Maybe he just has a proclivity toward small mechanical contraptions...

Well "he" is actually a "she" (born that way, not something I decided to change partway through my life!),  and yes I do have a proclivity toward small, and sometimes not so small, mechanical contraptions!

It's all good, no apology needed.  I'm somewhat used to it since I don't have my gender listed in my profile, and most people expect a tool and machine junkie to be male.  And welcome, btw:)

 Cant help but think of the lesser know Johny Cash song "a girl named Sioux"...

And yes welcome Jake.

OK remember I am the definition of a beginner. I do not even have a stitching clam. I use 2 clamps with 2 pieces of wood.

These pics show my work area, Supply mess on the bed, an overall pic of the 10x12? space

and some shelves with miscellaneous leather and gun stuff

Although I do have a great view to my back yard facing north east. great when I catch the Deer or the Fox

Remember, Whether you think you can, or think you can't. You're Right!

Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.

Shoot man, you're off to a great start. My start was just the kitchen table (in the kitchen).

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.

My start was my kitchen table also, then I just went crazy.

Started on my office desk.  Didn't take long to realize pounding on desk with computer or a card table wasn't going to work.  Moved to garage and things just expanded to fill the space.  

Love seeing the shop photos.  I see a few things I'll need to try.

This is a good looking shop. I wish I had the space for a large cut table. My side cutting takes place on a 1x12 on the floor. And I still don't have enough room to lay it flat.

Hey some of us still use a bag of tools at the kitchen/coffee table, your space looks great to me. 

Although, I'm working on something that I might be able to post on this thread very soon, wheelin' an' dealin' with the wife.
