Re: What's on your work bench?

tolex and metal corners hide a multitude of sins. I'm always proud to not use corners for that reason ;) still make the odd fuck up though. Yep, even with the guidance of our upholsterer, I still fudged them.... and then realized it didn't account for the fabric when buying the corners. practice ma...
