In the Build process of a tying table/desk.

Had some old cabinets, so I started cutting and fitting. I'm getting close but still have a ways to go.
Started with this from a kitchen I redo back last fall.

Next up to build the chenille holder, falshabou, and feather box.

Looks like you are going to have a nice setup.

Gonna be a nice setup for sure.

Looking like it will work well, nice job!

Very nice

Good looking setup, and lots of storage.

Looking good!

Very nice setup!!

looks awesome! wish I had a set up like that

i used to have a similar set up. mine was a desk from staples a executive desk the one with drawers etc and i had a fly tieing desk tying station on top here is a few thing i have noticed about it it took up way to much room. the fly tying desk tying station my dad built for me out of red oak broke more tool siting in the slot for tools then it was worth lol's from throwing stuff on the desk. like snap a few pair of scissors tip off because of the tip face down in a shallow hole. also wrecked a few feather capes with those plastic slider drawers that you got there in your set up. but all and all it was a learning experience. now i tie on a tv tray table from wall mart total cost $10 saves ton of space folded up i store all my tying stuff in plastic shoe sized boxes with the snap on lids that do not destroy feathers.. you can take that tray table any ware needed in or out of the house.


if you de-sided to go with the shoe sized boxes you could always get a book case for the storage of multiple shoe sized boxes... i label mine with blue painter tape and a sharpie so i can change them around now and then...



any ways nice set up you got there! just though i would share some tips about mine and why i went to what i did ...

Added my flash holder and my chenille holder today.

I tie a lot "every night" so it is important for me to have a place to do it and not have to clean up.
I agree with the plastic drawers they are not user friendly at all. I'm just using them until I get me feather box built.
Which by the way I am looking for ideas.

you mite want to try the book case idea make a spin off of it like put doors on the front and on the out side of the doors rod racks? then you can store some bug boxes and tackle boxes in side it and feathers too for the feather if you have the time i would make boxes out of wood mainly ceder lined then the bugs stay out! but make them so they fit the shelf's the way you want and have lids the way you want. wither hinged or set on top i just said the plastic boxes cause they are easy to get and use there are tons of internet designs and plans even those humidor boxes are another thing for those that like good cigars while fishing even wine racks too or quart bottle rack off you favorite beverage . play with it enough and you will get some thing cool sooner or later any ways awesome job on the tying set up so far i like wish i had the room...

Had to get it set up and move on. I was falling way behind on my tying.

Just a quick note, notice the cabinet doors, I took the inexpensive name take clip and screwed them to the inside doors and on a dowel rod on the wall. It's a great way to store Duck, Arctic Fox, and rubber legs.

Very nice setup
