It's a mess. come on Mutt. the mess is the best part.

Members OLDNSLOW Posted December 14, 2017 Members Report Posted December 14, 2017 sorry looks like I have to do this in 3 steps I didn't resize. Quote
Members OLDNSLOW Posted December 14, 2017 Members Report Posted December 14, 2017 last one sorry again. Just a note about these tables, they were all built relatively tall due to my back problems, I cant stay bent over for a long period of time so this allows me to stand more upright and do my work. its a mess but it is mine and I get stuff done in it, and can even pull the nose of a car or pick up if we need to do a brake job. I got more scars on my arms and hands and oh one other thing I did that this just made me think of, when I was a kid I went up to San Jose Ca and was working as a roofer with my cousin, and I was splitting a wooden shingle those type of roofs were big back in the day, well I miss while using a roofers hatchet and plumb near cut me left index finger off. Then one year after getting married I had bought one of those nice buck knives and was drunker than a skunk while sharpening it and well your guessed it, I slipped and I durn near cut my left thumb off, it was all the way through the tendon so a special surgeon had to come in and sew it all together, along with all the scars from sticking my arms in engine compartments then pulling them out to have blood running everywhere. the there was the time I fractured my right thumb, I hadn't stolen my daddies cue, I had one of my own from when I was 14 on but that is another story, but all true. so far I have only stuck myself with one of those real pointed little burnishing tools that goes on a dremel. If you can see it on the far side of the middle table I have a drop down cord that powers the dremel that sits under the table, well I was in a hurry one day and was walking around the table and that this stuck me right in the gut, I had to pull it out and live with the scar. And then there was a time when I slammed may open hand down on a upward pointing fork and the tine went straight in to my had hand, all true stuff. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 Dang, no wonder you're oldnslow. That's a lot of bad injuries. I just have two broken feet, a bad lower back, and pain in every joint. Since Old was willing to step up I guess I will too. Be back in a few with some resized pics.

Rossr Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 Part of my shop this is where I do my tooling work. I occupy the basement Quote
garypl Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 I share my leather work area with woodworking tools, so it is a pain switching from one to the other. I keep sewing machine in a separate clean room where I also store leather. There is never enough space for everything! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
bikermutt07 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 Ok here it is. It's a mess. But it's mine. This is where the magic happens. This is a 32x60 steel school desk I picked up for twenty bucks. Currently working on a growler prototype. This is my splitting and burnishing area to the right of the desk. Here is my sewing area. I move the press to the desk when I need to set snaps. More to follow. 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....
