Any recs for tying cabinet?

[Dave Boyle]

Even something like this would be cool.

It’s very lovely of course but nah, I don’t like it from my perspective, a lot of stuff is too far out of reach and hidden, my memory is too crap to know what’s where.

Looks like an office in a museum. My aim would be to be like a fly shop where most stuff is visible and just ‘there’. I have loads of 3’fers because I don’t know what I have. Not a bad thing but I could have more different stuff...

For reference, here is what I'm working with now.

I'm still kicking around ideas. At first I thought about just adding a cabinet to get rid of the plastic.

Now I'm thinking of extending the pegboard from wall to wall and seeing if I can find a big desk that would fill the space with built in drawers like the one I posted above.

I am still working on getting a custom desk made, so most of my stuff starts in my "go" bags. But even with that my wife swears there is more stuff on my tying table than in a lot of fly shops she has been in, this is my only concern with getting it all paid y out and organized with labels. Hahahahah

Do you have plans drawn up?

 

[CreekScrambler]

All my stuff fits in one file cabinet drawer plus perhaps a shoebox. I must be doing it wrong. Some of these setups are positively palatial. I thought I was going overboard by considering loading my dubbing packs into a dispenser box.

You're going from an awesome tying station to an even more awesomer tying station, Swimmy. Good luck!

Seems like a fly tying station has relatively unique needs that aren't found in standard furniture. That probably explains the improvised systems and specialty/full custom furniture. The XL desk sample you posted is money.

I am having Kurt come over and build me one of these:


On a serious note; storage solutions are tough for fly tying. I really only tie streamers and have a closet full materials in plastic containers/peg board as well. I have thought about a “nicer” solution but I am pretty sure it just means I’d have plastic containers stacked all around and on top of said nicer solution.

I picked up this for storing full skins and it has been great. Everything on shelves right next to the desk, but out of sight.
Even matches the roll top desk, bonus points.

This should work....

I work with this. All materials that are insect prone are kept in about 30 labeled plastic containers stored out of sight in a large closet devoted to wall shelves. When needed they come out of hiding. Tools, threads, adhesives and the like have a permanent home in the roll top desk.

I want that spool organizer.

 

[Speyrod GB]

I want that spool organizer.

I think someone will be going to the craft store.

 

[GLC]

Most any sewing supply store like JoAnn's will carry that spool organizer. Here is one online location, with many more to explore....Good Luck shopping.
