Of course, I am now green with envy, with all your tools and space, I first thought it much too dark, but now see you have ample lighting for when you need it to see your work, I just love your home! I notice you have no place for the powered aspects of leathercraft, keeping to the hand-made basics of the craft aside from tool maintenance. Being a poor man, sewing machines that work with the heavy veg-tan I use mostly, ( holsters, belts & knife sheaths) are far beyond my kitchen-table operation anyway, over here "across the pond".... in short, Mr. Armitage, I love your shop, and your work and style of our Craft. I've learned from your stitching vids, and we are fortunate to have you as an ambassador of sorts for handwork leather crafters everywhere! If I ever hit the lottery, besides building a decent shop I'd love to come to England and take your courses, in person. Cheers, and again thanks for your efforts!
I am a knifemaker and leather worker. The energy in my work environment is very important to me. As you pointed out, it can add or subtract from my mood. You have an absolutely beautiful environment in which to work. Thank you for showing us around.
"ndeed, the hall of an honorable, glorious, and widely renowned king beyond the borders of his land... so would the skalds intone. 👏👏👏👏 Torcs and fridge magnets… nice idea 😜 Man, I like that „cave“ 🙏
I love your space allocation zones. The only thing I would change is making the pieces modular and on wheels to roll through a standard doorway. Holes could be drilled in the sides in order to bolt the pieces together always having the option to unbolt and move them.
Thank you for that. Workshops are like painting the Sydney Harbour bridge never a totally finished project. Just one thing the bench grinders seem to have only 2 polishing wheels, how do you "work through the grits" with 2 wheels?
Itd be great if you took a little inspiration from Adam savage when he focus' on a group/type of tool and the specific application of each one and why without necessarily going into the nitty gritty, which I think would be one ot the better ways to go about the your collection of tools. Also, if people are bringing fridge magnets itd be great for you to have one too!

Nice workshop, well thought through. It clearly shows your handwriting and experience.

What a great place! I have just started leather work. It’s wonderful !
What a wonderful space you have created, such a lovely atmosphere.
It’s come a very long way since I came for tuition in the front room of your house. Well done Nigel

Hi Nigel. I love your new workshop. There is a Phycalogical element in which a nice setting can bring out the best in a person's work.
The best shop I’ve seen 💯💯
Love the atmosphere! 40+ yrs in woodworking, stay creative or starve.
Beautiful work shop😮

Beautiful shop, I bet it smells nice in there. What mops/compound do you have on the polisher for stropping?
