Fly Tying Station Build

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I finally decided to build a tying station. I used left over wood from other project.

 

I have a Stonfo Transformer vise I will be mounting to the thick piece of Walnut at the front.

 

Let me know what you think, I am applying the poly finish as I type.

 

Attached are a few other pictures of the fishing related projects I make.

 

Thanks.

Beautiful woodworking! I'm just getting started learning to build landing nets myself; might have to pick your brain a bit on that at some point if you wouldn't mind. :)

First ... VERY nice work. On the bench AND the boxes.

I'll make the only recommendation I make to everyone building such a tying station ... magnets. Buy some magnetic strips, cut them to size and glue them to a couple of vertical surfaces. The front of a shelf or two is perfect. Gives you a place to put extra hooks, etc.

When I tie, I set out to complete a certain number of a pattern. I put that many hooks on one of the magnets.

I plan to dip them in plasti dip to soften the edges a bit.

That's a very good idea. I hadn't thought about that

Sean, that turned out beautifully. I like the contrasting woods ... but I really like the touch of brass for the shelf supports.

Man, I thought my design was pretty good but this one is wicked nice! Now I'm going to have to rethink mine...
