Working In Apartment

[Ellen]

When I first read the thread I thought you were just a hobbyist, are you doing this as a profession?

This is just a thought, as some others are doing this for various business dealings. Rent a storage unit, and use it as a shop space. Some units have power available, and 24 hr access. Does your complex have a rec room? Laundry room?

It's not even close to even a minimal salary, so it still hobby

Maybe if I figure out how to make a functional workshop in my conditions and what else could be made with less dyeing, without hammering and manual molding of heavyweight leather, then I'll get more chances.

I'm in half-size row house (smallest possible), and asked about apartments because my conditions are much closer to them than to detached house in suburbs or farm . I have damp-ish basement, so far riveting and punching is done there, but still so thin walls!

I can't pay for anything else right now, and unlikely storage units have heating, but at least now I could know what could be possible in future, thanks!

"tarp clip" and now I see what you are talking about. I'm amazed I have not run into these before.

Dan, I had seen the photo of a small Japanese leather shop. Two medium sized tables, aquarium, and above them medium sized precut pieces of leather are hung, just like clothes in the closet, tightly one next to another. Pity that I didn't pay attention then to the type of a hanger, something applying even pressure along all side of a leather piece. Could be interesting, but unlikely readily available here.

Just a thought.

I order 20 of the rhino brand clips for under $40 shipped. Granted that's not as cheap as a clothespin but you could use them to create a hanger system like you describe.
