Members motocouture Posted December 17, 2017 Members Report Posted December 17, 2017 Love this thread! Appreciate everyone sharing their workspaces. Here are a few pics of mine; I work out of a finished basement, which luckily has good natural light. I have three mini-areas - my bench / fabric cutting table, ironing station and sewing table. And furry helpers, who love to slide in under my bench when I’m working. I also have my burnished set up in a corner of the garage The table is an old oak dining table I picked up off Craigslist eons ago, that hubby raised up so that we could fit the filing cabinet underneath (to my left is our home office).

What is the anvil shaped wood thing on the left? P.S. Beautiful dog! Ha true! the wood anvil thing is a slightly esoteric sewing tool. I had that and the two ‘clappers’ made for me out of oak by a local carpenter. The anvil is used for pressing fine points on collars or sleeves, and the clappers are used the beat or ‘clap’ seams after steaming to force the fabric fibers into shape. Turns out all three come surprisingly in handy for leatherwork. And thank you, he’s one of three fluffy helpers Quote

Members KingsCountyLeather Posted December 17, 2017 Members Report Posted December 17, 2017 Mjolnir started this thread from a discussion on another thread, and what a great thread! Its fantastic to see all the different workshops and spaces everyone has. And I have picked up some great ideas to add to my own workshop... Thank you The work space I’m most impressed with so far was on the original thread before this one... and it’s by Joseph1836 I hope he doesn’t mind me posting his work shop here for him. It’s amazing what you can achieve with so little a work shop! please keep posting your work spaces! Quote
