PensacolaJim Report post Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) 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. Jim Edited September 10, 2010 by PensacolaJim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted September 10, 2010 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ann McGrath Report post Posted September 13, 2010 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.
