"T-Bolt, why do you do your gunsmithing sitting at the kitchen table? You are just perpetuating a hateful stereotype among us amateur gun breakers. I mean gun SMITHS."
Well, I'll tell you, loyal reader. Most of the stuff I do at home doesn't require a vise. If it did... well... I'd have to do that in the shop. A big plus the kitchen holds for me is the ugly yellow linoleum floor. If I drop a part in the dark basement among the detritus and wood shaving there... It's gone. I can SEE that little pin from the plunger tube on the kitchen floor, easy.
If I have to do dremel work, I do that on the porch if I can. Natural light, and less dust inside the kitchen. For instance you can sand a radius with the larger dremel sanding wheel into the top of the grip safety. With this clearance you can take off the beavertail grip safety without removing the mainspring housing. A big plus at times.
You can get grip safeties already modified, but doing it yourself isn't too hard.
