As far as the light, though, I got the simple Ott desk lamp with the 13w tube on sale at JoAnn's over the winter and now I wonder how I ever got along without it. 100% better (and easier on the eye fatigue) than any incandescent setup.
LOL. I tie semi-commercially and it seems my orders all are in the #18-#20 sizes. Don't get me wrong, I tie a good deal of 14 and 16's as well. One of my most productive flies around here is a #18 Stimulator. It's not nearly as difficult to tie as you might think. The hardest part is getting the amount of hair for the wing correct - most people want to put in far more than you need (or will fit on a #18 TMC 200R), once you've got that down, the rest is relatively easy.

Thanks guys for all the replies, they've been really beneficial. I'm thinking that I'm going to take a ride to some of the craft shops this weekend and check out the different OTT lights.
