But what I was going to say is Jake you look real familiar to me, are you on one of those fellas on one of those Alaska shows? or were you the guy sticking his head in the door and saying HERE'S JONNY? Nice work on the trappers hat, so you do part and your wife do the other part? have you tried your hand at any Mukluks? All the times I visited Alaska I always wanted to get a pair of Mukluks but never did! nope, never been on any of the unreality shows about Alaska, maybe you saw me in town or something when you were up here last. my wife makes the hats by herself, she dabbles in leather work with me, but is more interested in fur and wool, she loves to make felted items like they do in central Asia and Russia. And one of the things that she makes is felted boots, if you ever get a pair, you won't be interested in mukluks anymore. Her felted boots are just as good or better than any of the commercial mukluks, only the traditional mukluks that are made from seal skin are better. you should check them out on our wordpress page in my signature Quote -Jake North Country Leather and Wool
alpha2 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I got my two sections of rail from a friend that is president of a steel erection company. They have gantries that run on rails. I suppose he had some left over pieces from the installation. Anyway, another place to try to get some rail pieces. Quote So much leather...so little time.

Mjolnir Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Posted January 13, 2018 interlude: I want to thank each and every one of you that have shared your shop on this thread. Thank you sew much! (pun intended). I am new-ish to this hobby and this site. During the past month I've made new friends, I hope. This holiday season was tough for me but you all helped me without knowing it. There is a lot of talent here. The small shops have given me ideas, the large shops have shown me what happens when the whole thing spirals out of control! Beauty can be created in a closet or a loft, a garage, a bedroom, a kitchen or a warehouse! Thanks. P.S. Cleaning your shop may be a nice side effect, but the mess is the best!

alpha2 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Hey! A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind...even more so for a leatherwork table. I'm sure of it. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members battlemunky Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report Posted January 13, 2018 I need to get pics up I suppose. I run a split operation. I have my tooling, cutting, non-smelly stuff inside the spare bedroom (which I share with my wife and her sewing operation) and the dye/glue, smelly/dusty stuff out in the shed. I think it's super cool to see everyone's setup. So many ideas. Quote

Forgive me., but did you scoop everything on your bench into that one box in the middle of your shelf for this pic? I have that exact hammer. did yours rust? also what's the thread thing on the wall? I also haven't seen a wood burner? like that. Quote He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

alpha2 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) When I grow up, I want to be a battlemunky. Whatever that is. I have to believe it would be a resume enhancer! And, I have one of those thread things on my wall, but with Tiger Thread. It's a color chart, with the actual thread... I know it looks like some cut-offs from some ancient Asian's beard, (think Pai Mei, from Kill Bill), but it's not. Edited January 13, 2018 by alpha2 Quote So much leather...so little time.

I am pretty new also my small area I posted a couple pages back and after seeing all these shops I have been inspired to update my area. I also need to make room for a sewing machine and going to get a tool chest and new work table, will post pics when finished. Quote
