Here's my setup, with some works-in-progress laid out. We run bowmaking classes throughout the year so that's why there are three Stave Presses in the open area.
My main workstation has an antique vise placed close to a heavy workbench that's anchored into the studs in the wall. I like to clamp the bow in the vise and rest the extended limb on the bench's block for stability. Moving the vise to its own stand was a big plus. Having it attached directly to the workbench just seemed to beat things to pieces from all the pulling. The main bench also has a shelf under it for the rasps and saws that get used daily. The other shelves are for storing things like glues, leather, hides, jigs, and misc tools unrelated to bowmaking.
There's not usually a mountain of staves on the floor, but it's cutting season right now. I'll have these all debarked and in storage before our first class in late January. I prefer the floor space to be as open as possible, so my OCD is itching with all these staves strewn about :o. I just picked up the 1990 Delta band saw for a fun winter restoration project. It's in great condition overall but needs a complete overhaul.

Man. Y’all sure do have some purdy staves!
