Guest Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Hey guys, I didn't know it at the time but I showed my travel bench to Terry Drinkwine a local sportswriter. He wrote about it in his outside column today and said it was "the most practical portable fly tying bench he'd seen" Well I was pretty stoked when a friend called me and read me the article, I had to go buy a paper! :headbang: I am currently wading through the patent process and it looks like there is a way I can do what I need to without going broke in the process, I should be able to make them available soon.

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Eric, Congratulations on the exposure. It sure is fun to get recognition for something you do. If you are interested, contact Gretchen and me (off this group) and we'll see if your bench can fit into one of our articles, after you take care of the patent process of course. No promises but you never know when a great idea can come-to-the-fore. Take care & ...
