Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Wanted to show my tying bench I've pieced together over the years.  It's definitely not fancy, but has been the platform from where I have spent many enjoyable hours trying to improve my tying skills to the point that I could tie flies that would fool Mr. Bluegill.  It's based off of a workbench that my dad built me when he was living and a wood stain sample case that he had in his workshop years ago, so It has more sentimental value than anything.I've tried to keep it where everything is with in arm's reach and in view which saves time searching and more time tying.  It's located in my workshop so it's always open for business, which makes it nice when an idea strikes or some decompression time from a stressful work day is needed.  Thought it would be a good time to post, since I just clean it up.   It's one place I can go to escape and think about nothing but the fly I'm creating.  I think everyone that enjoys this hobby can relate.  Would like to see benches of other tiers to get ideas.  Thanks

SWEEEETTT MERCY!

Wow your is beautiful compared to mine. Like your vice it looks like mine A DANVISE. So far mines working fine but haven't used it much. You got a nice work area even tidy compared to mine. I want to take a room upstairs but don't think I'll be able to hear my wife.

Thats awesome! Would love to have that area to organize in.

Hi looks great Sleepy

Definitely a nice retreat for some peace.
