Stevesleather Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Here are a few pictures of a workbench I commandeered when we moved into our home about 8 years ago...we have a concrete basement- unfinished...and I set up shop next to the sump pump....the furnace was too dangerous for my Fiebings...I don't have a lot of tools....but I have learned to stick to the basics....

Bryan Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Looks good. I can't wait til I have the room to build an actual work bench. I've got to use the kitchen table; lucky my wife is pretty tolerant of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bar C Leather Report post Posted October 12, 2009 Ahhh... I definitely don't miss working on half a desk in front of my computer!! Shifted my small office around several times until I couldn't cram it all in there any more!! Now I take up about 1/4 of an oversized 2 car garage (and still a little cramped at times). Thank goodness my husband likes to frequent auctions as he aquired some GREAT old school tables (old, sturdy, good-for-pounding, biology class style tables) for cheap. I still dream of the day I become profitable enough for a setup like Al Stohlman!! You've got a nice little set up, I wish I could keep it simple. Seems like I just keep adding and expanding, although making it a business changes a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdkid Report post Posted November 11, 2009 Its not where you're at, but rather what you do when your there. Looks like a great place to lose track of time and enjoy yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelhawk Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I hear ya Bryan. I also have to use the kitchen table for a work bench; My wife was tolerant until I spilt a 4oz bottle of medium brown dye on the floor.oops. You did that, too. Mine was on carpet. I said some bad words as I saw that bottle flying off the table. The stain is still there. I don't think it will ever come out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin29 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 Yeah Mine was on carpet also. We live in an apartment and the dining room is carpeted. My wife scrubbed it with "Awesome" from the dollar store and got the stains out, Thank God I would hate to lose my security deposit. I could buy a lot of leather with that money.
