I know exactly what you mean, Greg , , , , I have so many jobs I would like to do and some are all there just needing putting together, I just have to pull my finger out and just get them done.
I'm a Handyman and after working at a customers place razzing their place up, it seems I am all razzed out to get my jobs done
Cheers, Bug-ged by the end of the day

I feel ya Bud , , , , oups, that just got weird :oops: . Working from the back of a Ute may be Australian but it must be a pain in the but, credit to you Tac, for being able to do that.
As above post, I'm a Handyman and fabricate a lot at home for jobs and I have a shed but is full of stuff sheds are full of (not greenery). I've always been an outside person. Dad and I rarely did work IN the shed, we would do most outside, just how we preferred it BUT not having a shed at all must be hard
My work area, gets cleaned and tidied once every two or so months , , , , as you can see, it is a month over due
I have a decent big solid Metal Table & Vice in the work space in the Shed but use my "portable" one more often then the inside one.
My Portable Metal Vice Table , , , , this table and vice has got a flogging over the years AND is still going strong.

Yoooooo da maaaaaan, Tac
That is a great idea :thumbsup: having the top part of the Rod Holder open, just grab the rod and load up straight away, instead of trying to pull it up out of the holder , , , , losing time and grappling with it while the rod is loaded.
Going to make one and see how it goes.
Cheers, Bug
