Guest Report post Posted May 24, 2017 Fantastic. Those benches are hard to find and generally command a high price. They almost look like they were designed for flytying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cphubert 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2017 Yes I am very happy, he wanted a good home for it. It is all oak framed with dovetailed drawers. I'll be searching for a older style Atlantic Salmon Federation and Trout Unlimited stickers to poly to the topside. Fits on my trailer wall with 8" to spare, may put a rod rack on the end. I feel like a kid planning to turn a cardboard box into a Flash Gordon spaceship (while trying to keep the Queen of Mars happy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cphubert 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Mike, The old TV show Flash Gordon when we were kids we had a bag of wooden / glass knobs and door pulls we used to make space ships and submarines out of large cardboard boxes. Long before the internet we had to make due with imagination, your not that young...... Today the Queen of Mars would be my wife, need to keep her happy or I'll be back in one of those cardboard boxes..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Kids will still play like that if they have a chance. TV and comp games have become too easy an option to park kids in front of. Awesome desk as already said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 You missed the "joke" of my two posts, CP. I didn't make anything out of cardboard boxes. We lived near a large tract of woodland ... all the way to the Wabash River 1/2 mile or so away. I spent most of my time running around in the woods, or fishing the river.
