Work Shop / Knife Store / Hobby Area

I have seen some pictures in different threads of Member's work areas/shops where they work on knives, etc.
Additionally there may be some, like me, that have not figured out what retirement means at 69 years young.
Thought this may make an interesting topic, seeing we all have different occupational backgrounds and hobbies other than knives.
If you want to show off your knife work area, work shop, hobby area, or where you are still laboring in a trade, profession, or business,
please post!


Here are a few pics of my humble little knife/sporting goods store and boat, furniture, and motorcycle upholstery shop.
I will post more pics later ... these photos are mostly the store part in one corner, also showing my sewing machine, bow press,
and upholstery swatch board. As you can see, I make every foot of space count for something.

Good grief Tony, I could spend 24x7 in that "shop" and how did you get your hands on a Cabela's safe that big. :shock:
I actually have a new safe being delivered tomorrow or the next day, but it's only 5.1 CuFt and it's not Cabela's.
I'll take some new pictures of my little "shop" and post them in the next couple of days ::tear::

Thanks David! I got that safe 4 years ago, when Cabela's was running a sale. I have another safe in another part of the shop,
which is better built than that one, purchased used. I will post it later.
L@@king forward to seeing your shop! ::nod:: Woodworking has always been something I like to do, when time allows.

Thanks OC! ::handshake:: Case Knives are missing from my stock currently. They are THE knife most wanted in my part of the country.
Some day, I want to add wall shelving between the wood cabinets behind to bow press, to further organize and declutter.

Many thanks Treefarmer! What I need is to add a big rack of antlers this fall, like the ones you have been posting in the "Outdoorsman's Thread".
The "Big One" has been eluding me for years ::teary_eyes::

Looks like you are not only well organized but well stocked too. Looks like a shop where I'd spend way too much time and money.

That's a great space. I have to do my work on the dining room table on a big tray with newspapers underneath! Here are a couple shots of the Knife Cave which is just about out of space and we're probably going to move and downsize, so get ready for a sale. J.O'.

Well photography is not one of my talents Tony but here are a few pic's of my work area in the garage. Wish I had a separate building but that's not happening any time soon. I don't do a lot of wood working on large pieces so I don't need the big table saw, router and other big tools.
