I had an Epiphany!

After I saw Andy's "I need some advice" post and a "My Tying Room" on another forum, I realized I was really missing the boat in my tying space so this morning I went to work. Most of you have seen my tying space, it's just an old steel office desk with some drawer units on top. Here is the before

I've been able to turn out jigs OK but I was constantly having to move stuff around to open a drawer to get paint or other items in the bottom drawers.
Then I realized I had 4 huge drawers full of junk right at my knees. I cleaned them out and now all my powder paint is in 3 drawers and I don't have to move anything to get to them, plus, all my unpainted jigheads are in the big middle drawer easily accessable.

I know it doesn't look much different but it is WAY better organized for my purpose.

Vern.... I think you could powder coat the moon with all that paint!!! LOL

 

[Pepop]

Prolly but I'd have to get it closer to the sun for the powder to stick!

Looks good but I will never put up a pic of my tying room . Cause all I'd here I JEEZ WHAT A SLOB!!!!!

 

[JSC]

Looks good but how long will it stay that way ?

You still have more room on the shelfs to the left...... now get to cleaning so you can buy MORE STUFF! Nice stash of powder paint you have.

 

[LedHed]

Yep - clean it up to add more stuff... Looks good Pepop

Nice looking tying space, Vern. Mine is a small 3 drawer roll around I bought at wallyworld for 10 bucks, and a workbench in the garage for pouring and painting. Most of my tying is done on the kitchen table on weekends after the wife and kids go to bed, and I can't go fishing early in the morning.

All is see missing is a radio and a keg box.... Nice!

HA! I keep it pretty quiet when I'm tying and this is a "home office" so any beverage I might want is just in the next room.

Very nice looking tying room, it is so hard to keep thing where they need to be.

 

[AtticaFish]

But, gosh, that is a long walk. I am betting if you threw a couple ice packs in that safe..... you could keep a 6-pack cold long enough to get you through the night. :beer:

Now I see how you can tye such nice jigs. Seeing all of that material....I am not even in the novice class. You are certainly in the instructor class. Nice jigs and I will continue to ask questions of you
