If I truley had the set up I wanted, I'd have my general bench for all my tackle gear and tools sorted and labeled. I'd have a wall with hooks or shelves built just to display and store some of my more favorite finished products. Another smaller bench or table would be exclusively for tying bucktails, jigs and tails/flys. Maybe a small flat panel ceiling mounted with access to internet for watching youtube videos on tackle craft. I'd have the lathe, sander and drill press behind me with a big old dust collection unit. These are things I'd love to have. I'd top it all off with a metal cabinet for my chems and a spray booth for the paint! Oh, and lights, lights lights. Spinner box would be on the other side next to workbench. But alas, I live vicariously through most of you! lol In time perhaps!

i have been doing this sport for better than 50 years and I'd love to have the extra money to have a setup like you described. You have to be talking $10K to $15K.

No boat, back in the suds.

It shall be our's my friend.....it shall be our's!!!!! Oh yes!! Little by little, my wife keeps hearing how much lures go for, and how some people saw a few of the salty's kits I made and how they wanted to buy them. Now she thinks I should do a little more building to supplement our income. HAHAHA, she has no idea how bad of an idea that is for soooo many reasons, the biggest being I have no idea what the hell I'm doing yet! But it's gonna be fun, that's for sure! lol

I would say less than that, doing most of the work yourself as time allows.

I also have a nice pub height bar table and a couple stools in one corner of my shop....we jokingly refer to it as "The Bistro"! Good place to sit and have a beer with a friend or hang out if its raining or in the winter (I have a wood stove nearby as well). I am posting one in the classifieds shortly if you happen to like the idea? I just bought another one from a friend I liked better! Personalize the cave Vic and make it fun as well as functional!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
