Fdx Custom Rods New Multi Hundred Dollar Production Facility

Not a lot to look at but considering I have been building rods out of a plastic tote for 10 years, it is a Huge Production Facility.

 

I annexed 24 sf out of Nicole's office.  I had to buy her a new cherry desk and filing cabinets but it was worth it.

 

Finally I don't have to pack up and get out of her way when I'm done building a rod.

Kind of like the board game Risk. Start out small and then slowly aquire land!

Very well organized and spacious. Should serve you well

Looks sweet. That's a nice light. I would imagine it comes in handy.

Definitely better organized than my rod shop.

I'm jealous considering I do all my work out of the boxes my supplies have came in. I too have to pick up and move out of the way of the lady of the house. Had plans to make the basement my man cave and rod building gun cleaning station but.... Another baby on the way quickly squashed that idea and now it's the boys playroom and bedroom.

I can't even find my rod shop right now.  Still unpacking from the ICRBE last week.  I have many repairs to do, but I can't find anything!!

Don't feel bad. I didn't go anywhere and sometimes lose stuff I had in my hand 30 seconds ago! lol

That's me!!! Usually it's in my other hand haha

I found it at Northern Tool for 19.99.  It has a 4" 2X magnifier which makes wrapping guides SO much easier for my old and crusty eyes.

You'll do well Lee. Your friend, Brian.

Thanks Brian.  Dinner was great company.  The steak was more like a stake.

 

You and Grover are welcome in my boat anytime.

I've used that same light/magnifier over my fly tying bench for 20+ years. Had to replace it a few times because the lens is plastic but it is cheap and super functional.

I use coated braid for thread pulls, and I must have tied up thirty of them in the last three weeks. I finish a wrap, pull the tag end through, and lose the pull every time. An extreme case air air-head.

Dang those cork jigs sound intriguing. What type of trailer to you use on those? lol
