Hiding at 7700 foot above sea level in Utah...

I sure hope so. I haven't played with a machine yet, at all.

Hey, speaking of elevation, I got to spend some time in Evanston, Wyoming when I worked on wind turbines. Beautiful out that way.

You ever get out that way again yell at me and I'll come get you for a few beers. I'm about a 30 minute drive from Evanston

I don't work in that industry anymore. It sure was a fun job, though. Thanks.

 @bikermutt07  Is that a wrapped sword above your head board shelf?

Why yes, yes it is. It's a katana I got myself in Wyoming for my birthday. I'm not a hundred percent sure of the quality but it will slice thru a 1 inch sapling. Paid about 150 for it. It's no ancient artifact, but it's not a truck stop sword either. I also have a cold steel hybrid Cutlass and two Hawks tomahawk.

G'Day, 

Well , I finally took a brave step this arvo  and took some pics of my messy workshop, however, I did have a quick clean up before I took them. So here goes * deep breath* . This is my hobby room / workshop .  Each pic is pretty much self explanatory , but feel free to ask  what is what. 

All my hides are on shelves  under the benches, that I got cheap. 

Its carpeted on one side , painted floor on the other. All insulated. TV & stereo in the far corner , and heated with a kero heater . ( the white box on the floor ) . It look a mess, and it is, but I know where everything is....most of the time.     When I win lotto, I'd love to expand, as space is at a prime.

Trust me..that is not messy. I might post some pic's this weekend if I can finally get a day to clean up 6-7 months worth of long production days. I have a pile of scrap leather cutoffs in the corner that has become so large I named it Fred. Fred is about 4 foot tall and 4 foot diameter....On a side note...in the coming months I will be selling a ton of black and brown oil tan in the 6 ounce range.

I should have taken a pic  a few weeks ago when I was knee high in horse rugs, I couldn't  move for rugs. Now that  was messy

I hear ya. I use a maid service for the rest of my house but I don't dare let her in my work areas. Tried it one time for a week and I couldn't find a damn thing. Shop looks like someone airdropped a leather supply business on it where the actual work gets done but I know exactly where everything is. The areas I keep my hides in and supplies is actually fairly organized

Bikermutt07, looks like you are making a great leather working shop.  I enjoy seeing where others do leather work.   

Sheilajeanne,  here is my version of a  dye bottle stabilizer.  Something else to do with scrape leather, it is not guaranteed to work under all circumstances, but you are welcome to use it.    Obviously, you will still get dye all over the outside of the bottle.
