I saw the Zyliss Vise guy set up at the home show a couple of weeks ago and now they sell a large version of it, the guy said he stores his large vise in a tool box bought just for it. http://www.advmachinery.com/default.asp?pg=zvise

I stated that I had several of the Zyliss vises earlier in this thread that I used for case work on my table, that is just the beginning if you get hooked on using them. Like Shopsmith they are on the expensive side, but if you keep your eyes open you will find them at yard sales and on the net. Stay away from the earlier versions due to the limited thread length on the clamps. The earlier vises did not have the quick set rear jaw making them a bit slow to use. On occasion I have been a bit rough on mine and broke parts which have been replaced free of charge by the company each time.

This is the workbench I'm going to build for my shop. It's one of the most amazing benches I've seen in all my looking. There are several woodworkers that have blogs of themselves making their idea of the bench if you look around. Google newfangled workbench. It looks rock solid, is built out of dimensional lumber you can buy at any lumberyard, and could be improved/adapted to your own shop. Hal

Another option is what I did with my Belsaw planer(about 250lbs). Wheels on one end with only about a 1/2" clearance from the floor then made a hand dolley that hooks under the other end. Hook it up and wheel it whever you want it the lower it to the floor. Works quite well on that I don't know why you couldn't adopt the same thing to a bench. The wheels I turned out of some left over UHMW plastic.
