Building a NEW fly tying station from an OLD dining room table | Beyond The Fly

- Up to this point I had been using a beautifully made "mini" fly tying table that was given to me by my awesome family. I would move from different areas of the house just so I could set the table on a flat surface and turnout some fly's. Flash forward several months and it was time to trash our family dining room table. After looking at the table closely, I could see all the notes, scribbles, and past memories that had been made. The table had histories, been through moves, and shared our secrets. The table couldn't end up in the landfill. The memories couldn't be thrown out. Something had to be done!?! The idea to re-purpose the table was eventual born! A mental design was created and all my tools were pulled out to save a part of our family history. Here is where the video comes into play. You get to see the entire build in just seven minutes! I can't wait to see what kind of adventures and stories are created from this latest addition to the Beyond The Fly shindig. I hope you enjoy as much as I did building this new fly tying station. Thank you for watching and hanging out here on the channel. I greatly appreciate all the support.

This channel is dedicated to more than just fly fishing. It is about overcoming major life challenges, embracing the new, sharing the adventures, and soaking up the healing power of simply "being outside". It has taken years to get to this point and I can truly say that fly fishing is a key component in my recovery from a continued battle with Lyme Disease.
Bon travail mes ami .
Merci mon ami.
Thank you 🙏🏻
super video mercis
Thank you sir!
Very cool tying desk. Love the way you used the pipes for the legs.
Thank you sir! It's been in storage for a few months now and that is a heart breaker...... Appreciate the support.
Love this table. 👏👏👏. I am also a fan of Moonshine Rods 👍.
Many thanks 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hope you’re having a great time on the water when you get out. Especially when lacing up a Moonshine Rod 🤠🎣
Impressive…most impressive! 🎣😀👍
Thanks for checking out the build and dropping a comment!!! ❤️🎣🤠
Great work. Awesome work of art.
Appreciate the kind words.
This Looks AWESOME!!!
Thank you! Sure was a fun project to tackle. Happy fishing out there!
Beautiful!! Love the design.
Thank you for dropping a line! Have a great 2024 ahead.
Beautiful work.
Great way to keep history and memories
Thank you for taking the time to watch the build. Excited for its next life.
That's something to be really proud of. Wish I had your skill. What a great thing to pass on within the family. Bet my Dyna King would love to be clamped onto it.
Thank you! I’m very happy with it and hope it gets passed down many times. I’m not the most skilled craftsmen out there but not afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. Your Dyna King would be pretty damn happy 👍🏻
AWESOME!!!
Thank you!!! Be awesome out there
Beautiful table!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch! Take care.....
Pure class
Thank you 😊
Beautiful job on the work table!
Thank you for checking out the build. Appreciate it!
That turned out great, that has me motivated to start tying flies!
Thank you CJ! Looks like it might be a long winter and a little extra motivation helps. Thank you for watching the build. Enjoy that time churning flies out on the vise!
Wow! Love that you upcycled the old table to make this beautiful workstation - congrats! I wish I had that kind of skill. PS. I have a couple of Moonshine rods as well. They’re amazing rods especially at that price point. 🎣
Thank you sir! Heck, I bet you could come up with something, even if it’s a super small project to start. If you can hit up water carrying a Moonshine Rod then you’ve got some skills that carry over, attention to detail being one of them. Your not afraid to fail being another, cause you have a fly rod. Never had I personally had so many failures, as leaving the house with a fly rod in hand. The reward for the effort always comes at some point. That’s the beauty. Hope you have some fun plans ahead for the 2023 season. Thanks again for watching and dropping a comment. 🙏🏻🎣
Miss seeing you every week.
Hope you are well Brotha!?! Thank you for the message. About all I can do at this point in time is too daydream about drifting seam after seam.
The table came out great-well done.
Joshua Cordova hey thank you so much. Appreciate you watching.
Very cool to see you off the water. Beautiful desk, nice to see the process. Cheers
Many thanks Darren! I'll be running some Piscator Fly patterns on this new addition. It will be so nice to have everything in one place. See you soon and happy holiday's. -Kellen
Great job,been thinking about a new project this fall and this is it.Thanks again
Thank you very much! That is exciting. Great to hear you have a fall project :) Enjoy the process.
Amazing! That is some quality work Kellen! What a great way to preserve your family memories!
Mid-Life Flysis 💯 appreciate it Kirby! Thanks for always be supportive. Hopefully it will last for many years to come.
@@BeyondTheFly You bet my Friend. Merry Christmas.
@@MidLifeFlysis Merry Christmas to you and yours! Hope you all have a fantastic time.
For your station you could look into an arch LED lamp that way you have light in all directions. There very easy to make. I have one for my workbench in my garage
Jesse G that’s a rockin idea. I’m going to have to look into that. The lamp I have takes up a lot of space and casts shadows. Thank you for sharing the pointer and idea!!!!
I'm pretty pumped. I just ordered my fly tying tools this weekend. Now I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas haha. Been looking at peoples benches to give me idea's for my build.
That’s such a great feeling! Just be patient with yourself at the beginning. Remember that feeling of being excited for something new. Once you get your process in motion it’s game on from there. Net your first fish on a fly you created and the world lights up in a whole new way. Super pumped for you!
@@BeyondTheFly Thank you, I've heard that there is nothing quite like netting a fish on a fly you've tied yourself. I am looking forward to that feeling. I'm going to make a small travel cabinet to tie out of at the beginning since limited to only having a small section of my reloading bench to tie flies from until I move to a bigger place. The plus side is I'll always have a sweet little fly tying travel cabinet for my fishing trips. I'll probably do a build video like you did. In your video when you were hand sanding and the caption said applying minwax and then you applied the stain on I thought you were hand rubbing a wax finish on and then putting a clear coat on it after. I went into panic mode and watched it again to make sure lol. Your bench came out great.
That is spot on with there is nothing like it! It just boosts your confidence on the water, elevating it to a new level. I say get your film on with that build. I love watching people create things and see it from start to finish. Between each coat of miniwax I used a super fine grit sandpaper between each application of stain. After several coats and things looked smooth it was capped off with the clear coat to protect from any water, tea, or coffee :)
Looking forward to hearing more about your journey.
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍🏻
That was so cool! Great work
Thank you fine sir! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Tight lines out there!
Just came across your channel. Great job with your fly tying table, since you downloaded to your channel hope you have been tying plenty of flies 🤗.
Sam Dowie welcome to the channel! Yes sir, been blessed to put clients and myself on some great fish thanks to the good vibes of this table 🤠. I’m a little sad it’s in storage at the moment. There will be a couple new uploads coming very soon. Thanks for dropping a comment and the support. Tight lines. 🎣❤️
That is sweet I am using a old roll top desk and I love it but this style would fit my house so much better
Thank you! I like the roll top desk idea. This one is really easy to move and will be easy to modify as I grow into the workspace. Thanks for checking out the build!!! Best of luck in yours.
Hope you’re doing good buddy! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Doing really well these last few weeks, thank you! I hope life is fueling you with greatness! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you as well!
Turned out beautiful, great job!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Have a great weekend!
@@BeyondTheFly It was good inspiration, thank you. I'm about to make a little desktop organizer from just some scrap wood as I'm tired of making a mess every time I tie lol, maybe I'll make a little video myself :)
jgrimsta you should video it! It was worthwhile to take the extra time and piece the footage together. You’ll enjoy having everything organized. It makes time on the vise so much better. 🍻
really cool!
Noah S. Hope you are doing well? Thank you 🙏🏻
@@BeyondTheFly I am, same back at you.
Noah S. Great to hear! Many thanks!!!!
@@BeyondTheFly we should get out on the river at some point!
@@N_Co_Fish We have to make that happen!!! We have to.......
Nice vid! Great job saving some family history! I expect some good looking flies to be produced here!
Colorado Fly Guy hey man! Thank you. Hoping it will stay in the fam for generations. Tight lines!
Friend, your a wood worker !!! Bad ass!!!
Well many thanks mister! I love to create using wood, metal, plastic, or using a camera. Thanks to one hell of a wood working teacher back in the day when kids still had wood shop. We built some awesome projects throughout high school. Over the years there has always been little projects that come up and get my full attention. Hope you are doing well my friend?
Very very nice !!!.
Hey Simon, right on! Thank you for watching!
Amazing project man! Congratulations, very nice tied desk 👏👏👏
Many thanks! Always feels good to build something with your hands. Thank you for watching and supporting. Tight wraps and tight lines!
Very cool!
Garrett Mann thank you 👍🏻
Dang! You have some skill!! Awesome job my friend!
Man I appreciate that! Thanks for the support. I hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas!!!!
Very nice set up
John Merritt thank you! I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for checking out the build.
Nice setup brother. one of these days as I get older and can't stand ice fishing in the cold I'll get me a kit and a setup to tie flies in the colder months. I think in the next 5 years. :D
Colorado Fisher thanks man! You have plenty of time and you have to keep on keeping on with that ice fishing. It’s all in due time 👍🏻 hope the weekend is going well.
Inspiring! Thanks! It came out great! 🍻
New England Streamers Awesome! Thanks for the encouraging words! 🍻
Very nice
Warren Van Nuil thank you 🙏🏻
WOW!!!
That's some very good & innovative wood working .. I'll be getting my first Fly Tying Vise for Christmas and I can't wait to start this next step in my Fly Fishing evolution ... Again great work my friend.
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🌺🎄🌺
Well thank you so much Gerald!! Christmas is right around the corner and a whole new world of fly fishing addiction is about to open up for you :). Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!! Tight lines my friend.
Nice work!Im looking to make a smaller tying desk i have a big rolltop desk thats all oak and weights a ton,this gives me some ideas👍
seanfishingtexas my man you could make a killer tying station out of that roll top! Being oak it would last for generations. Thanks for checking out the vid and happy you got some ideas! 🎣👍🏻
Nice!
G 138 thank you 🙏🏻
turned out nice I don't understand why you didn't sand it all before adding the legs. Would be quicker and a hell of a lot easier not having to sand around everything???????
Great point and honestly can’t recall the thought process laid out in my planning for that particular part of the project. Would have saved some time for sure. Appreciate you taking the time to watch. Be well.
Really nice work !
Did you also make the tying tray yourself ?
Thank you!! It was a great opportunity. The tying tray you are seeing came from the crew at Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado. Those folks are super talented.
Awesome! What's the tying station on top
Many thanks brotha! Check out the talented man name Jay Burge at "Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado" That portion was a gift from my family. I take that smaller station with me from time to time which is super handy. Hope that helps?
Nice job on the table. I would like to build one using an old and cherished pine table. Would you be willing to provide the dimensions of the table and shelving?
Kevin Erdman thanks man! It was a really fun build. I hope you find joy in repurposing your pine table. Here are some dimensions: top shelve is 30 1/2” w x 12” depth, top shelf to main table top is 9 1/2”, main table top is 38” wide x 31” depth, lower right & left shelves are 9” wide x 31” depth, and it’s 11” of lower shelving clearance from the main table top. From the floor to the main table top is 33 1/4”. Hope that helps in some way for ya. Have a good night.
Beyond The Fly thanks a lot man. That’s exactly what I needed.
Kevin Erdman right on! You’re welcome 👍🏻
Amazing table. Did you build that tying station as well?
Thank you Kevin! The talented man name Jay Burge at Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado made the station. He was the inspiration to the table. If you are interested buy direct from him. Much cheaper. He can throw in some custom details as well. My wife and kiddos got me the station one year for fathers day. I would tie any where I could for years just moving the table from spot to spot. An incredible gift!
What snake light is that connected to your station?
I got it from flytybench dot com. Or search Finest Fly Tying Benches Of Colorado. They made the bench that sits on top of the table. They are incredible people and very passionate about tying. Hope that helps?
Awesome video! I just smashed that Sub button! Look forward to more!
Right on man! Thank you for the support. Tight lines out there!!!
Where did you buy your fly tying tray?
That would be from the fine folks over at - Finest Fly Tying Benches. They are out of Colorado. Incredible quality and detail. It goes just about everywhere with me. The website is flytybench dot com if that helps?
What are the trays called at 7:03 ?
Hello, the very center tray was built from the guys at “Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado”. You can search them and see all the different portable tabletops they create. The tying thread on the far right was made from scrap wood and left over bolts that I made. Thank you for watching!
what model of this station do you have? What are the dimensions?
@@smoothlarryhughes check out finest fly tying benches of Colorado. The website is www.flytybench dot com. My station on top of the table is custom as it was a very special Father’s Day gift. They will customize anything you want. Awesome group of guys.
@@BeyondTheFly What did you have customized on it?
@@smoothlarryhughes it has my name engraved on the front, a custom engraved brown trout, several other rainbow trout that look like they are swimming, and multi colored wood for the tool carrier that goes with the bench top.
Could you tell me who built the fly station you have on top of your desk??
Hi Chris! That would be the talented Jay Burge of Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado. Check out www.flytybench.com. He can customize you a bench that will blow your mind. You want to buy direct as it will save you a boat load of money compared to those at fly shops. They are great people and very passionate about Tying. Thank you for the comment.
Why would someone give a thumbs down to this?
Perhaps that someone needs a hug :)
where did you get that organizer/station you use?
That was a fathers day gift and the best one ever! Its from Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado. I think the website is flytybench.com. They will customize them if you want. The owner Jay is a great guy and super passionate about the sport. The best thing about it is you can set up anywhere.
Awesome job! What’s the organizer you’re using?
Hello Austin! That would be a Finest Fly Tying Bench from flytybench.com. If I am understanding your question correctly? Thank you for the comment and taking the time to watch the build. Let me know if I can help more?
Beyond The Fly perfect thanks! Great videos btw! Found your channel couple months ago.
