 Hello All I'm Rob, live in northern California (San Rafael area). Finally retired and getting the time I always wanted to whittle and carve. Just wanted to into myself to you and ask if anyone has a .jpg of their work area. I want to set up something workable that's not in the wife's way of her crafts LOL. I would appreciate any ideas or links or ? Thanks, Rob Paynter (BajaRob)  |

 Re: Hello All Hi Rob, welcome to the group, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here, great bunch of people. I'm up here in Ontario Canada and I have a small 10 x 10 computer room that I use for all my carving and painting needs. I have a great wood working shop in the basement but was forced up here due to recent hip replacement and couldn't use the stairs. This was to be a temp location but have decided to stay now that I'm up here,I only carve small figures so it works for me. I bought one of those wood carver aprons and I pin it to the window cell and all the chips land in it and then I dump it out, keeps the wife off my back. I carve in front of the computer and then have a small desk behind me where I can do the painting. Sorry I don't have a pic, but it works real well and takes very little space. For sawing and so on I still use the basement but you realy only need a small corner to actually do the carving. Hope this helps, good luck. Cliff |

| Re: Hello All Hello Rob, welcome to the site, lots of good people and information here. My workshop is outside, we also have a work area up stairs in our house, a large room where my wife and I work, she quilts and I do my burning and painting there. I do my wood working or carving in the shop as the dust is impossible to control, working in the house. There is a Thread, in Wood Carving Tips and Techniques about tool racks. Scroll down on the main page, Click on "Woodrving Tips and Techniques". On the page that comes up there is a thread titled, show me me your Tool Rack. Hope this helps.
