I have my bench (left) where I do my production jig tying. This has been great for jigs and the occasional bucktail streamer. I have been getting much more serious into fly tying but disliked the thought of changing things on my bench – too much hassle. The solution was to get a second bench. Being just across the river from the birthplace of IBM these types of benches are a pretty common surplus item. The bench on the left is my old reliable bench handed down from my father who tied on this for decades (IBM surplus picked up around 1980). The bench with the drawers I found on craigslist and purchased from a fella just a block from the old IBM plant. Some scrap wood and 30 minutes I added the wood shelf similar to how my old bench is. I still have to purchase a new lamp (maybe halogen that clamps to my vise) and a new drafting stool. I have a Renzetti Presentation 3000 ordered which should be here Wednesday.
