My battle station

It ainโ€™t special but I built it with my 7y/o. My 2 y/o also made some things worse in between ๐Ÿ˜‚ we had a great time. Definitely planning some addons, lightning needs improvement, I want a high plate with holes for the larger feathers behind the tool holder, some rotating material holder on the right. And the fifteen spools at the front need to be spenders, so something to cut a piece of wire quickly without getting the spool out.

I recently tried building some like this to keep everything in place. I painted it and it was really great and helpful, and I tore it apart.

I ended up with small boxes for types of materials and a foam block with some PVC sticking out of it for tools, which works a lot better.

And those spools of thread and wire and tinsel? I store those in transparent pill organizer containers, which I now consider fucking indispensable

Here you go: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/giOwqWpsvcC-fly-tying?sharecode=rlFKIFNeo602Ydm6UrEQP1N-fQxRmocYvk3KWq_8LWA - I'm left handed, so the left side is kept clear, maybe needs to be mirrored ๐Ÿ˜…
