               You could have fooled me, LOL

Will, back before I ever built my first Muzzleloader, I told someone I didn't have anywhere to build it and they gave me a story about a guy that built award winning rifles under his house. He had actually shoveled out a hole and laid his table top on the ground in the crawl space. I never said I didn't have a place again. My first one was built in the living room floor with the aid of a very understanding and supportive wife.
What more can a man ask for.

I can attest to that GB,i used to do termite work and had to crawl under houses like that.One place was storage and i found all knds of things under there,another was a wine cellar or maybe a still,it was all dug out squares with a bench to sit on and shelves of old bottle and jars on an old farm house,another i found alot of very old beer cans.

Here's three of the five cabinets. Each cabinet gets 10 drawers with casters on all 5 cabinets.
I would have had them all done but I ran out of two part laquer and had to go to Sherwinn Williams today.
The final coat was wet sanded on all sides except for the bottoms. 0000 steel wool was use for the finnaly.
On the floor in the lower left of the pic sits the dedicated leather shop computer.






Same handles on these too.

Well as usual I am late to the ball game. But here's my ahhhh shop. The layout table I traded for a cowboy boot repair. The tooling table is just 4X8 plywood on some water barrels. The tooling stone I traded for a rifle butt cuff. Oh and the shop is the place my car used to live. It not fancy but it works just fine for me.

[Biscuit Joe]

oh i forgot one.

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

And the Cobra 4.

Joe, Did the flat table come with the machine?

Joe, Did the flat table come with the machine?

Yes it was a part of the package I bought.
I don't know if the table comes with the machine as a usual purchase. I bought the machine on a special event sale or something like that.
I only us the table occasionally.  It gets in the way some of the time, but is a great help at other times. it goes off and on  fairy easily.

BTW did you buy your machine yet? I think you said you were going to get a Cobra. But I could have the wrong person.

Thanks a bunch. As soon as the shop cabinets are done Buffalo Barbie and I are driving out and picking one up. He's out of machines at the present though.

yeah,
I had to wait about 1 1/2 months for mine, give or take a few weeks I think. One day I walked in to his shop and he had it full of machines. The next day it was empty. He just can't seem to keep it full. I guess that is good for business, but hard on customers.

Some great shops there Pards..

My problem is I have to many hobbies working out of my shop LOL. We operate a trophy and photography business so I have engravers etc.  and storage for that. We constantly tinker on cars so I have several tools etc for that. I'm an avid hunter shooter fisherman so I have reloading tools etc for that. We do alot of woodworking so I have my saws press's etc. Now many of my tools are multi tasking But I can run out of room quick. Organization is critical but is lacking badly.  is all priceless

Thank you sir. I have all you guys as inspiration on my shop build.

Duke, it's cool to have the split in the center shelf for hanging long stuff. That's a good idea. Looks good.

Thanks Marshal.
That's just a temporary clothes hanger.    The center braces helps maintain the carcass integrity.
All the cabinets each get 10 drawers with maple fronts.
