jsmartt an answer to your question

I wanted to answer your question without derailing/hijacking betty's post so here goes.

Nope I am not a biologist.

When i moved out on my own I was given a stuffed rattlesnake as a "pet" since my apartment didnt allow pets. It became quite the conversation piece when people visited so I wanted to give it a "cool" name. in searching for a name I can across the latin name for rattlesnake - Crotalus Adamanteus. That sounded cool, so he was named Crotalus.

When i got into online gaming I needed a cool screen name. The snake sat on a shelf near my computer and things just sorta fell into place.

I still have the sname (13+ years later) but now he overlooks my tying table

Sorry that was long winded but i think it is cool when people recognize the screen name for its latin origin.

Now I am hijacking your post. Sorry--I did a double take on your picture you posted! My thread spool holder hangs on the wall to my left plus I have that same wooden box for fly tying material on my fly tying table!! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif
It is really a great box for fly tying material!

That's the thread holder from JoAnn's I did a review on,,, good one!

I noticed in your picture that you have the book "Trout Flies." I received that same book for Christmas last year; 'tis a good book.

It never ceases to amaze me how everyone ELSE is so neat and organized!
Yep. Two of them spool racks....with all kinds of stuff on'em. Not just spools. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

Dang your fly tying area is neat and orderly!

JC, actually that thread holder is from WalMart, but probably pretty much the same thing.


And for everyone who thinks it is neat, well fooled ya!! I cleaned the table when i got the new wooden box, took the picture and about 10 minutes later had it completely cluttered again. Right now i have about a 6" swatch of clear space around my vise http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

If you don't mind my asking, Where did you get the box. It appears to be exactly what I need.
Thanks,
Mike

I got mine around Christmas time at Lowes.
