Super User Alpster Posted February 16, 2007 Super User Posted February 16, 2007 I have been trying to rework the tacklemaking work bench in my office so I can get some work done whithout having to move everything off the drafting table. I built a 10 foot long addition to my fly tying bench (15' total) and am in the process of setting it up for rod building, etc. Two 36" hollow core doors married to a 1/2 sheet of plywood and covered with thin pile carpet. Attached to the wall with 24" track shelf brackets and a couple of cantaliever braces. Total cost about $100. I am pleased with how it turned out and with the current weather, it looks like I'll get some use out of it. Tight wraps, Ronnie Quote
Guest whittler Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 You call that a work bench, no scars, scrapes, gouges or paint spots. Nice work though. Quote

ominousone Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I love your work area. I"m trying to come up with a nice clean neat system for organization and easy working and that looks like what I'm trying to do right there. Where did you get those little totes that are on the desk? They look handy. Anyway looks great. Also, what type of lures do you make other than flies? Your equipment looks different than what I'm using. Thanks for sharing. -Mat Quote
Guest DavidGreen Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Great looking work space Ronnie...... Quote

Thanks for sharing.-Mat You may have noticed the Fordam wood carver hanging at the left end of the table. I want to try my hand at wood plugs. Most of my time is spent rod building, my homemade power wrapper is not in the picture, but it's on the new table now. The plastic boxes with drawers are from Staples office supply, but I have seen them at WalMart and Sam's. Ronnie Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted February 17, 2007 Super User Posted February 17, 2007 That looks great Ronnie. I know your gonna love it. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 awsome work bench. Great job. This reminds me I've never posted up mine like I said I would. Quote
Guest whittler Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Ron, good choice on the Foredom, great machines. If you are going to do much carving you might want to try Typhoon burrs, these things will eat wood and do not clog. 90% of my bait carving is done with a cone shaped Typhoon burr and two 1/4" shank 1/2" dia. sanding drums 2" long.

basscatcher8 Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Nice work bench. I just built one myself just not as big. Though i put mine out in the unheated, and un insulated garage next to my boat so i could work on stuff for my boat in the same place. So with this weather its not getting used yet lol.... great work Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Wow, you're hooked up now!! Quote
TeamHillbilly Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 That looks great, the only trouble with adding on is you never stop, If my shop was that clean I'd never find anything!!!!!! I'm up to a 16 x 20 shed now, and still can't get in the door most of the time. I guess there's no stopping NOW :-X Quote
