    Pest proofing my garage / workshop

    Some of us have no choice, we have 7 Maine Coons (my wife shows and breeds them) but only one geriatric cat is allowed out, the rest live in the house and have a big outside run where they catch the odd screw or frog. The old one was once a prolific mouser though, I used to collect up to 10...

    Which bench dog / MFT system?

    My current setup is on a frame held on Toughbuilt saw horses. I use it to make stuff for my new workshop (on ice until timber prices normalise).
