    Thanks - gonna' re-arrange and make brackets this weekend based on the advice I'm getting. Bench vise was grandad's - a Reed 105S.

    Humidity-wise - I've run the dehumidifier continuously since last weekend (cycling) and shop temps are 72-80F, with relative humidity 45-55%. It's an awfully humid summer in Atlanta!

    Perfect!
    Since no one ever reports too much space, there are many layout possibilities.
    Good job hanging transformer and humidifier; not only saves maintenance or electrical issues, you utilizE the most overlooked [IMNSHO] resource of all...cubic space. Some folks don't get past hanging wall charts.
    If it doesn't block light or hit your head, all's good.

    Mounted and ran the cables neatly for the RPC; cranked up the mill for the first time in its new home - she's happy!
