Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted September 6, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 6, 2008 Wow, y'all have workbenches, fair sized tables, even whole ROOMS to work in....I'm jealous. I have half of my 3' diameter dining room table, and several tool boxes things are stored in, and everything....EVERYTHING has to be cleared after use. Otherwise, we have dinner on top of anything leather related that's on the table. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted September 6, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 6, 2008 Oh, nothing wrong with a kitchen table at all....as long as it isn't the ONLY table, and the kids aren't dyeing your leather with tomato sauce.

Members wildrose Posted September 6, 2008 Author Members Report Posted September 6, 2008 I started on a kitchen table in our second apartment. The building's laundry room was below us, and one time when I was pounding away, a fellow came knocking to make sure I was okay...he thought someone was being hurt. But hey, at least he was kind enough to check things out! Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Contributing Member UKRay Posted September 6, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 6, 2008 I started in the cupboard under the stairs... barely enough room to get in there let alone work - I couldn't even think about doing it now...

Members BradB Posted September 6, 2008 Members Report Posted September 6, 2008 Today has been a fairly productive day. A batch of belts, loads of keyfobs and a stack of hair barrettes plus a lovely re-enactor lady who wanted a cloak fastening made just when I was ready to call it a day. My workroom has ended up looking like the pits so I felt obliged to join in this thread... I have to say, it isn't always like this as I do try to tidy up before starting a new job but today I simply haven't had time! Enjoy the mess guys - there is a broom and hoover in there somewhere if you haven't got anything else to do... Wish I had a workshop that size..... I just have 1/3 of a table out in the sunroom..... :-( Quote
