With hunting seasons winding down here, this can be a boring time of year. I love to just stump shoot but it’s not as fun when temperatures are in the teens. I’ve been fletching my own arrows for over 25 years, and I’ve always setup and worked on my own bows. Currently I have stuff stashed in a closet then pull it out as needed. I’m thinking about building a small workbench or desk for archery work and keeping my stuff organized in one location. Anyone have pics of their setups?
Thanks,
Jay

I usually set up to build my arrows on that bench that the .300 Win is sitting on, it's 60" long so plenty of room for the arrow saw and anything else needed. There is plenty of horizontal space in this room, I do my cartridge loading, gunsmith work, arrow building and muzzleloader building there.
The benches I ordered off Amazon, they are 60" X 20" and 48" X 24" bolted together with a L bracket and a straight bracket, adjustable height and oak topped.

I use my Great Grandfather’s old desk. I covered it with a piece of 3/4” plywood. Then a thick piece of cardboard. Been working for me for a couple decades now.

Wow, David, that's a nice setup. My stuff is scattered across multiple shelves and tables. I recently added some storage drawers for small parts which allowed me to clean up a lot of work surface on my main workbench, and also put my most commonly used stuff (nock pliers, nock tying thread, string wax, lighter, xacto knives, etc.) in one of those portable gun butlers which has worked out great.

60” Milwaukee bench with maple top and tons of storage. Added a vice and extra lighting. Doubles as a reloading bench in addition to selfbow and arrow building along with leatherwork. It’s especially nice this time of year when it’s frigid out. The bench is adjacent to my office so I do the “dirty work” outdoors.

I just work in my knife shop when I need to do something archery related. I don't have a dedicated space for stick bows.
