In Response To: Tools: Looking for ideas for clamping station (Malcolm Schweizer)

Heya, Malcolm

Given your small space, consider rigging up a grill, like the kind used for sewers...set up a pulley system that suspends the grill up high bound with a rope that you can untie and use to lower the grill to within reach. Many clamps can be clamped to each slat of the grillI bought a couple of pulley systems recently for a very low price that are meant for bicycles to be hung up from a ceiling. I got them because they are perfect for hanging kayaks. I am at work now so I can't post a pic of what I mean but I think you understand me. When I get home today, I'll try to find the pulleys and post a pic of the set up.
