Of course - we'll definitely find a home for it. But, the table it's
currently on is not very useful in the current layout, since it has no
under-table space. I am trying to find some way to keep the vice useable
without keeping the entire table around, if that's even remotely possible.

How horrible would it be to move it to the silkscreening room? I
understand it would be less convenient for press maintenance, but
keeping the current table in the office would be pretty inconvenient, too.
Anyone else on the printshop list have ideas?
