Clean up the mess
When my Tying corner is made neat and tidy

It's mostly within a few days an complete mess again.:cool:
Am I the only person or can this problem be shared with other fellows?
And how do you handle this with your wife? :D

I dont talk to my wife for weeks at a time so it doesnt apply to me.

My wife is also a tyer so she understands completely. Besides, I don't complain when she's tying deer flies and there is deer hair all over our tying room (She does my share of the deer hair flies).

i took 4 hours to clean my area thursday and tied 2 dozen flies yesterday and it is worse than yours

Every now and them I'll have a clean up night, where I'll put away anything that isn't already plucked from the skin/trimmed from the main body, etc. Then I'll tie whatever flies I can from the 'scraps' that remain.
That said, when my bench gets messy, sometimes you wonder if it will start to move under its own power...like a small jabba the hutt made out of fur, feathers, and small bits of metal.

I am a messy tyer too. I can make quite a mess just tying 3-4 flies in a session. My table looks like a cyclone hit it. Until I get more room to tye, I guess it will stay that way. I do clean it now and then. I find all kinds of stuff I had lost, or forgot that I had when I do...rotfl. Oh, to answer your question, I am a woman, so I don't have to worry about the wifey. I am not married at this time either. Now I do have two kids. They don't care for my hobby too much. My daughter really doesn't like the mess. But she leaves junk around all the time. So after all, it is my house, and what I want to do in here is my business. If you are a person who has a spouse, it is a good idea to have your own tying room. Then you can just shut the door, and say this is my area, just leave it alone. I tie in the living room, in a corner. So my mess is easily noticed. I won't have a tying room until one of my kids moves out, which looks like it will be a few years from now.

CLOSE UP THE MESS

This is added after reading some of the subsequent posts. I have to thank the wife's kitty for the Roll-Top Desk. Wife bought it for me after kitty gifted her with a really ripped up, splintered between the toes, snow shoe rabbits foot. :)

I divorced her. No more problems.

That is something like I would love to get when a room opens up around here. That is if I can afford one I will get one. That desk is a BEAUTY!

I just tell her that unless she wants to start buying the flies she takes from me, just let it be.
