Re: Shops, tools, materials and tips
There is hardly a day goes by that I don't spend some time in my shop. Repairing, restoring anything that needs fixing but mostly playing with, working on or making knives. Here are some pics of some letter openers I made. I always clamp duplicate parts together for profiling as shown. I try to make some of these letter openers around Christmas time each year. They make good gifts. Handles are ivory, bark ivory, mastodon ivory, stag and stabilized maple. Heat treated 410 Stainless Steel. I do my own heat treating. Leather work too.reddirtknives wrote:Very nice, Great idea making both variable speed for less than 1 machine. I like thrifty, What in the heck are you making with all of that stuff?
I am not sure of the time ratio but for every hour I spend making a mess out of my shop I spend some time trying to clean it up.

If that's little I don't want to see big. Very nice set up!wishful wrote:My little wood shop.
I though my shop was big when I built 10 years ago. It's getting smaller all the time. I think you need more equipment and clutter.

Re: Shops, tools, materials and tips
My experience when it comes to woodshops with lots of open space is that there is some serious work being put out… Usually also means the guys are out on an install and the mess is cleaned up, shop is ready to start mill work for the next house or store,bar etc… One question… Where's all of the lumber?

Re: Shops, tools, materials and tips
btrwtr, I cut the logs on my property and have them sawed by a guy with a portable mill. I use the lumber for various projects, cabinets, etc.

Wishful,
that's a nice stack of cared for lumber. It must be very gratifying to create from your own fallen trees. Good for you.
The one picture shows what must have been a productive milking shed at one time.

Re: Shops, tools, materials and tips
Thank you FRJ. The lumber storage sheds are connected to the shop. You are correct; 50 years ago the sheds were part of our cow stables.

Here's some old pics of my shop. I have since shoe horned in a few more tool boxes, a tig machine, a bandsaw, and a parts washer.

My wife gave me a nice Oregon Ducks football calendar and I don't have enough blank wall space in my shop to hang it!

Re: Shops, tools, materials and tips
New pin stock organizing system. got tired of the pvc pipes getting shifted around, filling with dust, short pieces of pin would disappear into them never to be seen again, materials getting mixed up. This should alleviate all those problems. One box for each material, one box for tubes and one box for big stock for fixed blades. I still need to make labels for each tray, theory is when I can clearly read the label in the bottom of the tray it's time to order more. As you can see I'm low on a lot of stuff, my jantz order is inbound

Re: Shops, tools, materials and tips
I had that on my mind also, Kaleb. Currently, I use those little paper bags that the pin stock comes in, and I write the sizes on them. It's not a good system, though. I don't have an organizer big enough, so I will have to go out and get ones like yours. Nice
