engraving at the bench

John C · Jul 19, 2010

My friend Lee (Hoglahoo) caught me in my shop on Sunday. He also brought his video camera.
So, for all of ya'll who have been wanting a peek at my workbench, here it is.
Me, actually caught on video doing work.
I'm engraving some screw rivits to be used with some strop mounts.

That bench is in the back of my store. So anyone can walk in and see what I'm working on. I tend to do really delicate work before I open so that I don't have any distractions. :w00t:

I've moved a bench out in my store as well for the same reason, people like to see and "window shop". But boy do I understand the distractions. It can be a pain in the butt when you get into a groove.
