How’s your tying bench?

[lars]

posted this before when i first scored the new tying light which has really been a welcome addition.
looks like one of the bench's neater periods. made it from a couple wooden drawer cabinets and a door from ikea as a top.

Buying my wife a new jewelry valet for her birthday allowed me to repurpose her old one

I put a picture or two here in the past of the desk where I tie flies. I don’t remember if I showed the stained glass that’s on the wall beside my desk, so here’s a picture of it. This glass came from a church in Pittsburgh when the church was torn down about 50 years ago.

Earthquake damage. Don’t worry, I will rebuild it.

You should patent the background plate mount!

That’s a Rim Chung RS2 vise patent doing double duty as a background plate holder.

My problem is storage anymore. boxes of hides in basement along with boxes of turkey, chenille's, craft furs, etc. the dining room is my tying area, have a library in the living room.

I'm digging your clean and somewhat minimalized bench setup. I'm trying to place the ballpark in the framed pic. I'm thinking I should know it . . .

Thanks for the compliment.
The ballpark is Sportsman's Park. It was the original home to the St Louis Cardinals. It was renamed Busch Stadium when Anheuser-Busch bought the team in 1953, and served until 1966 when Busch II was built.

Thanks,
steve

Steve -

I apologize for sidetracking this thread a bit, but your picture and discussion of the St Louis Cardinals brought back some old memories for me.

I grew up in a small town in south central Florida called Avon Park where the Cardinals played their spring ball for several years beginning in 1927, after they had beaten the Yankees in 1926 in a best of 7 game World Series. Here’s a picture of some of the Cardinals on their Florida field. I played a lot of baseball there 50+ years ago, and lived just behind that center field wall, when not much had changed except the name of the field that was later called Head Field.

Great picture! Glad I was able to bring back some memories for you ...the old ones are the best ones.
