I am trying to put together an area specifically for all my archery needs . So I was wondering If other members would photograph their workstations ,one to help me and others but also I like to see the enginuity of people. I have always been amazed at the variations in the solutions to a similer problem.

Its in one corner of my shed a 50'x30',the only problem I have is that I can get enough time to spend there

Gee Stace that is just too pretty.

Going by the number of tape measures you must be a bit of a stickler for getting your measurements right huh?

Some photos of my workshop were in my bow build a long. I dare not take a photo of it at present as it is full of my son's motorcycle stuff.

I had the idea for this thread after the love of my life went ballistic over the different archery gear in nearly every room ( as well as something in the dishwasher

) so I need to localise may activities.
You wouldn't be a chippy would you stace.
When I was Gyprocking if you got a nick in your tape it generaly cut you a couple of times before you pelted it .

hey stace do you have a tape measure fettish ?

hellier · #11 Post by **hellier** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:25 am

The old adage measure it twice and cut it once comes to mind....

but seriously I'm jealous of a work area like that....

I'm jealous too. My workstation:

An old school desk with a dying particle board top, under an apple tree in my back yard. When I'm tillering out comes the shaving horse. It's fantastic in summer and whenever it's sunny, but it's not a lot of fun when the weather is miserable.

Erron's seen it, he'll tell you just how modest it is.

I've got a nice big shed that I could use, but I prefer to do my cresting on the kitchen table and fletching in the bedroom, I've always done it that way, actually it's probably because the light is better in the house (the shed is pretty dark and cold). I do my staining and clear laquering in the shed though. The family is used to have archery bits and pieces laying around everywhere.

mate I fill my dazes in as a destitute DRY LININGS(gyprocker)PLASTERER
So that should explains the number of tapes with a nick in them .The nick is usually down under the 1350mm mark, so the tapes are still quite good otherwise and you know how it is you always seem to lose the things.
I have a 15m range setup in the corner on the right of pic up at eye level which is handy as well
cheers

Your place is to neat and clean for a Plasterer, should have white powder all over it.
