How about Pictures of Your Workshops

Recommended Posts

So this is where those masterpieces are turned out. I'd like to have just a little of the mojo those tools must have. Nice lay out friend.

Thanks Dually! :blush:

Leatherworkers are fascinating creatures.

I can't sleep so I'm roaming around online. :coffeecomp: No pics of my old room but I'm eager to get into a new place. You fellas with the dedicated outbuildings and shops, I'm totally jealous!

Quick question for those in garage space, is it climate controlled? My concern with using some garage space is humidity/temperatures effecting the leather/finish if I were to leave items in the garage regularly. Any advice? Our garage is definitely an active working one in regards to vehicles, motorcycles and tools. For lack of a better way to describe it, I'd hate to 'dirty up the leather' with any garage contaminants.

Mark,

LOL here. I use a tracing box like yours at work too. There was a spare in a corner at work that made it to my office. Nice neat layout you have there.

Wow... I am in awe of some of the workbenches/spaces that I've seen in this thread thus far... I'm suddenly having dreams of building my own building and outfitting it with all the stuff I could ever use (and a bunch of stuff I never would)...

But that's ok. For now, I'll just stick with the kitchen bar, since it's been working pretty well for me... :)

Bits and pieces container... Buckles, Thread, Needles, etc...

Custom Skiving Knife, Strap Cutter, Custom Micarta Mallet, Tools Holder (UHMW), Stamps and more Stamps...

My current stamp collection (which is steadily growing... I love finding the old steel craftool stamps on eBay, instead of the plated Taiwan stuff)

Dyes, FInishes, Miscellany, Sharkskin, Snakeskin, etc...

Under the table storage for leather scraps and pieces... Plus, I've got a dining room table that holds my rolled leather and other odds and ends... Too messy to take a pic of it though, lol...

God Bless.

Space is at a premium here. Shooting and leather work must share the same room. I designed my homemade furniture to fold up, retract or be removable when not in use. Not much veg-tan leather is visible. It is kept, rolled, in wooden boxes with lids, so that it does not darken with UV exposure.

I just reorganized my shop today. I think it's a bit more functional, but we'll see once I am inspired enough to go do something! I still have crap everywhere, so please excuse the dust.

Nice setup , you must have a fortune in Skivers etc on the wall.......

I like the wood in the house above your workbench.... different to the old Australian tin roof houses here...

Would love to get some of your cool weather instead of 34 deg celcius every day of the year except when it is raining weather

it gets right down to about 27 c then heh heh

Regards Terry

Thank you, Terry.

It is an old loghouse that I bought 15 years ago, disassembled, moved and rebuilt on my backyard.

A couple of months ago I stumbled on a big lot of Gomph tools at a price I couldn´t resist so now I have more handtools than I actually need.

As for cool weather, today we have more than we need, 25 celcius below, so if it would be possible I´d be glad to share some cold air and snow with you - for free!

Some more pics from my shop:

The log cabin in snow, ( It was meant to be a guest house). 7" timber walls + 4" insulation, 12" insulation in the roof. Pine board floor, ceiling and walls, electric heating. A cosy winter den.

The tooling bench, with a 4" headstone recessed into the table top. Under the headstone is a bench made of 4" lumber, glued and bolted together and with metal legs. The bench is recoil- and break free !

My Adler 205-374 with needle positioning device and a stand I made myself for this heavy piece of iron.

Finally a Juki LU-63 with needle positioning device.
