Whats your leather bench look like??

[Dalton Masterson]

Well, to be honest, once I start a project, it gets pretty messy on there. I have been trying to keep stuff put away as soon as I use it, but it doesnt always work.
Go ahead and post Ace!

I finally got some pictures of mine. The basement is kind of a cave.

[Dalton Masterson]

Looks like your bench serves double duty as a loading station too, there Pitspitr!
Is the drop tube for your 45-70? You takin that to the games again?? Cant wait to see ya there in July. Will be fun!
DM

[Pitspitr]

Yep, it does.

And yes the drop tubes are for the BP big bores. I probably won't bring any of the trapdoors or Sharps with me this year. J. Dawg is gong to shoot with us this year, and with the extra guns I'll have to bring for him I don't think there will be much room for more than just a spare Cowboy gun or two. If you come to the Muster in Oct. I'll have them there....

CSG here we come!  WOO WHOOOO!

My work bench (area) is on an old kitchen table out on the back porch... In Phoenix, that means 110 degree temps in the summer and 40's in the winter (occasionally  .... (Keeping wax for thread and such is a chore! I gotta remind myself to take it inside and put it in the fridge!)

I don't have a picture of it, but if you use your imagination, you can create a good mental picture... a kitchen table that has a table top drill press on the far right side and looks as if a grenade went off on the left side... 

I'm sorry, I thought I heard some one mention MOTORCYCLES in a previous post... 

I have two.. a 2007 HD Peace Officer Edition Road King and a 2005 HD C.V.O. Soft Tail....

I often say, and am often reminded that I have a VERY Understanding Wife.... (who won't learn to ride, but likes the back seat.)

As far as leather work for the bike goes... I have made my wife a couple of hair ties and that's about it... I haven't the need for much in the way of leather for my bilkes (as you can see by the pictures, both have saddle bags.), and I don't deal with leather that is thin enough to be used for clothing. I have thought about making my own chaps on several occasions, but until I get my self a sewing machine that is capable of leather sewing, I don't see myself trying it.... (That's ALOT of hand sewing.....)

Hi All,
Right now my shop has to do double duty so my "leather bench" is also my "wood bench". As I do more leatherwork and less woodwork, the leather gets more priority. I envy you folks that have a dedicated setup.

    Nice shop Jim, looks like you've been doing this for a while, and that red cushion remines of John Waynes in The Shootest,

                                                                   Thanks for sharing

Good lookin bikes, Marshal Tac. Thanks for the links.

I like your workspace, Jim. Those pillows look like they'll do the job.

Come on you guys give him a break on his red pillow.  Its not exactly the same(no tassles) but if he got it where duke got his,  I wouldnt mind having one myself!(  I believe it was a house of ill repute in Creed, Colorado.)

A pillow? Or a house in Creed?

[Dr. Bob]

YES!!!!  

[Ace Lungger]

 :)Jim, AWESOME shop, mine was that clean the day after I built it and it will never be the same again

Thanks for the look

Hey! I like my little red pillow, It's helped me through some "hard times". I thought about suggesting one on the money belt thread but realized they were looking for something else.

Thanks for the complements on my shop. I do try to keep it pretty clean, mostly because I hate hunting for tools. Also, here in Oregon we have mandatory fire inspections and I've found it a lot easier to sweep the floor and pick up once in a while than to loose two weeks getting ready for the fire dept.

[kid sheleen]

Mostly the pillow!
the house in creed would be too much like work!

[Johnny McCrae]

My bride helped me clean up and repaint our basement so I could redo my workshop. I bought an Orbital sander mainly for making grips but I'll try it out on leather also.

Special Thanks go to Ten Wolves for his input and suggestions on this project.

Now it's time to go to work!

[Johnny McCrae]

Here are two more pictures...

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That looks like a great work space. Thanks for the pics. Congrats.

      Will Johnny it looks great, you and the Bride did bang up job putting this together, I know you will get a ton of enjoyment out of it, I also know you went to get some leather today, so you should be ready to get it going by tomorrow, unless you take the Forth off, and you do a little fishing and then a little BBQ, sounds good don't it, I'll be right over, LOL

                                    Best Regards Pal

Hi John, nice work on the shop. It looks familiar! Oh yeah, the DVD you so kindly sent me! JD

[GunClick Rick]

I used this desk for 20 years, now it just holds tools and my laptop. I do most of my tooling on one of the
class tables now.

HEEEY,that's my dads old office desk from the Beacon gas station

[GunClick Rick]

My bench looks just like my cousins upholstry shop HEY CUZZ you busy?

[cowboywc]

No, no, no! That's not a leather shop, that's an operating room! It's too clean.....

Hey pards, you're prettying up your work area for the camera. Now let's have some pix of what that bench really looks like. 

[santee]

Nice, Johnny.

[WaddWatsonEllis]

My immediate, tongue in cheek answer is that it looks very much like my woodworking bench, which looks very much like my electrical repair bench, which looks very much like my plumbing repair bench ... cause its all four ... LOL
