thankful to have the space, but the wife jokes with me "can you stop buying estate sales"If my wife ever complains of the space mine takes, I'll threaten her with this pic and say don't make me get to that level haha
Admitting you had a problem is the first step to recovery from FTMA (Fly Tying Material Addiction). Relapses are, unfortunately, rather common.I finally went through the drawers and organized all my crap. I think I had a problem at some point, don’t think I’ll need to order anything for tying View attachment 71012 everView attachment 71013
Simplisticity equals flexibility.I think I'm going to call it done.
Leave some space on the left of the table for clutter and small bins.
Walnut table
Walnut thread racks.
Figured/burl Walnut tool holder
Baltic birch with Morado (Bolivian rosewood) drawer fronts
Made entirely with a table saw, palm sander and a drill, and a Jig saw to cut the wonky shape of the tool holder.
Not bad.

That was kind of my thought. I mulled over putting another shelf on the left, or a little pegboard stand. But I'll give it a whirl for a while and see how she works.Simplisticity equals flexibility.
Beautiful work!I think I'm going to call it done.

Time to find a place in the house for it (where the wife allows lol) and fill it up with stuff.

It has a couple coats of teak oil on it.Looks great! I like those open-top drawers.
Did you finish the walnut with oil or something?
It's a great hobby. It takes me out of my comfort zone. My baseline is production based, million miles an hour hyper drive mode. Woodworking makes me slow down, be detailed and safety oriented. Nice change of pace.Beautiful! I love wood working as well.

I really like the look of these.View attachment 71325
These small Bisley steel cabinets are perfect for organizing fly tying materials. They come in 5, 6, 8, or 10 drawer versions.
Thanks, Jact55. I really like oil finishes on wood. It brings out the beauty of woodgrain, and keeps a natural matt sheen.It has a couple coats of teak oil on it.
I'm not very adventurous with stains and finishes, I've always just used teak oil for some reason.
I want to try odies oil. This is a giant slab (50' long? Human in back for reference), that one of my customer worked on. he said it only took a 1/4 cup to finish the whole thing. He swears by odies oil, and it seems fairly cheap.Thanks, Jact55. I really like oil finishes on wood. It brings out the beauty of woodgrain, and keeps a natural matt sheen.
