The Man Cave
« on: March 23, 2014, 12:09:20 PM »
You guys have seen the Office section of my basement where the big tank is at but I don't think I have ever shared pictures of the other area of the basement where I build custom fly rods. I decided to take this weekend and clean the shop top to bottom. Not only clean but rearrange things to make working more productive/easier, tossed some old worn out items like rugs that were covered with epoxy/finish/paint and replace them with new ones as well as adding more and better lighting.

Few pics of Outdoor Man-Cavetopia.

That's why hes getting the 265 running... so he can fish in the basement in his off season.
I have about 18,000 rounds of .223 I'm  looking to get rid of, 100 rd bags. 1-4 bags $40 ea, 5-9 bags $38 ea, 10 or more bags $35 ea. I can't put this in the for sale section, its not fish related. No shipping.

Steve, basement looks perfect. Checked your website, not much on it in terms of available rods for sale... Are you still building? If you are, shoot me a pm please...

Cheers,

Glen
There's always room for one more tank.

Oh yeah building all the time, it's actually what I have been doing for my full time job the past 8-9 years now. Just can't keep rods in stock long enough to list on my site is all, which I guess is a good thing.

Thanks, I've actually had a few customers that have picked up rods try to buy that lamp from me. But I made that myself a few years back and never have been able to part with it.
