This is my fly tying station. The station itself was a DIY project made with 2x4s and a piece of ¾ inch plywood I had left over from my aquarium canopy build. It does its job. Eventually I will build a bigger better one when I have the room, which may be never. My desk is just my hobby desk that I use for my many hobbies. I use a couple of plastic drawers for my materials. The problem is that my materials are out growing my drawers. I really need to get a couple more. One thing that I want to change is the black of the desk top. My Dad’s station has a white top. He found some strips of white counter top material that was self sticking and just covered the top of his desk with them. I think that I am going to see if I can find something similar for mine. My vise is a Peak Rotary vise. I bought it a couple of weeks ago. I am very impressed with it. The rotary feature of a vise is something new to me and I like it. I have tied about twenty flies on this vise. My old one was simply beginners vise it was fine to learn some of the basics but I wanted something a little better. The vise I really want and will never be able to afford is a Renzetti Traveler 2300, mostly because my Dad used a Renzetti. I use a few books for reference, my favorite ones are Barr Flies by John Barr and Fly Tying Basics by Charlie Craven. These guys are amazing. Over the years I have accumulated many tying tools. I have tools that I will probably never use, but hey, I guess that I have them if I need them.
At any rate, I want to get back to tying flies. So, catch you later.
