DoubleC Report post Posted August 12, 2012 I just finished moving so I could have a workshop, and OMG what a shop it is ? Took a spare room in the new apt. and it has my bench (old industrial metal desk) for tooling and cutting, a wardrobe for projects I'm working on to store in between steps, a sewing machine, an entertainment center that I lined up the hole in the back to the window for my dying and painting, an end table for molding my 'eyes' on, and a metal antique folding shelf with my electric tools on, and an antique trunk to store my leather in. And yup, can still walk through and around it from 'station to station.' And the rest of the apt. is the rest of the way, I can WALK through every room. I may faint from happiness. Pictures tomorrow, too tired today :-) Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greystone Report post Posted August 12, 2012 savor the moment,,, and then think of how to expand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Chavez, I was using my bedroom in the other place, and had to take a running jump to get in bed, LOL. I really am so lucky though, I wish I could give everyone my landlord, and people ducking out of an apartment leaving that kind of stuff behind. And looking at your stuff, it sure looks like you have more room because it's so nice. Cheryl LOL, Greystone, I am way savoring it. I need to get things put away at least before I think of where to expand to :-) Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Great to hear you have a new place, Cheryl! If I may make a suggestion.....get some carpet pad scraps and put under the legs of the metal desk. It'll help prevent the table from resonating through the floor when you tool on it......of course, if you have a large enough chunk of granite/marble, that'll do it too.

DoubleC Report post Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks Mike and Mike. The carpet is a good Idea. I didn't think of that. I was just too excited to finally get my stuff over here. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idlewilder Report post Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I live in Memphis and I'm working on a shop attached to my garage, so the garage is hot and stuffy during the summer and cold, dry and stale during the winter. Do I need to store my unworked leather inside in the air conditioning? Congrats, by the way. I know I'm excited about my shop.

DoubleC Report post Posted August 13, 2012 One guy here at a children's camp was having trouble with his leather molding being stored in a shed. I would store it inside if you have the room. Or just order what you need soon until you see how's it's going to work. I can't say for sure because mines always been inside. You might want to post that in 'how do I do that' and get more responses. And thanks. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
