Here’s a pic of my station. It spends most of it’s time on the coffee table in the basement family room. I worked on it off and on for about three months. The good thing about having a woodworking hobby and a fly tying hobby is that I can make something useful for myself. The bad thing is that I have to split my spare time between the two so I’m not as good as I’d like to be at either. :wallbash:

That’s nice work scud. One of these days I’ll have enough guts to try my hand at making something with tapered legs. I’m working with some cherry for the first time right now (fly boxes, go figure). I love the way the grain pops on cherry when it’s finished. It really make all the sanding worth while.

New table, gift from my wife this year. You can tell its Steelhead season, gone is the garbage in olive and browns. Now, purple, pink, and chartrueuse litters the floor.

My setup:

-The table is a small drafting table with side attachments for holding

scissors, bobbin holders, etc. It also has a roll out bottom drawer for holding

boxes of different hook sizes.

-The threads sit on a small rotating food tray for easy access to thread types.

-The black thing glued to the center of the thread tray is an automotive sanding sponge.

When the needles you use get hardened varnish on them, you punch them into the

sanding sponge and it cleans them right off. ( you can also stick your flies on it)

-I keep my bigger materials in some Tupperware drawers to the right.

-I use a solid foam lid from a styrofoam cooler to stick the bulk of my flies on.

-The silver dish is an automotive magnetic dish. Any odd hooks lying around hold fast

inside the dish so they don't end up everywhere.

-Yeah, three inexpensive but good vises. Some of the flies I tie are varnished all over

and I don't want to touch them and risk messing them up. This way I can let

one dry for awhile and use the next vise.

That's how I'm keeping it for now.
