Wink My Studio

Here are a couple of pictures of my studio. This first picture shows the table where I draw and think, You can see my photo set up on the right.







You can see Steves tool on the bench aong with his sharpening fixture, These windows face south so there is alot of daylight comes in there. I always heard that you should have lite from the north for engraving but I can't turn the house around. I have a separate shop where the knives are made.

Default Re: My Studio

Looks great Neil!

I can see a lot of happy hours right there.

One tip based on the last picture: if you have trouble with your foot pedals trying to slip around, go to the store and get some shelf paper. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $5. It looks like a heavy open weave of rubbery stuff. Cut a chunk and put it under the pedal it will not move around.

Wink Re: My Studio

I don't have any trouble with that. It seems to stay where I put it. The floor is a form of rough Italian tile so that may have something to do with it not moving. On a slick floor it might be a different story.
