The workshop looks fantastic, Ian. A lot of hard work went into the final product and you should be proud. I have been watching you from day 1 and it's been a pleasure witnessing you grow into a fine young man and a true leather artist. There was literally no one creating videos on TH-cam regarding leather craft save one young fella from Leeds, and he would unknowingly start a revolution and possibly revive an almost long forgotten craft and skill. Leather working was huge back in the 70's (it was a hippie thing, I was a kid) but slowly started to wain except for the traditional cowboy/ranch work necessities. I'm glad you helped bring it back and have done so with such class and precision learning along the way. You do that with everything you do- which is why no matter what projects you have, they'll be watched. So, get in that garage when you're rested and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Woodworking is my other favorite subject to watch on TH-cam and one of my hobbies. Congrats on all your successes, young sir, and wishing the same for you in the future. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones from across the pond in Texas, USA. Troy
I fully agree! Ian, you were and still are a great inspiration to so many of us. I came to leatherworking via knifemaking when I needed information on how to make sheaths, and I found such a great source of information and learning from your videos. Heartfelt thanks and best wishes from Austria. Keep the spirit up!
Congratulations on finishing your new workshop! It looks great and I can't wait for first leather crafting video :-) Also, let me thank you for sharing all of the process, and, obviously, invaluable leather working knowledge. You are an inspiration :-)
The workshop turned out really nice Ian! I've been following the whole process and I really enjoyed watching it! Really happy for you that's it's (nearly) finished and I'm really looking forward to the woodworking workshop series! Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023! ;)
Having set up several leathercrafting shops when I had my own business, I must say I am impressed with your shop. Well organized and convenient. I'm so looking forward to seeing your future leather projects!
I recognized the Ansel Adams pictures right away. I have the middel one as a print. Unfortunatel not an original but made from his students made from the original negative. No I am not super rich. It was sold for a reasonable price at the Yosemite gift shop. They had a special Ansel Adams section there. Your shop is quite well thought through.
Thank you for the tour, glad you're all set up and can make as you fancy now. Looking forward to the garage workshop series. Have a lovely Christmas break
Thanks for showing the finished article Ian. It's a very functional set up. I have a large woodworking workshop and my leatherwork is undertaken at a very large kitchen table. This gives me great ideas to make that more functional.
Love your new shop Ian! My shop is crammed into a shed in the back yard. Small and cozy. I just finished a tool board based on the design from your video. The templates you provide in the pdf were so handy for drilling the wood and punching the leather. Thank you for providing that.
Very nice leather workshop😃 I make customs knives and my customers want nice thick leather sheaths So I’m learning how to work with leather and having fun Congratulations on your new workshop
You've done a great job there. I am not jealous at all. Well, maybe a little bit jealous. OK, I'm consumed by workspace envy right now. But I'll get over it eventually. Have a great Christmas and New Year Ian.
The workshop looks wonderful. Your videos have been brilliant and so useful to many people crafting leather over the years, so we are looking forwards to seeing more now you have a good base. The future for you and your work is looking good 👍
Just wanted to say thank you very much for your videos I just made my first knife sheath and it came out really good thanks to your advice and clear cut presentation.
its wonderful! im so glad to see you have it done. i still dont really understand home selling/buying in UK lol...im a big fan of ansel adams too, my start in photographer. look forward to seeing your future projects. congrats on your new space, tfs:)
The workshop is looking really good Ian and thanks for giving us the tour. I've got some really great ideas for the bookbinding workshop I want to create (especially the lighting and flooring). That engineers tool chest is a beauty - I'll need to keep an eye out for one (or more!). One of the things I really enjoy about your videos is that you give us your reasoning for doing things a certain way. For instance deciding to keep a lot of the layout exactly the same as your old workshop due to your sight issues or the way you re-jigged the electrics without having to start cutting holes in walls/ceilings. Hope you have a great christmas & new year 🎄🍷🍺
I am looking forward to the videos you hinted at due for the new year. Have a wonderful Christmas 2022. Any plans for a cylindrical shoe polish kit case?
I'd like a look at how you handle stamp storage, assuming you have a decent amount. I've got a bunch just rattling around in a drawer and I'm looking for something better.
I have some foam board that I cut to the shape of my drawer. I then drilled out holes the same width as the base of my stamps in the foam board. No rattle, cheap, and looks professional. Hope this helps.
Hello i am your fan for a long long time i want to know if i can use a 4 mm pricking chisel prongs for punching a wallet any other small diys.is it ok or would it wd look odd for bigenners.please do respond i was getting into leather so i had to ask
In this video I'm giving you a tour of the completed workshop which you have seen go together in the previous weeks, I hope you like it!

Looks great! Thank you for sharing the whole build and the final outcome too. Mary Christmas!
Still here since 2013. Watched you and Tandy videos. Couldnt find anything else. How things have changed. Love the workshop

Well done Ian it looks like a lovely space to work in. May I ask what cutting mats you have please as I'm fed up with my green ones.
Hi Ron it's these ones, I much prefer them to the standard green amzn.to/3Jzw8I2
@@Leodis.Leather Thanks Ian.
Love the tour! Thanks!🎄
Happy Christmas.
Love your channel
I am looking forward to the videos you hinted at due for the new year. Have a wonderful Christmas 2022. Any plans for a cylindrical shoe polish kit case?
Well done. What is your leather storage in the new shop?
I'd like a look at how you handle stamp storage, assuming you have a decent amount. I've got a bunch just rattling around in a drawer and I'm looking for something better.
I use a 4x4 piece of scrap lumber with holes drilled in it. 2x4 will work.
I have some foam board that I cut to the shape of my drawer. I then drilled out holes the same width as the base of my stamps in the foam board. No rattle, cheap, and looks professional. Hope this helps.
