the big one is outside.
no real rust issues. I keep it greased on the inside and occasionally spray the outside with phosphoric acid.
Outside there is room to use it, and a bit of a breeze to cool things down, I have room to Move around, use the torch if I need to heat things up, whatever. I put it there for one project, years ago. I found it convenient so there it stays.
I have a smaller clamp on that moves around the workbenches as needed.
my indoor space is very restricted, I have plenty of room outside. And this is South Florida so “bitter cold” means 50 with a light breeze.
