Here's an idea I came up with after inheriting my Grandma's old wooden bread box. It looked like a miniature fly tying desk, so I decided to make it into one. It was so easy to make, that I decided to go on Craigslist and find another one real cheap. Anyone can do this...... I made a video on how to make one, and put it on you tube. If you like it, send the link to your fly tying friends. The store-bought ones are CRAZY EXPENSIVE... this one I think is classier, and of course easy on the pocket book.

Excellent video. Great craftsmanship. liked the deer tine applicator best. But where you gonna put all the fly tying materials??? Is that what the other Bread Box is for???

This is simply a portable work station. I'll use this mainly on coffee tables, in motels, and camping situations. I put my materials in a travel binder I bought from cabelas and sometimes a briefcase is handy. There's not a desk big enough to hold all my materials!
