1 thing wrong........Its to neat lol..
It's brand new P give me a break.....by the way the heads were great, clean and not a bent hook in the bunch.
thanks pal. i try....trust me there sharp also....got the marks on my fingers to prove it lololol
I'm noticing that some of the stuff I use all the time is hard to locate, so I have to make something like that too. Good Idea. And yeah, way too neat:D.
Looks good Toby. Beats my plywood one. I look for some good work to come off of that table now. LOL
Looks good and ready to use. Nice use of the Hobby wood.
Thats sweet! I was in the process of making one that rotates out of bamboo, but I think I just changed my mind. Hope you don't mind me borrowing a page out of your book?

I haven't been tying jigs or flies for over 6 weeks now due to injuring my hip , tried every way I could think of but just can't a comfortable postion to sit for very long and even when I do it doesn't last long and standing too long makes my leg go numb, so alot of the time I'm laying down which doesn't make for an ideal way to tie.
If I could my tying table is a a folding Walmart tv tray and when done everthing has to get put away, so my stuff is always neat.
Nice job and will work, but I also noticed you are not working there yet. However I do have a question and it is what is goodness sake are you going to do with them cutters. Surely they don't work as pliers huh, also surely not for cutting thread, LOL?
Fatman what in heck's name did you do to your hip? My leg goes numb when I stand too long, but it's because of my nerve damage in my back. So I know about can't sit long and can't stand long. Heck now with diabites I can't walk long either. Hope it gets better soon!

X2 Fatman. Get better soon, things to do ya know.
Looks too nice to be a place to do work.:o:D
Great idea,looks dang handy.
My goodness My goodness so neat. That is a neat idea may have to adapt something like that. I do like the rough wood and will go out and cut a piece off with the chain saw. Don't let them give you a bad time about those cutters I have two pair at my tying bench and there are times they come in handy. Use mine for cleaning flash that I miss in clean up and the side I use to smooth the spure. I have a pair of small offset side cuttters that will cut any thing I throw at it from 18 guage wire to fine thread.

i use the cutters for cutting the collars off of some hard to find jigheads.......
Ah, good idea and wouldn't have thought of that because I get the guy I buy my heads from to leave collars off unless it's one of the very few I get with a collar. Your idea should work great for that!Quote:

One thing I thought of make sure if you have ceramic tipped bobbins you might want to put something down in those holes so you don't acidentally crack one

Actually went about a month thinking it was a ripped muscle and then my back started acting up and went back to the Doc who thought it was from a prior back injury just re-injured and she says you're goint to PT no and's if's but's or or's and when they did my initial eval the PT guy says your left leg is longer than your right, and then sticks his thumbs in the hip area and tell's me my hip is popped out and feels like it's rotated forward, basically out of alignment. Tells me to lay still and says this shouldn't hurt (YEAH RIHGT!!!!!!!!!!!) push's and twists and I hear it and FEEL it pop back in (can't use the words to describe the pain that shouldn't have hurt) and it actually felt way better.
The muscles are healing up but the ligaments are still getting back to normal, so it's gonna be a while
Skip I do pray for a healing for you and still pray for your son. Do you have a Christmas update for us?
That is a neat station Toby. If you do a search on jig tying stations in this forum you will find a wealth of other ideas to incorporate. Nice job.
Fatman
"shouldn't hurt" is the most misused term to DRs. That's why I don't go and haven't been in like 17 yrs.
Hope everyones' ailments heal fast.

Wow Fatman that is really strange, but at least your healing now. Good luck with that buddy! Just take your time to get it right as starting over again is not going to be good. So best safe than sorry huh?
Thank you Ship and hate to say it but I am thinking we need some prayers with all that has gone on for the last 10 years or so.
Fatman, I've dealt with some back issues and had the surgery. Ligaments take a while to adjust, and they are a bother. Chin up, brother. Relief is closer than you think.
