Anybody make their own tying station? Thought I’d save a few dollars and make my own with an old cheese cutting board lying around the kitchen and some wooden skews for ka bobs making,,, then used a drill and figured my layout and Ka Boom,,, my very own jig making station,,,
I figured you were good for something, LOL
Looks great.
Very nice repurpose project. Nice!
Thanks guys,,,, hope y’all are catching some fish,,Quote:

Yes indeed that is awesome. Nice job!
Nice work !
Now that's just good ole' fashion ingenuity right there. Very nicely done sir.
Nice, the skewers for the bobbins was a good idea, and saved a trip to the HW store for some dowels.

Looks nice. I think you still need some cheese on that board though....lol

I prefer to have all my materials jammed into 3 different storage containers that I can't see into. NOT! Great project!
That's hilarious, it's exactly what I'm currently doing in fact.Quote:

I feel like am an underachiever with my lone large cardboard box. Though I am in hot pursuit with my daily material purchases.:RoflQuote:

Oh got bigger boxes,,,, tons of feathers, buck tails, flashings and others for extras,,,, this is just while I’m tying on tv stand, and stuff is around me in buggers boxes sorted in ziplocks,,,,these are just the tools, threads and glue
My tying vice and tools and few other things go in a specially fitted box for storage in closet when I'm not tying. Sometimes I go quite a while between sessions.
This is my tying stuff in the boxAttachment 397580
Very nice and compact, Grumpy. Mine is in a plastic storage tub. I’m getting the bug to begin tying again. You don’t save any money tying your own, but the thrill of catching on your own creation is something to be really enjoyed!
I have to come up with a storage device or quit buying . I saw a video by SK that he is using a roll around storage with bins from WalMart. I have a room that I do my reloading in but storage space is a premium. It will have to fit under the bench in there. I have something buzzzing in my head for chenille storage and display but not quite what I want yet.
That is what I do as well. I have the rolling storage bin like SK, and then a tackle box, some other boxes, some other bins, and then some other bags. Wow I've accumulated a lot of stuff....:Rofl
Space is a premium, I spend as much time getting stuff out and set up as I do tying. But that is the way it goes, the lil woman isn't much for stuff out in our tiny house and I am not tying. Can't blame her though as we still need the dining room table. lol
I made a folding table like an old army field table. when folded it's approx. 3" thick and the top is 28.5x41.5. larger top than the standard military field table, but what the heck. storage at the moment is plastic shoe storage boxes with lids, even though most wont close any more. feathers I have cut into V's and tips have a smal cream cheese container, one for each color. Looking at getting a couple plastic three or four container and using 1/8th in plyboard ( like plain paneling. I think Lowes calls it floor underlayment), and cut it to fit back and sides to make sure it don't start collapsing after much use...
Underlayment can be used in many projects, strong and doesn't weigh much. With your skills just make the the container to you specs and skip the box.
Great idea and beautiful job! The board needs a C Com sticker under urethane on the surface! Just sayin.....LOL
Grumpy I apologize. I was a bit wore out when I wrote that and should have proof read it, or read what I wrote then edited it. When I was referring to the underlayment, it should have been clarified it was to stiffen up the 3 or 4 drawer plastic cabinet, by attaching it to the back and sides. The top of my little table is becoming quite crowded, and it hurts my back more than it is already trying to fetch a container from the floor....Quote:

Like that!
Just as a side note, one can get one of these foam tool caddies made by Renzetti for the tools and they hold a good bit. Think it would go well next to the home made kind of station.
Just a thought and I have one that I have sitting next to my tying station.
