Title: Fly Tying Storage Again
Post by: Wildfisher on May 04, 2009, 09:20:07 PM
After finally deciding if I didn?t do something about this I was certain to go nuts my wife gave me 2 plastic cabinets she used  to use to hold fabric etc. They are great and  on castors so I just wheel them  to the desk then wheel them back when I?m done.

Don?t ask me how much they cost or where she got them, she can?t remember but thinks it was either Argos or Costco.

All I need now is some moth balls and I?m away.

Costco I think, though check out Lidl from time to time.
Real 33rpm vinyl and a "stereo system" as well- Antiques Roadshow here we come!

Maybe the other ones are just really small?

Or maybe they are just far away... :)

There?s an original 1968 copy of Led Zeppelin 1 in that lot. Complete with all the original scratches. It keeps me from becoming dazed and confused, but I still have good times bad times when tying for Steve?s mega flee swaps.

I tied some flies last night using the new system. Hassle free, I should have done it years ago.

The downside?

The room stinks of mothballs, I'll have to reduce the amount used, 3 per drawer is obviously too much.  :D
