misfish Posted March 16, 2022 Report Posted March 16, 2022 We all know those days when we say to self,I need this,that and ya,more if this. Well today was the day I finally figured out,I really do not need more,well I do,but will have to get another station to store it. When I started fly tying I had a small box given to me by Fisherman, a plain vice and some supplies. Just wanted to have something to do on those non fishing days .Once I realized there was so much to tie, well, I need to buy more of this,more of that and ya,some more of everything. About a week ago,I was told I had to get my mess cleaned up. Was not sure what she meant,as I knew where everything was lying around. HA HA HA. Well she was right,I had stuffed stashed here and there,bags of stuff here,box or 2,3,4 over there. Ok I get it now, so I picked up a new storage cart to go with what I already had bought to store my stuff. I started off with a small 3 drawer thing,then bought the multy drawer thing. Figured that was good enough,but now my new station with the addition of the 12 drawer seems to have gotten 3/4 of my stuff out of bags,boxes and off the floor.I have I have more stuff then I thought,but I need it ALL. 😂 When she gets home,I am sure she will be pleased,but shhhhhhhhhhh, she can not know I just bought a bunch more supplies today, that I need,want. 4 1
Fisherman Posted March 16, 2022 Report Posted March 16, 2022 You could make it in the army, all well organized and you already have a Sergeant Major to keep you in line, lol. 2

Do not be fooled. If I open those drawers,things will pop out. Yes,I learned to do tight sheet corners,but not in the Army.LOL 1
aplumma Posted March 16, 2022 Report Posted March 16, 2022 I guess I am guilty as well, I have way to many bits, parts, and pieces of assorted metal scraps for making brackets and such. I just can't seem to throw them away. They never fit into the bucket or stand in the corn right. Art 1

LOL Yours B, are “organic,” made locally with lots of TLC, and a cold one. Field tested by many satisfied fishers. Well worth the extra cost. 1

porkpie Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 Your not the first guy with a hobby gone wrong pal! You won’t be the last! It’s like guns, the trick is to get it into the safe without getting caught. Then one looks just like the others. Hooks and feathers are no different!! 2
Moosebunk Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 Be careful Brian... many ties require a lot of head cement. ALOT!!! If you're finding yourself dizzy or with headache, put the glue down and step away from the vise into fresh air... preferably to go fishing.

What a head ache I got. I use Sally Hansen hard as nails if I want that hard finish. Lots of my stuff now is UV res, but I keep the light away from my face when curing .

Sinker Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 I won't show you my guitar collection/music gear, gun collection, decoy collection, and we aren't even going to talk about fishing tackle and rods/reels. Nope, not even going there. I might need a hand building another shed.......:) 3
