In House Work Area

[PensacolaJim]

I am a fair weather crafter.

So I found this roll-top desk and removed the pigeon hole dividers,

cut and drilled 4 x 4's to fill the area.

I marked the tool holders to make it easier to find the tool I need.

I added a light up under and a magnifier light.

The drawers are handy to hold most of my other tools, etc.

Just close the top when company is coming.....LOL

I read on here that some leatherworkers have limited areas to work in.

I thought this idea might help.

I like the way that worked out for you. I had been looking for a roll top desk but everyone wanted a fortune for them. I recently found a hutch the length of my current stamping table and it was FREE! So I picked it up and put a back and installed it today. Now, I have a board to intall my leather strips that will hold my handtools. I think I am going to go with the PVC tool holder idea that was posted up a few months ago on my hutch.

It looks good!

Happy Carving!

That's really nice and neat, Jim. Organized. I quite like the labels you made to make finding the right tool easier.

*is jealous, a little*

My backgrounders and bevelers and suchlike tools are nowhere nearly that organized and easy to find.
