, but perhaps for tool reach L or R... could be ideal!
many who have exposed stand alone shops, with tools, equip etc. build a rebar cage. will stop all but those carrying a cutting torch!
if needed, that's what i was thinking, too. good idea
it's like drag racing etc... beat it up hard enuff and it will break...!
we all are subject to thievery these days! ~ any thing! can be compromised!
Looks great , it’s like buying your first home. You can use it and customize it as you see fit. What are the interior dimensions? I would look into adding some insulation for the roof and adding a few 2x4 to hold it up . A beer fridge would be nice but you have a few years before you’ll need it.
i got a tin shed for bikes and some garden tools. came with the house. summer or winter, no condensation. few posting here get hotter summers than we do down here. only leaks if it rains! lol.... a drop here n there
i always liked a work truck, like some utility services have/use... and there is a vise mounted! like a good ac/dc welding truck, etc...
yeah, but they are not $40 bux!! lolThere’s a vise called a Kurt?
mine will hold half thou....
within reason, my exp has been the limit of the accuracy is limted to the operator's skill and exp ~
centered, is centered. half thou good for most apps. not tool n die here nor gear cutting....
The talk about security reminds me.......................
If your hasp and lock are on the outside of the shed door, make sure someone can't lock it on you while you're inside and trap you, either. Outside hasp and padlock is fine for a storage shed you won't be spending time in, but strongly suggest a standard door knob and strike plate for anywhere meant for occupancy. Or at least make sure the door is flimsy enough you can kick it down from inside, if needed.

like your new shop, it's
Adequate ventilation is the key , if its adequate no condensation formation (dew point) no drips !
Vice quality & placement depends on the usage or end user ... to each their own . Portability is a good choice though !
