New small studio solution: I now have my rolling mills on wooden skids w/ felt bottoms that slide into place and are bolted down to the bench. Both slide into corner when not in use. Hopefully next studio will have more space. #tdmw #maker #studio #handmade #metalsmith #jewelry - ThreadSky

This is an excellent idea. The reason I haven't bought a mill yet is because of space, this could really help me out.

People work differently, but for me, i use the wire mill all the time (had for ~10 years) and I rarely use my flat mill (20+ years) for me, the flat mill was a mistake

I expect it would be very useful for anyone looking to press a pattern into their sheet metal.

Your new studio in a new country? Please take me with you. I'm losing weight and might be able to fit into one of your bags, depending on how soon you're out of this place!!

This is old country studio. I just expanded it last year before I received my residency visa

That’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Oof, the shimmying you have to do to work in a small studio. I ended up doing something similar and bolting my jewelry polisher to some plywood that I can then clamp down to whatever surface I am using to polish, then put it on a shelf so I can use the space for something else after 😅
