    Smile Organizing flytying materials

    Hi Folks,
    Years ago I equipped my flytying area with an antique library card file to store some of my materials. Last week an opportunity presented itself for me to purchase another card file that is newer and made of a wonderful hard wood. It came from a well known local university that as digitized their card information. Bottom line is that when I bought the 15 drawer file for myself, I was offered another 15 drawers only so I bought them. I would like to make those drawers available to anyone who might have use for them. If you are not a skilled woodworker and cannot make a holding cabinet for the drawers, Home Depot has a closet shoe organizer that will hold the drawers.
    If anyone is interested in these drawers, I will take some photos and post them on the for
    sale board but I need some help in posting the photos. I don't have a clue as to how to do the photos.
    Looking forward to your input.

    Talking Proud of myself on this one!!!!!

    I've got all of my fly tying stuff listed on an Excel Spreadsheet. I was forced to do this when I came back to fly tying and fly fishing in 2000-2001. I had a lot of old fly tying material but very little memory of exactly what it was, the quality, quantity etc. I bit the bullet and recorded all of that inform plus location in my fly tying hoard. Once I had that done, all I had to do was keep the list update for new acqusitions and depletion due to use. It's really nice to have instantaneous access to that information. 8T

    I thought that the reason to have excess flytying material in the first place, is to cover up all areas of your desk / bench so you can't see any wood. whenever I get a bigger table I have an excuse to get more stuff...

    Mine is scattered all over my desk.
    But now you guys have me eyeballing the drawers on the L side of my pile.
    I have a library card file out in the shop for stuff out there, but having those 3 drawers back there would be really nice.
    Now you have me scratching my chin......
