Tell her about all the hi-quality good stuff you will be able to make for her! I am still trying to get some sort of order happening. Sometimes its a temporary table in my lounge room, sometimes I am on my woodwork bench (which has a leaking roof overhead). I will post when I get to a reasonable state of organisation.

Unfortunately my gear is spread around the house in a couple different locations and covered by other tools and clutter. I will get to it, the plans have been made, but these things take time.

Yeah, actually posting pics forced me to realize just how bad I am wasting my space. Hopefully , there is shelving in my future. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather.

Plus it takes away from leather play time (which is always limited due to side work to make ends wave at each other). The ends just never seem to meet anymore.

Members Sledzep01 Posted January 3, 2018 Members Report Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Lets get the honesty out there right now... The pics were taken directly after I created the space. I was jammering on the kitchen table the day before... Yet I had this space with all the furniture and tunes and TV just sitting there. Also, (Ducks head to avoid swipes to back of head) I have a 2 car garage I could use, a 10x16 shed, and a full finished basement with a heavy duty 4x8 table (another thread) Here is my stitching pony and first stitches Its funny, ALL the steps seam like the easy ones on YouTube...

Don't make me show you the stack of 6x1's, 6x2's, 2x4's etc down stairs. Any normal person would have built a stitching pony by now, but are any of us really normal?
