Mjolnir Posted December 13, 2017 Report Posted December 13, 2017 In my case it's just a bench but I love my bench. It's in a corner of my greatroom. I like catching glimpses of workspaces.

Members Wedgetail Posted December 14, 2017 Members Report Posted December 14, 2017 Maybe I will take some stills after this christmas when I do my big tidy up and reorganise But in the meantime, you can see mine being built in my "operation wedgetail nest" vlog on youtube! Channel is called wedgetail leather. Project follows getting a shed built, so if you're not interested in that, or in me building storage shelving etc. Then probably the last couple of vids in the series would be the best starting point. I also have some quick tips and a couple of tutorials on that channel for anyone interested in the most basic basics of leathercrafting... I'm no pro, that's for sure. Quote

Members OLDNSLOW Posted December 14, 2017 Members Report Posted December 14, 2017 Picture this, a 2 car garage with tables almost all the way around the walls, a big table smack dab if the middle, the cobra 4 and a cobra splitter sitting side by side 2/3 the way back, sanders, drill press, reloading area, vacuum table a general catch all table that I could stand if front of looking for stuff for a few minutes. and I not find it on the afore mention table look at one of the others, a tool box, but the tools are scattered, a small cart that holds the blue guns and those plastic bins with small parts. And if the small parts cant be found on the small cart go back to looking at the big table in the middle, the big table is set up on one side for cutting and tooling with a harbor press one ton sitting of the one end, the other side is a gluing station, on one other end of the big table is my knife sharpening area, on the side where the cutting and tooling is, is also the dying area in addition to an area with cardboard taped to a wall for air brushing. the some of the walls have grandkids bikes hanging from right now in addition to a (V Twin were babysitting for one of the deputies here is town suppose to be gone in a few days). I know where everything is or suppose to be so I don't go plunging my hands into areas that are suppose to have sharp objects there. Just my little part of heaven no photos, no dots, no comms, right now just face book and a lot of leg work to grow it. Quote

The best stitching clam I’ve come across is made by a French guy, but I don’t he’s making them now because of bad health... I notice that Nigel Armitage bought one. Quote

Ain't you the one always telling me "if there isn't a picture, it didn't happen."? Lol Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
