This may have already been done but we used to do the same thing when I raced online, snap a few pics of your "office". I dont tie jigs but may start in the near future and its a great way to see other tyers organization skills and setup.

I got a full basement, and mine takes up the whole basement. Do a search on Mancaves. You should find a few on there.
I haven't been able to teach him to tie jigs yet...very short attention span I guess.

I have taken some pics before so will try to show as much as I can, but all my powder paint is not in this room. These are taken from different sides.

Wow skip...that's ALOT of STUFF!:eek:
Yep Skip I think has us all beat. Mine is more radio and computer equipment than tying.LoLs Have to have my entertainment along with tying up those Crappie jigs. I have to be in constant communications with all my fellow hams through out the world. Lot of the time I listen to the BBC world service.

Well I know lots of guys don't believe me when I say that I put all my sales back into materials and usually I add some from my pocket too so more than I sell, LOL! When I say hobby that is exactly what this is and very addictive too so when my OCD kicks in how know what I will buy. I keep thinking I should sell some especially to the hair extension ladies. I do kind of worry what my wife would do if something happened to me.
I can't even tell you how many capes and saddles I have, but it's a bunch and includes some hens too.
Skip
here's mine, a series of gifts from the Wife via Cabela's
Skip With the price of those hair extension feathers. You have to wonder. Us old guys have to start to make a exit plan of some sort for our wives. I know that I don't want to burden my wife with all the junk that I have!! Know that I will be around for a while but there will become a day.
It some times becomes a question also of how much is enough? How long will I really want to do this? Would like to think that I will last forever but I know that is a dream. But with shaky hands and eyes that aren't getting any younger or better that day is coming.
I have always said a want to check out 5 minutes after my last friend is gone and I have spent my last nickle.

Redman, don't get me wound up. What I will one day leave behind isn't so bad, but the fact of loosing what few people I care about is a subject I have a hard time with. Too much time looking through the windshield. My Wife is a yard sale and flea market junkie so I know that any excess will be dealt with. Someone told me when I was in my early 20's that I finished this life with enough true friends to fill one hand that I would be a fortunate man. I don't want to be the last to go. They mean too much to me.
That's way too neat.
Do a search in this forum. You will find plenty threads with photos. Type jig tying station in the search box.
How is this Hunter LOL!!

That's more like it. :-)
I think about that a good bit my self and just don't know what to think about it, but it heavy on my mind lately. Just can't pull the trigger even though I keep thinking about it. I am not tying as much as I use to now already and still want to though. No way I need all this stuff to tie.Quote:

You guys have some nice tying stations for sure.
Skip
Len You are just to neat. My desk looks a mess most of the time with Mics , Telegraph keys, Note pads and pencils, Not to mention the coffee cups plural. Mix in a good portion of chenille, lead heads, paint and feathers throw in the tying tools and you got a good mess. LoLs. I swear one day I am going to get organized.
Redman
I'd post a pic of mine, but the camera is lost under a mound of feathers, tools, chenille, heads, and many other piles of CRAP!
I'm wondering how much more skip has buried in the closets if it's anything like what I used to have in my closet I guess that's what happens when you get married my wife told me to get that junk out of their so I had to start a new tying room we haven't taken any pictures but we have two different setups one for plastics and one for tying in a course I have my tying station in my bedroom because I used to have a small bed which turned into a king size bed she told me to get all the goodies out of the room when I did that it was or wasn't anything in the room left I hated to see my hobby moved out of someplace for I truly enjoyed to be but we've made it a little bit better now hope she doesn't side to tell me to move my plastics I will be in big trouble of course this is the shop and I told her to stay out of my shop it is comfortable mess he is it is we will try to post some pictures when I get a chance.
do not get organized you will know where everything is any more redman.Quote:

one thing about it skip me you both are happy being a addicted I can't think of anything better in the world to do I think I've had more fun over the years to see what they're coming out with next in materials and we seem to put everything that we can touch into use even if it's not even for making jigs we will find a purpose or incorporating different materials.Quote:

I am working on straighten up things so that you can see my Man Cave/ Tying area. It will take a few days so please be patient.

I think it was led heds mold and pouring room that I still can't get over. Hundreds of molds, and he ties too.
