Guest Report post Posted March 24, 2013 I built it with my father. It is maple with the drawer fronts made of tiger maple. I am very proud of this desk and is my finest piece of furniture Roll top, pull out desk, some small item storage. I store most of my materials in a near by cabinet. This is actually a less cluttered state than normal. I like a cluttered desk, what can i say. “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” View the full article Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roofish 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Very nice desk indeed. I noticed your Vise base, how does that function? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 I like the rotating vice base. Swing the vice out to work, back to close the roll top. But does the clamping system work? I only ask because of the clip that seems to be supporting the base near the vice end. That is beautiful work, and I love the slide out desk top.

Rolf Jacobsen 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Each time I go back and look at your photos, I become more and more impressed with your desk. The drawers, pull out work space, handles, all the little details, it is indeed a fine piece of furniture. The fact that you built it with your father I would guess makes it even more special. I envy you…. and not just for the desk. By the way, the appointments around the desk are very well done too. Beautiful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtrout58 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2014 That is outstanding. I think rolltops make the best fly tying desks. Clean up / tidying up is as quick as closing the rolltop. That really is beautiful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
