Glad to see I’m only mildly afflicted compared to this…
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

Here's my little corner, I just move the TV table around a sit on the couch...our house is only about 450 Sq ft so nor room for a man cave...we make it work

thankful to have the space, but the wife jokes with me "can you stop buying estate sales"
That's a hard no hun, hard no.
I'm getting to the point that 3 times last year shirttail friends are like "hey, our great uncle larry died, do you want all these feathers?"
It's a yes, always a yes
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

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.

'One more Whiting Grizzly Cape is too many, and a dozen more are not enough'.
I'm pretty sure there's an FTMA chapter near you...most of them share Addiction Recovery meetings with elderly feline hoarding Cat Ladies. Very similar psychological underpinnings.
And the ladies can often provide some excellent dubbing materials!

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

Simplisticity equals flexibility.
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.
Beautiful work!
Thank you hobby ranch. It was a fun little project.
One last pic with everything on it. Ready to rock and roll
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.
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.
It helps I work for a wholesale hardwood company, which often gets alot of my paycheck back lol.
I really like the look of these.
Thanks, Jact55. I really like oil finishes on wood. It brings out the beauty of woodgrain, and keeps a natural matt sheen.
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.
Hopefully he doesn't mind me sharing his pic
Think my next project, I'll give that a try.
Odie's Universal Oil 9oz.
Food Safe, Solvent Free, Non-toxic Wood Finish and Stabilizer. Easy to Use. Lustrous Sheen In One Coat. Odie's Oil is great for all species of wood, exotic and domestic. Formulated to work on even the oiliest of woods. Odie's Oil is great for interior and exterior applications: Boats...
