Last burst of fire before I go for reservist..
bro your work is really F**king good. If i got spare monies that white one would be gone.

Actually my dyes, finishes, and all my hardware are still kept in the room. No more space here. But yes, at least the glue, and thinner is out here.
But actually smell was never a problem, noise and leather dust is worse. Over here, I don't have to clean up so thoroughly once I'm done for the day.
Pony is from Tandy. Needed some modifications on the tightening screws before it could work properly. But what to expect for US$20.. haha...

Leather dust is a pain. Some more when weather is hot ill have to turn on the fan and the dust will fly everywhere. Sometimes I do until late at night too tired to sweep end up just sleep with the dust

Haha ive stabbed myself a couple of times with the awl while working late at night before. Got 1 time not so lucky some blood fell on to the piece I was working on.
Heh why not? Ive been wanting to show how makeshift my workspace is , so here goes
Its relatively cleaner now, cause I just finished something and tidied up. When i'm working on something the stuff are just all over the place
My "stitching pony". Not exactly a very good one. Doesn't clamp well a lot of times, and the thread tends to get caught up with the clamp while stitching. Maybe when I have time in the future ill put together a better one. Sometimes I just use my knees, as you suggested last time.
Some of the less used stuff chucked in a box behind
I so need a sturdier table. Its incredibly difficult to set stuff with it. And it makes hell lot of noise, especially when setting copper rivets which needs loads of hammering. Sometimes I just bring my pieces outside to set.
Anyway good luck for reservice and for your job! I'm sure you will have spare time to churn out 1 or 2 stuff every now and then in the future?
My old work space also had alot of bounce in the surface, so I had to set snaps, rivets, etc on the floor.
My current one is actually an old Singer sewing machine bed, with a marble slab on top. But it is too small to do cutting, so I do that on an adjacent long table beside it.
One solution for you is to get a stone slab, propped by a few bricks, just beside your current table. You get can then just swing to the side to do punching holes, setting, on the slab, then go back to the table for other stuff. So you need not run in and out..
Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure if my room still has space for bricks. And ill need to find bricks and a flat stone slab first.
By the way did you ship in your marble slab, or did you get a scrap from one of the local companies?
