Elton Joorisity Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 As some of you may know, Candace and I bought a place in May. I told her when we were shopping that it had to have a building on site that would be suitable for my shop. Well...here are a few pics. The shop is 24' X 24' with 10'6" ceilings. I have 14, 4' flourescent fixtures with daybright tubes. You'll notice there are no windows which I would like to have somedays, but really like the fact that people that stop in can't snoop through them to see what's inside for them to steal if they are so inclined!! My cutting table is 8 X 8 and has substantial storage underneath, including a set of blueprint/map drawers for patterns.

Hi Elton, Lucky you! this is a really coool workshop! if it was mine, I would be glued on my sit here forever LOL. I hope you get your windows someday!! When using rubber cement and all sorts of finishes, you would want these done where there is lots and lotsa ventilation! Rhona Baguio, Philippines Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted November 29, 2009 Moderator Report Posted November 29, 2009 Elton, Looks like lots of room. I see you have the cushioned floor squares too. It only took me about 4 years to get mine done. Shop is looking good, and so is the work coming out of it. An eight by eight table is only a dream, WOW.

Members Storm Posted November 29, 2009 Members Report Posted November 29, 2009 Wow! Elton you have one sweet set up there. I am jealous!!! LOL! Like the way you laid it out and the blueprint drawers are inspired. Congrats on the lovely new shop!!! Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
Contributing Member Denise Posted November 29, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted November 29, 2009 Elton, Gorgeous shop. Glad you are all moved in and up and running. I did notice that the name on the pictures is Broken Horn. If that is what you are calling your saddlery, you might have to buy all your trees second hand... Quote
Members Tkleather1 Posted November 29, 2009 Members Report Posted November 29, 2009 Looks real good Elton, Glad to see you have it set up. Where are you gonna put your metal working shop now? I really like how your tool racks turned out. Looks good all the way around. Tim Worley Quote Tim Worley TK-Leather If you don't ask and dont try how are you gonna learn anything?
Ambassador broncobuster Posted November 29, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted November 29, 2009 great looking shop but whats on the other 3 walls lol. Bronc Quote
Members Huntbuck Posted November 29, 2009 Members Report Posted November 29, 2009 sweet setup, would add a vent though... as suggested... makes mine look shabby... good goin! Quote I can do everything through him who gives me strength Philippians 4:13 NIV
Elton Joorisity Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks everyone for the comments. Tim, the metalworking room is to the left of what you see in the 1st pic. To the right is the sewing machine/water cooler/beer fridge wall which also contains the walk in door. Bonnie, the other three walls are nothing exciting except for the things I just described to Tim. One wall has 6' tall shelves containing things that won't be in my shop come spring once I have a shed built to keep them in!!

I only have an extra room in our new /old house we bought in summer 08 this place is a four bedroom home so I got one of the extras. Soon I will finally make this leather room very detailed, I really like your work bench with all the holders very nice and neat Quote Still trying to figure out what is going on out there in the custom/one off world
David Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 Just to let you know, I am officially jealous! Very nice place. Dave Quote

Elton Joorisity Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Posted November 30, 2009 Glad I can make people jealous!!! Yes I made the cinch, actually Candace ties the bodies and I do the diamonds. The carving was done by a friend and fellow L.W. member, Steve Mason. The tv is also a dvd/cd player so there's always entertainment besides the tap tap tap on my stamp rock. I am a full time carpenter, so I hope my wood working skills are decent.

Members Dink Posted December 2, 2009 Members Report Posted December 2, 2009 Elton your shop is great, I just added on to mine also but am not ready to move in yet, I will try to post pics when I do. How wide did you make your work bench? I use plan drawers like you but they are 34"wide and I am wondering if i make my bench that wide if it will limit the available reach to tools on the at back of bench. Congratulations on a great space Dink Quote
