Barrel Vise Mounting options

[MighteyWhiteHunter]

Hi, I was curious what other members have done to Mount their Barrel Vise? I currently have a 90in long workbench that is 28in deep. My dilemma is that I dont want to take up precious space on top of the work bench and since I will not be changing barrels often so I would prefer to not have the vise mounted on top of the bench permanently.

Has anyone done an unconventional mount such as mounting it to the side of the bench so the barrel is vertical?

Just used a standard bench vise to hold the Barrel Vise?

Or clamped the Barrel Vise to the work surface and then remove it after the job was done?

Whats everyone's thoughts?

Thanks,

Alek

I have one mounted vertically. On the side. I seldom use it so it works just fine for me

I have a chunk of a 4" x12" beam about 3' long that I mount my Viper vice when I need to use it ~ maybe once a year so it's not worth mounting it on my bench.
