New tying area

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Well i have been feed up with not being able to find what i'm looking for when tying and havent to dig through 15 tupperware containers so the other night i ended up buying a 4x8' sheet of pegboard,a million hooks

made a thread stand and a few other things and now i think this is going to work out pretty nice for me.

Looks really good. Similar to what I want to do once I have my own room. Someday when I move, I'll have it. LOL.

I like the pile of plain brown envelopes off in the right corner. Seem to be lots of them there. Do you get a lot od 'stuff' in the mail in plain brown envelopes the sd?

Wait, I have a pile just like that too!!

Very nice little set up. Nothing better then a place for everything and everything in its place. Could we have another pic in a week or two?

I can't see the prices on those materials. Maybe zoom in a bit more!

Do you have any Fuchsia biggots?

lol

I like searching for materials in my case its kind of like finding hidden treasure all the time!

Looks good though.

Steve that looks great

Your bench sure looks better than the last time you posted a pic of it.

"Peg board" thats a great idea

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.

Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

hey wait a minute! thats a picture of the tying material aisle at FlyMart isn't it? "...this morning shoppers, we're having a fabulous Blue light special on hot glue!"...oops, that's TB's bench...sorry Steve! Looks great...keep the price tags on the bags and you can pretend you are in the fly shop! Maybe curb the appetite to splurge on new materials. Good luck maintaining and Happy Tying!

Not to change the topic but...

Does anyone else have this problem.

Get out some cash to go buy materials. After spending a hour or so maybe more you come to the check out counter but find somehow you've accumulated way more than what you intended to spend. Now instead of putting some of the items back you pull out the old faithful plastic.

Why is it I forget how to add once I step inside a fly shop? Works fine when I'm shopping with my wife and kids.
