JEM Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Here is a photo of my work bench and one of a friend of mines bench. It is here stuff will be created and it would be nice to see some of your benches! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Heck with the bench, look at those boots, they are beautiful. I have some old timey dressing fox hunters that would kill for those. A couple of my three day girls wear them and polo players like them, but they're too cheap to pay for a decent pair. They have them made in Argentina or Brazil and then come to me because their $200 custom boots don't fit. "I can't send them back", they need some crackers to go with their whiiine. I think I need to get my meds refilled, Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEM Report post Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Kevin, thank you for the compliment! The boot is an strap & buckle field boot same style as the bespoke trade in London, West End are doing them. It is an exciting style to make and the bellows tongue is the tricky part. I know about Argentina, one of my clients ordered a pair there last year but I have not heard anything about it yet.

corter Report post Posted March 3, 2009 there's my bench...it doubles as my bedroom haha. I believe there's a project on it in that picture too. I live in a 9x9foot room, and work there too. I have a concrete ledge out of my window that i use to punch holes and do anything i need to with a hammer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkB Report post Posted March 11, 2009 Here is my work space. It's set up so you can reach most every thing you need with out to much moving to get it. The tool rack in the second photo I made in wood shop back in high school and I need to make a second one for the new tools I keep getting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEM Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Mark, what a nice and clean work bench you have. My master told me "show me your work bench and I can tell the quality of your work". Well, he meant that a clean bench is needed if you want to make top grade stuff. Thanks for posting yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HellcatLeathers Report post Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Here is a pic of my work area under the enclosed portion of my deck. It's all cypress and cedar and smells great while working outside.....I love it! I keep everything in rubbermaid containers and take it out when needed. The table is solid teak and weighs a ton. I couldn't move it if I tried! All the dyes are kept in my toolbox. I would love to get a bigger piece of granite and bolt down a rivet setter. Any suggestions?
