A lot messier than yours. I know a shrink that can help with that neatness issue.

Popperfly you have a great area to tye on. My table looks worse than Ron Eagle Elk's table...lol. I have got to clean that thing up, it is hard to find materials in the pile of mess. I tye flies on two tv tray tables. It isn't pretty, but it works for now.
Ree's is neater than mine. :lol:
Well, here's mine set up in a corner of the basement.

What!!.....you think I am crazy....... I cleaned it before posting pictures :)
There are a several possibilities; 1 - He has his house up for sale and his wife made him clean up the room to show the house; 2 - It's a new antique desk he got for Christmas and he hasn't started using it yet; 3 - His mother or her mother came over for Christmas and he had to straighten up for Mom; 4 - SWMBO explained the consequences of not straighten up that corner of the house.
First off you notice it appears to be a nice piece of antique furniture he uses for a desk, I have my son's old college desk and a tying bench made from scrap plywood and wood pallet scraps. I would be afraid of spilling something on a nice piece like that.
I don't think I'da told that on myself.
Wow dave that set up is awesome, I wish i could devote a space like that to fly tying, it's looks like a miniature fly shop for your personal use.
This is not a retail shop and not open the general public.

OK,This is Chris Helm's fly Studio in his basement (so maybe this is his ENTIRE basement). When you order anything from him at http://www.whitetailflytieing.com/index.htm, he just grabs it off the shelf and mails it to you. more or less.
Still, how cool would THIS set up be to have in your basement?????
Here's a photo of my desk. I keep the majority of my materials in plastic containers inside of the closet in the room.

Bass Bug/ALL,
Love the wood on those thread display cabinets at Chris Helms fly studio! My fly tying area is down for maintenance (excessive dust), plus it's buried under a pile of hunting gear! Hopefully I will get my mess cleaned up by New Years (not a resolution!), but I'm not holding my breath! LOL!!! Happy tying in 2011 everybody!
Best regards, Dave S.
DUB,
Just trying to learn something new with this question?
What do you use the Mod Podge for?
The tupperwear drawers on the left contain my feathers, hides, eggyarns, etc... the drawers on the righ contain my wifes "art/crafts" supplys.
I was going to tell a small fabrication about a very complicated Stone fly pattern that I discovered in India that used Modge Podge, but I couldnt bring myself to do it.
Well it always looks like this, mostly because I tye em and then I fish em...
Happy New year to all..

Gadabout,
Yea, I had the photo on the Flytying Forum a couple of years ago when they were doing a similar thread. In fact, one of the members there took the time to scan a bunche of sites for tying setups and then put them together on one post. Here is a link to the post as I imagine a lot of people on this board might like to see it. There are certainly a lot of ideas to be gleaned from some of the setups. You will need to scroll down some to see the photos.

I err on the side of mayhem...Quote:
It is interesting to see how many are neat and tidy compared to how many appear to function in complete mayhem.
Chewy,
I love the peacock herl 'dispenser'! Classic!!!!!!!
chewydog,
Sorry, but I would have to put you in the neatnic category! I was going to say slob, but after the first two pictures, your stuff got way to squared away. Besides your tying area looks way better organized then mine AFTER I've cleaned it up. Thanks for entering our contest, please try again next year! (which is today) LOL!!!!
Best regards, Dave S.
I probably would fall into the neat category, but have a couple of good reasons.

The good reason are as follows

If I leave stuff out and forget to shut the door I have way too much help reorganizing it.
I have managed to get a start on my club's fly swap - the start to some Birds Nest Depth Charges.

So I am taking note of the other post on the Forum (Normand's) and will try to contribute more rather than just sitting back and reading.
mine is rather simple

Much to organized Norman. How do you find anything? lol.
Hey i'm reading the lost symbol right now, and is that "Trout" by Bergman on the bottom shelf I see there? Nice collection Normand
My tying desk is very sad right now. It's clean, and hasn't seen flys tyed in months.
How does anyone get anything done with all this organization?
