Supply cabinet..

What do you use for a suppl cabinet?
I am thinking about building one that will be 4ft all and 16" wide and 12" deep. Bottom pull out drawer will be 10" tall and then next one 6" then the rest will be 3" and 2".
Add Dividers to each drawer to allow plenty of storage and store marabou and stuff in them.
Have some for different size hooks and jigs and even one to hold finished jigs. Also one to hold all the thread spools .
Build the top with dowel rods across it to hold my jigs while tying them. and a place to hang the ones that I just finished up.
Trying to get some ideals. Will also have full drawer slides on each drawer that kind that close when they get within 3" of closing .

Right now I use a basketball gym bag. I have been looking at thrift stores for one I can modify, but have not found the one I envision yet.

Here is one that Treefrog posted.

Thanks ship.
Mine will be narrow and 4ft or so tall. Have it in my head just need to cut out all the wood and put it together. Then see how it works.
Be nice to have a place to store stuff out of the way.

I have one of the little tool organizers with the pull out drawers for thread, hooks, jigheads, and my cut pieces of chenille that I keep in front of me instead of on the skein of chenille. I also use 2 bottom ones that I keep bagged painted jigheads for other orders and next to it the bagged painted jigheads I'm not currently using for the order I'm filling then.
For bucktails, kiptails, powder paint, krystal flash, dubbing, feathers, ect, I keep them in little plastic organizer pull out drawers. It works and I already had them.

let me know how mutch when you build one and i may place my order. ha ha
i use an old computor desk that covers 2 walls that i found at a yard sale last year

Right now my PC desk is covered with stuff from tying and it makes it hard to find anything if you do lay it down now. LOL
Fish-WVa I will let you know when I get it done and post some pictures. But as slow as I am it will take me a month to do it.

The best thing I have used over the years is what I use now it is a storage cabinet with drawers that are sized to hold full 8.5x11 sheets of paper, 2 rows of probably 8-10 drawers each.

here is my jig and fly tying table, i also have 2 wooden amo boxes with maribou and bucktails in it stored underneath

yeah i know its messy

i do accept any stuff that people feel they wont use or dont need. i can always find someone who can use it or use it myself

Some good ideals there.
John H shoot I can not see my desk for all the junk.
Pete

mine tends to get like that at times..just havent done much tying lately..plus im a neat freak

My cabinet is a wally world special I took from my wife, plastic 3 drawer with a top. Its on rollers and moves around easy. If the wife wants to talk I carry it up stairs and paint heads or tie while listening carefully. Most of my tying is done downstairs, otherwise known as the hole. I'm told pretty often, "your in the way go to your hole" so she thinks it punishment, works great for me.:DAttachment 17345


Ship this is my travel bag for fly fishing. Got it at bass pro on sale a few years ago should work for jigs too. Its got room for vise and everything. Paid 30 for it.

I use the ww method too. Whatever works. :D:D:D One day I'm gonna find me a nice desk, with overhead slots, and a corner of the garage to put it in. I'll find it at a flea market or a thrift store. :D:D:D:D

Well I would like to have some wood cabinets and may get them at some point, but I have 2 of the 3 drawer plastic Walmart cabinets and each is 2' x 2'. Then I have 2 of the 5 drawer plastic cabinets that are 13" wide X 40" tall. I also use 2 5 gallon buckets for my duck feathers which are about each 3/4 full of just duck feathers.

Then I have a wood book shelf right behind me that is 36" wide and 60" tall that I keep my jig heads in and much of my paint and also my printer for my computer. I then use 3 of large 12" X 16" like tupperware for my marabou and some yarn.

Anyway what ever I can find to stuff it in.

Got my desk at a hospital auction, and a few hanging cabinets. Keep your eyes open for one of them . Schools have them too.
