I have installed a french style vice (https://www.feinewerkzeuge.de/Vorderzangenfuehrung-klein/300655) which was the only piece I bought for this whole operation.
I have raised the inner clamping surface slightly (as per Paul Sellers - https://paulsellers.com/2014/01/flush-vises/) to also make sure is plane (I am afraid that the glued up top is not straight enough to serve as clamping surface.
I'm looking forward to putting this to the test during winter, to do some #woodworking and #carpentry on my new #workbench (with a #vice !!!) *happy*

So I had this rickety "workbench" with no proper frame, the surface was warped and no good way to clamp things.
If *finally* have a proper workbench, proper sturdy frame and 55m/2in properly flat top.
And the best thing: all made from wood I had lying around the shop.
AND I FINALLY HAVE A PROPER VICE.
(You do not know how bad it is if you don't have one and try to plane stuff...)

ANYWAY the reason I was talking about flat-bottomed spheres is because I'm trying to make my tiny workspace more functional as my tool set slowly expands. the bike-specific stuff is generally behind me and that area needs even _more_ work but at the same time is also kinda... arguably? less bad? just because it's mostly hand bike tools and supplies and places to put bike parts when they're not on a bike.
when i post pictures of the bike on the rack, that's to the left of the punching bag visible on the left side of this picture.
