Thank you everyone for sharing. So, now I've decided that I "need" a dedicated leather workspace of my own, so I gave away my old recliner and set up a table in the corner of my living room by the wood stove. That was my beer drinking recliner! Quote

Congratulations Jake on taking your first step to a dedicated workspace! That table doesn’t look stiff enough to pound on though - where do you do stamping, rivet setting and other activities that require a very solid surface? (Also, coming from someone in Georgia, I don’t think I could handle the cold up there!) Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Gary Thank you, It actually does surprisingly well, probably because I use a small sheet of 3/4" steel when I set rivets or stamps. P.S.

alpha2 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Right! Somewhere near Cicely, Alaska. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted January 11, 2018 Members Report Posted January 11, 2018 A little different perspective on what the shop looks like right now. Still have some of the bigger machines to move, I just have to find a day when at least two of my boys can help at the same time. It's a huge job to get everything set up and organized. Quote

When you run across that 3rd 6" cowboy hand crank splitter you didn't know you had, think of me. Lol. That is quite an undertaking. Keep up the good work. I'm sure you will get it all in place, eventually. 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.

Will do, I've got two, although they're either American or Landis, I never can remember, so we're 2/3 of the way there. Lol. I can't believe how much I've forgotten I had. There are at least 3 more draw gauges than what are in the picture. Out of all of them, there are really only two that I like to use. Funny how we get used to the feel of a certain tool, and prefer that over others, kind of like my round knives. I'll get a picture of them also when I get them all in one place. Quote

Wow, I have forgotten having a thing or two in my day, but I have never re-bought an item 8 times. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather.
