OK guys I am new to this tying business and trying to set my work station up so that it is cohesive. Please post some pics of what your work stations look like so that I may start the brain storming on what are the must haves and the I like that's.

I built mine out of some old kitchen cabinets.

Took an extra cabinet door and cut a 15 degree angle spaced at 1 inch for my chenille. Then I just hung it on the wall.

The card board cement tubes at Lowes and a little spray paint make an awesome flash display. I put it on one of those cheap plastic plate spinners from Wally World. Bought a thread holder in the material and thread section at Wally World.

Took another extra cabinet doors and made a tool display.

A metal dowel with the name tag clips for badges works great for hanging bags in plain sight.

Also used the name tag clips and screwed them to the inside of the doors. Door on the right are my ducks, door on the left are my arctic fox. Plastic drawers left top deer tails, bottom left craft fur, Chicken on the right.

This is the messy times. Soon I'm adding yet another sections. An air brush booth, powder painting area, and another area for making spinners and bending wire.

There's mine.

This is where I want to be in the long run .... I have a few of those items mentioned laying around and they wil lbe getting reperposed very soon thanks for the ideas
Here is some shots of my areas. I mainly pour jig heads now and do not tie as much as I use to. That is why my tying station looks like a small atomic bomb blew up in it. LOL
The first photograph is of my North wall in my tackle room. I am in the process of trying to find a work bench or a desk that I can put along this wall between the white cabinent on the left and the shelf on the right. When I find the desk/bench that I want, it will be where my tying station will be at and also where I will make bass lures and inline spinners.

This is my West wall. This is where I do my pouring at. I have a 20# and a 10# furnace on this table. Also if you look behind the table and to the right. You will see a magnetic strip that I use to keep my pouring tools where I can get to them.

This is the North Wall in the tackle room. At the moment my tying station is on an old typing table. I need to clean this thing up badly. I just never seem to remember until I sit down to tie a few jigs. LOL
Attachment 186035
This is my East wall. It is where I keep all of the molds that I use for making jig heads and sinkers. It is kind of self explanatory. LOL Also in the three drawer plastic storage bins, I keep the tying supplies that I use for tying mostly.

Mine is so crammed in, it's not easy to really show, but here are a couple pics... So much of mine is hidden in these drawers or even in a few 5 gallon buckets under the desk, LOL! Wish I had a lot more room actually.
