Cleaned off my tying benches today

[Gene L 0]

And now can't find anything. I'm just not organized and have a weakness for material. My benches are back to back with different vises on each of them, so if I want to do rotary, I just turn around.

 

I wish I had an organized bone in my body, but lack any sort of skill. I just put stuff away and when it my tray for that material gets full, I pick up the random container nearest my bench. I could furnish a large Thai fly tying concern for several months.

I like to put stuff back into its bag and into my drawer. That's if im not using is for the flies that I am tying at the moment. And for the excess materials, maybe try using a waste basket? Ive seen them at the basspro fly tying bench and they look cheap,convenient, and effective. Every Sunday afternoon(after church) I vacuum all the excess from my "bench" and the floor. That takes a good 10 minutes but is well worth it!

I pretty much label everything and then when I go to tie I make little bins with the required material needed for what ever I'm tying. If I don't do that then ill end up with a complete mess lol.

Maybe a third bench would help

My wife decided to clean my tying desk last week while I was busy doing other things.

Still trying to find certain things, I think she threw away the hares mask but won't admit it.

I got a bunch of plastic bins from the dollar store and label them with a sharpie and have them stacked on shelves under my long table. One day I may get a big roll top desk for it all. One day. Maybe.

I keep my tying stuff in one dresser drawer in one bedroom. Don't tie as much as I used to so it's no big deal to pull out what I need.

Check Craigs list,I just bought a nice one using their site.It looks like a lot of people are getting rid of these desk for some reason. Make sure it not one made for computers.

That could get awkward when "private time" with the misses comes around!
