Members farmersracer Posted January 26, 2018 Members Report Posted January 26, 2018 Hi all Just read all about your inspiring workshops. Went out to my cabin, and as soon as I entered I started laughing. I definitely don't have as many useful crafting tools as I can see in your great workshop. It looks as I spent all my tool money on furniture and interiors - feel like a leather-worker-wannabe. I need MORE TOOLS:) Keep posting workshops please - it is great to see them all. Quote

Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 27, 2018 Members Report Posted January 27, 2018 Lars, you do very well with English! I just checked out your website, and noticed the miniature Swedish flags you sew into the seams of your bags. Nice touch! Quote

On the contrary, a more likely successful business model to have only the specific tools you need to create a fantastic item in a niche market. Nicely done! Love the shop, the website, and the product. YinTx Quote
Members MoRoadglide11 Posted January 27, 2018 Members Report Posted January 27, 2018 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? Quote

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. Quote

Members MoRoadglide11 Posted January 28, 2018 Members Report Posted January 28, 2018 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. Quote

That is a cool idea Mo. Nice craftsmanship. Quote

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. Quote
alpha2 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 Ah, yes, now I get the idea. Vast quantities. Quote

Nice craftsmanship. Hey Mjolnir, The first couple of holster sets, I posted earlier, are mine....I personally have four sets that I've built for myself. I also build holster set for the general public too....I know there's guys and girls who own at least one Model 1911 and are not slaves to fashion! Quote

The odds are in my favor that I ate one of those hamburgers. I have to say, we are from every corner of the globe. Small home shops to industrial. I'm pretty sure I can coat the walls of my house with that pallet of leather. Thank you for sharing! Quote

I do have one of mixed SB Foot sides that arrived and as soon as I can unpack it I may have some good stuff to sell... Woot woot! Quote
Members JD62 Posted January 29, 2018 Members Report Posted January 29, 2018 Hay Mike I have to smile every time you post pics of your warehouse, switch out the leather for exotic wood and it's a dead ringer for the place I worked in years ago. I look forward to your next mixed pallet! Quote
