Randy Cornelius Report post Posted June 17, 2009 When I seen the photos of Bruce Johnson's shop it reminded me that I have not posted any pictures of my new shop that I just completed this spring. I built the new building 2 years ago and have been working on finishing the inside a little at a time. The building is a pole barn 30x40 that I finshed off 1/2 of it making a 20x30 shop. Wood Laminate over concrete floors, 10' ceilings with white painted metal for the ceiling. The cutting table is 64" x 120". My tooling bench is an old wooden desk with a 3" slab of granite on top of the full length, 60" x 36". Lots of natural light which I really like. It sure beats working in the basement. Just thougth I would show off a bit. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruce johnson Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Randy, Nice open design. Looks like some extra floor space for another machine or two. For sure there is plenty of room on that bench for another splitter. I like the tooling bench, and that is the short suit in my shop. I see the 12 or whatever it is makes a nice saddle tree rack. I've seen guys use them to hang reins and latigos off too. I like your shop, sure looks easy to work in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen guys use them to hang reins and latigos off too. I like your shop, sure looks easy to work in. The saddle tree is sitting on top of a Landis K. Son Riley bought it off ebay for 150.00 and we drove to St. Louis to pick it up. We actually set the K inside with a bobcat (weighs 900 lbs) and then built the walls up around it. So whatever happens in the future the K will stay. We have not had the time to get it up and running. We bought it thinking we were going to get into the bootmaking business. Not sure what else it's good for, I have my Artisen to everything else. I am looking at a flat bed machine at some point, not sure where to put it.

Double U Leather Report post Posted June 18, 2009 OH Randy..........you make me sick!! I'd give my left @%^ for a shop like that. Actually, I have to say congrats. I know how much time, effort, money it would take for something like that. To me, that indicates the discipline that I frankly sometimes lack. I've seen some of your work, and that discipline is evident there as well. Again, congrats, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the work space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deb59 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 WOW!! What a Great Shop!!! It sure beats the heck out of your basement shop! I'll bet you don't know what to do without ducking your head LOL. I'll bet it's not hard to find Riley when he is not working or in School! I will be over to see it soon - Maybe I can get some space saver ideas!! Looks Great! - Deb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Great looking setup. Much better then my apartment kitchen. The only thing that I would recommend is one or two adjustable height bar stools (Just IMHO). Nice setup with the tools, I like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
