Hey Guys!,

Ok...so here's where it all happens. This is one of my spare bedrooms. I would use my garage but, Truck and Harley would get in the way and besides...I do metal fabrication in there due to having another hobby (I play with 1 1/2" scale trains so I build train cars occasionally). I like using this bedroom as a leather shop primarily because it's an all weather shop...heated and cooled to my liking...and it's not a long walk to the kitchen or the shower. I'm single and live alone so it suits my perfectly. Basically...my entire house is a "Man Cave" and my entire property is "Man Land". What more could I ask for?

Nice setup I almost bought one of those work tables last week, I know what you mean about having more then one hobby.  It seems the older I get the more expensive my hobbies get, photography equipment, high end audio equipment, drones.  I would have to say the only one that can't make me any money is the audio, spending $1500 on a pair of custom earbuds is a little crazy. At least leather working and photography I can recoup some money.

 aren't great for banging on but they are very functional. I want one.

$1500!? "Alexa, is there such a thing as $1500 earbuds?" " Yes. (sexy Alexa voice) they are invisible implants made by Bose in the year 2020."

Ya'll got a shooting range out the back deck? Maybe out to 1000 meters or yards? NOW we're talkin'!!!

So much leather...so little time.

Hey Guys!!,

Yeah!!....I have a pretty good set up...an indoor shop and a garage shop. Both make a little money now and then. As for a shooting range off the back deck....HELL YES! I sit on 10 acres with so many oaks that I can't see my neighbors. The Lowe's work stations are great...storage drawers and some storage above the bench. I like them a lot...you can't go wrong. Oh...and I've beat on mine while setting my maker's mark with a dead blow hammer...so far no splintered table tops. The boots you see are my current inventory of holster making material. The sewing machine is a TechSew 5100...great machine...no problems. The scroll saw that you can barely see is what I use to cut out my patterns out of clear lexan. I spend a lot of time here during cold temps..then out in my garage during the warmer temps. The photo below is what I do in my indoor shop.

I thought those were your holsters I had seen. That is a cool idea Mo. Nice craftsmanship.

They are ciems I called them earbuds since not many people have heard of them, thew are the ear pieces you see singers use on stage.  Audiophiles and people that are into high end equipment love them since they reproduce every frequency very precise, I am happy to say I own 4 different pairs of them.  Here is a link go buy a pair but don't use your phone to play them buy a $3000 lossless mp3 player LOL.  https://www.jhaudio.com/p/layla-custom  To get a pair you need to have the inside of your ear molded because they are custom fit to your ear canal.  Sorry for all the audio talk I get excited about it I am on an audiophile forum when not on this one.

Ah, yes, now I get the idea. Vast quantities. 

So much leather...so little time.
