Post your woodwork here

Ok, it is done - but it's not a wallet! In these times, I don't need a wallet at all, or at best one for only a couple of coins.

Yes, the pen was a clue! It holds my sketch book and a couple of essential pens & pencils when I travel. Or perhaps I should say, "when I, hopefully some day, travel again".

So, in the interest of full disclosure, I'll show you the last "before lock-down" picture in the book. Remember, my name is DJR, not Van Gogh or Leonardo, or even Pablo! Luckily, for now at least, I don't have to make my living from either leather goods or art! (Yes, I know the dog looks like a mop that got electrocuted and that there are huge sperm crawling around on the beach!   )

until you said that I would not have thought that ... but "once you see it, you can not un-see it"

That's very neat work DJR, well done. Ever tried your hand at making a leather saddle bag?

No, but I have plans for making something like this. And with my mostly shut down work, I hope to get to it before long. I have everything I need, but it will have to be in black, because I've run out of brown stain.

Are you making these in black ... so essentially formal shoes then!?

That looks very much like a handgun holster, oh ok, now I understand...

We recently moved and I want to do something different with tool storage. In the old house I had it up on the wall. I am now considering one of those mechanic tool cabinets on castors.

 

I'm mainly considering this because I have woodworking, bike and other general tools to store. I don't have much space because I'm sharing a single garage with a car.

 

How are your tools stored and what other options would you recommend?

Formal vellies  I've never made a shoe, but now I'm thinking about it.........

Move car outside.   (Sorry, this lock down thing has made me a bit short on fun entertainment   )

My car is standing outside permanently for the past few months due to the woodwork! 

 

Mr ABrooks, have a look at this idea for small space tools storage:

dammit, now I want to build one. 

 

but its also given me an idea, I have a loooong fold up table that I need to store somewhere, something similar to this will get it up to the roof.

I mostly have mechanics type hand tools - stored mostly in a BIG rollaway - but I also have a few old architects plan cabinets converted to tool storage - 2A0 and A0 size - the only issue with these drawer based solutions are the depth of the drawers for larger tools - few electric hand tools will fit in these.

 

I also have 3 horizontal filing cabinets - these work better for big tool storage, but are super hard to find - either new or second hand.

 

I also have floor to ceiling shelving in 2 garages - this tends to turn messy quickly, but is nice to have and easy to find things - also cheap second hand compared to roll away drawer sets.

I'm subscribed to his channel, pretty cool idea. We are renting so I'm trying to limit holes in the wall.

I have floor to wall steel shelving to store larger items and boxes. I'm specifically looking at a solution to store hand tools in something like a drawer system. The architectural drawers might be an alternative. Those roll away drawers are quite expensive but seem like a worthwhile investment.
