So I am now the proud owner of a jeweler's bench. It's the cheap kind but it's real and all mine!
Here are some pics of the process. It was done late Friday night so I decided not to take too many grainy pics to share.
I still have to drill in my flex shaft stand, so for now my flex shaft is on the floor. But after a trip to refill some local stores, it will be installed because I have a lot of work to do this weekend.
These are the pieces, I carried this up my steep flight of stairs by myself. I felt like superwoman last night. Lu is in Mexico visiting family so I had no man power to assist me.
Old Ikea desk that I used as a bench for 3 years! Good times, you can see I am not the neatest metalsmith around.
New set up!!! I still can't decide what to put above my bench. Either peg board or art work....
Flex shaft still on the ground but not for long.
And yes I work on carpet because I live in an apartment in LA.
But I put this rug down to protect the real carpet.
Sometime I will get a mat.
