Your Tying Set Up

[Tweed]

No studio, but does me fine  :lol: . . . .

To be fair, if I know I'm going to enter one of my "tying phases" - they usually last a couple of months and then I lose interest again - I'll set up a permanent desk in the spare room.  But you can't beat a few flees tied in front of the tele with a cuppa!   

Oh, and cheers for the inspiration - a few for the new season tonight!

Alex, is that one of those trays with the bean bag on the bottom of it?

Setup very much like Tweed's but with a bigger toolbox to hold even more stuff I don't use

I got back into tying a few years back and tied alot mostly during the winter, just can't seem to get back into it this winter though.

Aye Fred. Very hi-tech

I just bought a few of these trays Alex. I didn't even know such things existed a few weeks ago -   :lol:  - they are great, dead stable.

As mentioned when your fly tying gear is not handy, by the time I get the wee one of to bed I havent got any energy left to get started, but if its set up then I might have a couple of flies in me. I was running out of flies when fishing the last few seasons and was lucky to find any fly to fish with never mine having a choice to make.

As I'm trying to organise will be good to to get ideas from others, one idea I've had come from tying offshore. When faced with a desk that has one drawer underneath but no lip to attach clamp type vice which I use (those who use pedestal base wont have this problem) I opened the drawer which then allows the clamp to be attached. After tying some flies I decided that this was actually a really useful feature as the waste material goes in the drawer, you can store the tools and materials in the drawer when finish, shut the draw and everything is tidy and out of sight. All you have to do is clear the drawer out once in a while.

If you have space for a set up like Freds then your sorted !

In the same boat as you on both counts!  :lol:  Tied next to nothing last winter so was scrabbling around for allsorts of stuff when I did make it out fishing.

I saw a nice and simple design in a similar thread on another forum and ripped it off using the leftovers from a shelving project. It's pretty handy as I can haul it down from aforementioned shelves and then stick it back up out of reach of little hands when I'm finished. The back is blanked off with a bit of hardboard and I can pack a fair bit of gear in under all the bobbins.

Good set up Guddler and I like this approach if you dont have the space for a set up like Freds, just now I dont have a shelf big/high enough, but that could change   :?
Now I'm packing the tools and materials back into a fishing box and putting a pad lock on
This box just holds what I'm currently working on with other boxes kept in another room well out of reach.

I like that set up of Guddler's  too. Very practical.

My Setup is almost identical to Freds however, no photo for now as my wife would never forgive me if a posted a photo of that room without first giving her notice so she could hoover and polish the already hoovered and polished surfaces :roll:
