Re: Workareas?

I had an old girlfriend that was like a used drafting desk...does that count?

Yeah, my wife is always saying, "think outside the box", and it's true. Beading is such a huge hobby these days, and it's amazing what you can find that will work for model kit building, as Urban has mentioned too. It strikes me that a sewing station would indeed have some need cubbies. I plan on using one of my two drafting desks (I picked up a "craft" table that I used as a small illustrating station in my basement art studio at our last house (a very small ranch house)...I consider myself very lucky that I now have an Art Studio separate from the house, and my modeling work area in the basement where I can shut the door and leave everything as is.

A fly fisherman who ties (makes) his own flies. Flytyer is the term.

Re: Workareas?

Hmm, there's a slight difference between "tyer" n' "tire"...

Yep, thats for sure.

Tire - meaning: to get tired of something or somebody.
Or Exhaust through overuse or great strain or stress.
Eg. "They began to tire themselves out early into the long run by..."

Ty´er - meaning: One who ties, or unites.

Tyre - meaning: A device covering the circumference of a wheel.


Cheers,
Dave

Of course in the US a "tyre" is a tire. So we put new tires on our cars.
