Fly Tying Desks?

Anyone know who sells or makes fly tying desks/benches?new or 2nd hand...

Depends how much you want to spend. Botha and Barnard near Sedgefield, used to make some good ones, but they are seriously expensive, like upwards of 20K. Best to design one, and get a cabinet maker to build it for you. I found an antique roll top desk at an antique store, and it worked really well for me until I scaled down after my divorce, and then I sold it and got a small antique writing desk, which is great for me now, but the main thing is how much you want to spend.

Check the auctions on line like Hofmeyer Mills and Charles Rudd auction houses, Ashbeys too.
If anyone is not in Cape Town I will gladly look at a likely tying desk and report back. There is some great value to be had in the markets. Send me a photo or design and I will give a workable costing.
