Members Ran Posted December 1, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 1, 2012 Nice shop! Very similar to our woodworking shop. Looks like you're using your assembly/sanding table for your leather work now? One plus is you have plenty of lighting! Thanks Benlilly. I built the shop myself two year ago and made sure to install ample lighting. My assembly table is one of my most used tools and many of my woodworking tools are used in leatherworking. Heck, I even set up my lathe as a burnisher... Quote
Trox Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 A very light and clean work shop, I wish I had all that empty space to fill up. I do not have a free spot to hang up a tiny edger in mine, good luck with your new machine. I like those big Cowboy flywheels, Hi Bob, remember to tell me when you get them in stock again. I do not know if I really need one, but I want one anyway.

Its a multi-use shop wherein I can drive my Polaris Ranger inside to work on it, or when I'm bringing in material for a woodworking project, etc. Most of my large and heavy tools are on lockable casters so I can wheel them out when needed, and get them out of the way when not in use (lathe, planer, drum sander, drill press, welder, bandsaw, even the assembly table can be rolled around).

Trox Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Hi Ran, Yes I see. I would too, unfortunately I would need a much bigger workshop to do so. I am dreaming of an bigger shop where I can have a very large workbench in the middle, rooming a full hide cow leather at least. My machines will be surrounding against the walls, tools be hanging on a sealing mounted rack over the work bench (much like a modern kitchen cooking island with a large free hanging damp cap). Light colors and lots of modern lightning. My workshop has been re-modeled every time I have purchased a new machine ( about twelve times), just to get room for more. There is nothing else to do, than to get a bigger shop.

Members Rayban Posted December 5, 2012 Members Report Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Ran, congrats on your new machine...I have it's little brother, the 3500, and the honeymoon is still going strong after almost two years....hey that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean. Try back stitching (in reverse of course) two stitches at your ends and see how you like em.....I say with the work properly glued, the stitch is there forever.
