I liked renovating the desk. now everything is bagged and organized.

cmon guys! 76 views and no replies?! tell me what you think!!!

They good looking jigs I do like the wire basket for hanging them that gives me a idea on making my own rack for hanging my jigs

Hey you should get one of the foam tool caddy's that Renzetti sells. They don't cost all that much and hole a good many tools for you. Here is what they look like...

i do like the ties too and that worm looks like it could have promise for a big Bass on a fly rod which should be fun. D you have the name of the pattern on your flies?

no specific pattern, just tied something i think would work. thanks for the link.

I have a station that holds a lot, but I just had too much so I got one of the ones in that link and it's really great!

unlike you, i dont have much, but that will def work for me. i like my little shelf, as it doesnt get in the way much.

Well I have had years and years to accumulate tools and then in some minds I am sure too much, LOL! I don't like taking time to. Change colors as when tying for others and have more than one can stand, anytime used on things like that slow down everything. You get so changing colors of tail feathers means putting up a bunch of my little V's that have built up over the last 10 years or so and what ever hackle I have opened and stuff that back in with the rest and put it up, them bring out another bag and dump out the V's and hackle, cut what you need and then ready for the next color. You get to thinking taking out and putting up materials and the cutting of the feathers gets to be a large amount of time especially f changing colors on every 4 pack. So you look for every possible way to save time since you can only get so fast tying a jig.

not to worry you will accumulate more stuff as time passes.

haha, hopefully i will.

And that is what's so great about your ties. No rules. You might be on the edge of the next great design. I'm all in in the jigs, but maaaan you could spice em up even more by painting your heads.
The flies I know nothin about, but I would think you can't go wrong with anything that looks like em. Not familiar with flies and am sure something similar exists, but even if not, I am sure yours will be copied by someone wanting to catch a fish.
That worm is way creative! Texas rig it with a liite bullet weight and hold on. And hope it holds up.
Great work. Don't worry about a lack of replies, keep tying and more importantly…… fishing. Fishing will give you every reply you need.

Thanks micro. Once i invest in a fluid bed and more powder paint, i will be paintin em up, down and sideways.... literally!

I do accept material donations, though i dont like too, but being a teenager with no money or job, i have too. i hate asking my mom for money too, but she said shell put away some money for me.

Heh, I know about money issues and I'm a grown man. Be thankful for Quints generosity and build from there.
Borrow your moms nail polish. Cut the neighbors yard, trade in some bball cards, catch snakes and sell em to pet shop…
They'll catch fish with or without paint.
Just fish. I think we get caught up in what others think too much when the answer is on the water.

h\yeah i am extremely thankful because of him, and shoot, more people have offered to send me a sample of jigheads and chenille.

as for mowing, the only neighbors i know is my grandparents, and he cuts his yard to perfection, no baseball cards, and ill be danged if i touch a snake.

though i could sell some old vintage tackle, and maybe sell some jigs. probably need to sell some of my videogames too. i may be able to get my grandad to make me a mold, and my dad can pour lead, he makes egg sinkers. any more ideas for a desperate jig tyer that also wants a yak? if i can buy materials first, i can then make jigs to sell, then buy a yak and more materials.
