    Where does one acquire something like this in the picture I’ve attached? I’m not even sure what to call it but I’d love to pick up a few as I’m beginning my journey into finish work. Thanks for any direction!

    If its like mine, its just a piece of electrical conduit hammered flat with a couple of appropriately placed screw holes drilled.

    If you are looking for a commercially available solution – Jeff at Total Vise came up with a great kit he calls the Small Shop Finishing Station.

    You can find it here:

    That looks like someone flattened a pole with a hammer and drilled see holes in it. Probably very effective.

    Total vice has a small finishing station that is a great price point. Comes with an electric and acoustic holder. I had Jeff modify a couple for me to fit ukuleles.

    At the hardware store…….Looks to be flattened electrical conduit…..what, 3/4″? Many uses! Oops….somebody beat me to it. I would love a Total Vise/ Proper work ago-go but can’t afford it yet. Conduit cheap and easy to work.
