My Tying Room

Since some have shown interest in my tying room I am going to post a few pictures. Remember paint is in another room.

Oh my I would have to guess, but a lot, way more than I cane to see what it is. 3 of the blue totes under the tables are about 27" two are high quality capes, saddles and not for jigs mostly. Also the one tote under the printer is just capes. One of the blue ones is all just from Conranch which is as high quality as it gets and dry fly quality.

I saw a blue saddle the other day on ebay go for over $400, but that is because the women have bought every good saddle there is in this country except for places like Conranch as he will not sell them all of his and he caters to fly tyers. The women have taken the saddle price up so much tiers can't buy them at a reasonable price, but I got all mine before that happened. I only have 4 wild color saddles and even thought about selling them because of the price they are going for. I don't need them that bad, LOL! See links below....

Whiting Grizzly/Fl. Pink Saddle Hackle P. .Fly Tying | eBay

I would hate to need them and have to pay that kind of price.:eek:. I'm with you on selling the ones you have. That would be a better investment than gold.:)

I need to start raising chickens. ;)

Well smooth you better hurry because this fashion thing is only going to last so long and then the prices will fall back to normal.

What the heck are they using feathers for in the fashion world?

It started with big long ear rings a little over a year ago and now they use the long thin saddle hackle for hair extensions.

Lol I just googled it. Wow!

Can you imagine getting a 5 miinute grab and run with the stuff in that room!!!!!!!!! Nice tying room there buddy, someday I'll have one, every time I get my stuff out I have to put it all away again (and yeah it's a pain having to do it)

OMG! Look at all that stuff! I could tie jigs and flys the rest of my life and not run out of material.

I would love to have a room like that very nice~

Thanks guys, it did take all 5 years to get this built up and still adding every month. Fatman a 5 minute grab and run would be a huge hit and that person could tie for many years on that much time. Heck these plastic chest one could probably grab the whole thing at one time, LOL!

Skip how do you keep track of your materials? Do you keep a inventory log in a book or on your computer. Very nice tying room, especially the nor that you have.

Thanks,
I just know what each box or chest drawer has in them. No inventory list at all. Sometimes I wish I had one, but then I would have to spend more time making and keeping it updated which I just don't have that much extra time. When I am the only one to pick materials, order them and keep them where I want, tie the jigs and package them, it's a bit much.

I have another Nor that has never been used yet (it's mounted on a base so if I want to I can tie some other place) and a Renzetti that I used for about a year that is in perfect condition and have plans to use it more for my new venture of rope dubbing. I can lower it even more than the Nor just because it will slide up and down so I can get it a little lower which I feel will help me what a small problem I am having with that technique. For my Nor I have ever conversion kit they make so it is very versatile.

I hope I can have a workshop like yours someday soon. :)

looks kinda messy to me skip you should send about half of that to me a you wouldn't have to worry about cluttering up your room.
