Very Nice KT!
I need to go that route, and get my tools all up out of the way and wall mounted like that. Would make it much easier to find them in the clutter, and also keep them sharper.

I really need to come up with a better way of storing my rolls of patterns. Maybe a wine rack type shelf, or a leather bound pattern book......hmmmmm.

Dang KT that's cleaner than our hospital! And bigger than my house

I think we should have a pouch off

[rebsr52339]

Being the old man I am I have had plenty of time to add a lot of "stuff" to my shop. I live in the country and my workshop is a block building about 28 x 32 feet. The area where I do my engraving is where I do some leather work.

KT, that's a nice set up you've got there. I collect things too, but not intentionally 

You guys inspired me to clean up my shop. The house came with a laundry room, complete with cabinets and a deep sink, so I share my space with a washer and dryer. I have a good sized bench in the garage with a drill press and a couple of grinders, and a covered patio right outside the door with a large table for cutting. Now if I could just get something accomplished!

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

I'm envious of you guys. Looks like I have to start from scratch.
I'm working on mine as we speak.




My favorite finish screw.





Drawer backs and fronts being sanded.








1/4 in Router bit for the drawer side groove.






Drawer Sides with the groove cut for the drawer bottom.



So here I am making these up out of Baltic Birch.






































The Maple Drawer Fronts come next.

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

84 pounds of drawer pulls so far. At least that's what the boxes all said.



Here are the drawers with pilot holes drilled ready to accept the maple drawer front and 24 inch stainless steel handles.

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

Wheels for the maple top work tables.






Then 3 of these 5 foot tall storage cabinets











These will have 10 drawers in them.





8-30 X 30's all together. These are portable so to spend summers up north and winters down south.  

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

I long for this type of organization. 

[DUKE DEADEYE NUKEM]

Another mess KT

This is really nice!!!  

[KidTerico]

You pards have some very nice shops out there. Sure make doing leather work more fun. KT

[rebsr52339]

My father always said, "Son, sit on the floor to work. When you drop something, you won't have so far to look". Good advice.

[JD Alan]

Yeah, but then you to get up off the floor! Gettin down there is one thing, gettin up is another

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

WOW, I'm impressed, you pards have put together some very nice shops and work areas, it's nice to have a place all your own to do the things we like doing, having your tools at hand makes working so much more enjoyable and having room to work in is even better.

                                    My Hat's off to all of you

JD I have no problem getting down there as short as  I am. KT

[ChuckBurrows]

For those who have one or the other of my DVDs you've seen my "shop" which consists of a work table in a corner of our living room and a small ( 8' x 12') spare room that is for the dirty work  - yep it would be nice to have more apace but like Maria Muldaur once sang " it ain't the m--t it's the motion" that counts....

PS for those who have seen my Sheath DVD - that's the most often I have ever said booger it up in my life - reckon that's what they call "method acting"       

[JD Alan]

Bowie Knife Dick, you've got a real nice shop there, kinda reminds me of what I believe Slowhand Bob has.

Duke, that's quite a cabinet shop you've got there, and very nice work. If your leather work turns out anything like your wood work, your going to be rockin!

Cowboy 316, your sure put out a lot of quality stuff for such a small area, very efficient.

KT, with the back & knees acting up, I have to circle like an old dog lying down when I get up. I'm on the floor twice a day doing stretches and back exercises so I can keep moving at all

Chuck, I would feel right at home there I've watched your DVD so many times! Maria Muldar, now there's a woman with a voice! With Amos Garrett on guitar it was a combo hard to beat.
