Mike, I love the fact you shared your grandfathers flies with us. I am currently building a fly tying station for our shop. I too have some of my grandads old lures etc. I have made a spot in my station, that I used a router to make a small circle in the wood, put one of his lure in it, and just finished pouring the last tope coat of epoxy to finish it off. I think it will turn out nicely. I do have some air bubbles in the edges, hopefully I can sand them out, not sure, I am still new to working with epoxy. Great job on this station sir, it looks pretty sweet and rwill be greatly organized. I dont like looking for tools, so organized is a great option. Thanks agian for taking the time to share this with us. I am more of a crappie and panfish fisherman being in East Texas, so even though it is not true trout fishing fly fishing, but I love to fly fish out of my kayak, so that is part of what I make in the shop as well is crappie jigs panfish jigs etc. Thanks agin an keep up the fun videos sir. Have a blessed week. dale

Mike I really loved the video series for this project! Especially the heart and reason behind it. The stories about dad and grandpa fishing are great! Thanks for sharing.

Nice build ...i plan to make one myself one day , for now im using a Oasis compact tying tray/ desk . Its small ( 12" x 7" ) but it works great . Im using it in my travels. I just added onto it a drawer on the bottom to stash all my tools . Ok thanks for the videos and build tips 👍

Really enjoyed watching this from conception to the finished product. Now all you need do is tie a few flies and get out and enjoy the fruits of your labours. Take care and I wish you good fishing.

Thanks, Don. So far I'm really enjoying it. I sit down and tie 5 of the same fly. The fifth one is always better then the first. Thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave the comment. All the best

sure looks good Mike. I do a little fly fishing in the spring here in Michigan when the fish are on their beds. Then regular fishing the rest of the year. never tied Flys before, maybe I should give it a try. Thanks for taking the time to make and post your videos. I sure enjoy them. Have a Jesus filled day.

What kind of light/magnifier is that? Great video.
@mikehedden59977 жыл бұрын
Hey, Westside, thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment. I bought the light from Rockler wood working. It's has pretty bright LED's and a very good magnifier. I think they sell them to wood carvers, but I like the way I use mine. Thanks again and all the best.
