Just a great topic.. One of the best I have seen on here.  There is so much to be gained from seeing each others workspaces and the ideas generated by that.

 

Thanks again @Mjolnir

Yep, I have been semi motivated to change it all up. I gathered some cabinets from a demo. They are almost ready to install. That will make the wife happy, since they have been in the dining room for a month. I also have plans for a spray booth thanks to an unexpected gift from @Mattsbagger.

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.

Same here, I have been motivated to get some things sorted. Mostly moving out the rubbish so I can actually see my workshop, and set up an area where I can actually work.

Kindest regards

Brian

New addition to my work area from @Gregg From Keystone Sewing a 1541s with a speed reducer. I found a laser on ebay for $18 and had to make a mount, it turned out to work out great.  I just set the laser to what ever line I scribe or right onto the needle.  Next machine I am going to get a bell skiver and an electric edge creaser.  I can't stop buying tools I have an addiction to getting new things.

I love the laser! Can we get a close up of your installation?

So much leather...so little time.

@AdamPCain what is the clamp called, or where does one find one like it? I use a laser to align certain cuts in my wood shop. This is just a great idea for the sewing machine. Thank you for sharing.

I'm not @AdamPCain, but it looks like a security camera mount. We have some similar to this in our warehouse.
