Nice! If I had one of those I might tie more often. Can you stash all your necks/tails/hooks in the bottom? It looks like there's room, but I didn't see that pic. Happy hackling! : )

Thank you for the extra pics. I should probably try making a fly box (as in your other project) first!

Enjoy,
Bill

Seeing this project and your fly box makes me want warm weather to come to KC. Nice job and excellent thought. I really like to color combination and straight forward design.

Beautiful box! Necessity is definitely the mother of invention. Do you have a light set up incorporated in there somewhere?

Vagabond.

That is one beautiful fly tieing work station. I love your choice of woods and the layout. One question: Did you consider using a veneer to cover the plywood end grain or did you want to leave that as a design element?

A Happy new year !! Rat,, thank you for your comment.
I confess,, the box body was made with box joint.
But due to my poor skill, I found many defects like chipping
open space and glue mark. Then I decided to cover with walnut.
However the left over walnut was a bit short to cover all edges of the box.
That is why so ugly joints ( I should have used miter joint)
The reason I used plywood is to make lighter so that easy to carry.
Most of my projects were made of walnut and hard maple combination.

A Happy New Year !! PrairieFire,,
Thank you for your comment.
This project was initiated to utilize left over material.
In addition, I changed the design on the fly as proceed.
So, no DWGS is available.

A Happy New Year!! FJDIII
This is my first fly tying bench.
To spend this winter season tying fly, I made the bench.
(I need to clean up the tying space instantly when my spouse call me)
Using the bench so far, some improvement points are
1. box size can be a bit smaller. 460×400x170 mm can be 400×350 x 150
2. Lid must have more divider and acrylic plate must be divided at least into two.
3. ply wood can be 10mm thick instead of 12mm
4. plate magnet may be provided under large dish portion
5. Chenille dispenser storage in the lid space for easy use
