My "minimalist" fly tying area

I have made it a goal to “minimize” & “economize”. This meant better organization so I pretty much know what I have & need. Hooks are under the sliding top of the tying station which is placed as pictured so I may slide the top without moving vice & other items. Storage in the clear bins is by “type” of material & the "trash trough is another great creation from our own James Smith…Thanks Jim!! This setup has helped me already & here are some pics…

Pics & detail of my extremely economical rod storage will be posted on the main forum.

Awesome station, Ohio!!! I look forward to the rod storage, too!

Mike,

Nice looking tying area; except it’s so clean and neat that it’s kinda creepy. It sort of reminds me of one of the “mock” houses they used in testing atomic weapons.

…but then again my area reminds me of the the same house after the blast:)

I’ve gotten a few requests for more information about the Trash Trough. I plan to submit an article to FAOL in the next week or so that should provide all the information you’ll need.

Looks pretty extravagant to me!

I have never had a place I can leave my vise set up

The pics aren’t showing up for me…:frowning:

No Pictures!

No Pics here either

Looks like those photo’s went to the bucket two :smiley:

My photobucket went nuts! I would post 3 pics, all copied as different picture #s, then 3 of the same pics would post. I finally closed my photobucket account & plan to re-open it & straighten things out. Photobucket says I should be able to reopen an account using my same email within 48 hours…I can only hope! It is most likely something I did wrong initially, but what a mess!
I’ll let you folks know when all is ok.

Hi Mike,

I’ve always thought that pictures of tying areas were absolutely the best kind of fish porn. If you could get those pictures operational again, it would be great. If not, that’s Ok too. 8T :slight_smile:

I can’t explain why, but I like pics of tying areas. I guess I pick up pointers and ideas and use them myself.

Clean is wrong! It’s that simple. What good is being able to find everything?

For those of us space challenged…here’s one of my tying areas…a converted closet

Hey if I ever sell the place someone might use it as a computer center.

There’s a few tips and tricks in that mess…

Hi Duckster,

Now that’s the type of tying porn that I just love. Your spot looks both comfortable and functional. 8T :slight_smile:

Ducksterman;

That is KOOL I never considered peg board. I like what you done.

This site is soooo full of info

Since you brought up pegboard here’s an idea for it. This is the back of a door in that room…the door is usually open and this side is out of sight.
Another idea for the spatially challenged…

Folks…I goofed & triple loaded some pics on Photobucket on 2/23. When I went to delete the “extras”, a message said that may cause problems, but I deleted 2 of the 3 pics anyway. After that, I would copy & paste 3 DIFFERENT piictures here, with different picture numbers, ie 646, 647, & 650…that’s how they showed here, but when I hit “post” the same picture came up 3 times! I am sure I created the mess & felt that if I cancelled my account & re-opened it, I would be ok. I DID cancel on 2/23 & the site said my account would close in 48 hours, but it hasn’t…I figure I screwed that up too! :oops: At any rate, I re-cancelled just a short while ago, so I hope to be able to post pics again either late Saturday night or Sunday. What bothers me most is that I felt this thing was worth sharing & I WILL do that…eventually!
Stay tuned!
Mike

YIPPEE! I was not the culprit & neither was my 'puter! Adobe Flash Player 10 had “issues” with Photobucket & here is the solutuion…I now only use the mouse (left click) to highlight IMG code, then, using my keyboard, Ctrl c to copy & Ctrl v to paste. It is that simple. Here are the pics…

FINALLY!!!
Mike

Mike,

Mike those are some large dumbbell eyes I see in your pics. What flies do you make with those? :rolleyes:

You are way to organized. lol
