on the bench:

Now that I am living alone again, I will drag the big old ship's hatch cover table in where I can work on this sort of thing right here in the living room.  I will still have projects on the benches in the studios out in the shed, where I just finished installing a little wood burning stove as the electric bill is eating me alive. Sometimes it helps to have it right in front of me 24/7...click pic to biggify
