There's 'in to it' and then again there's "IN TO IT"

Must be a Librarian on the side.

The fifth drawer on the third rack from the left is misfiled

 

[Brute]

Commercial tyer?

 

[GAT]

Where's the vise ?

 

[RCF]

I am sorry for the person's spouse...

 

[Yard Sale]

Probably just fishes Mop flies....

 

[Canuck from Kansas]

Where's the vise ?

Probably below the magnifying light - the desk on the left is not for tying, no leg space (you probably knew that and i just didn't get your sarcasm).

cheers

Way way way to organized for me, I'd never find anything

Half the fun is pawing though the semicircle of bags of material around my vise.

I have a lot of different stuff for a lot of different flies, and I can't even begin to imagine that there are that many different things that each need their own bin. I count about 200 bins, and 400 slots on the left hand wall.

I'd think that a professional tyer has a few patterns that require a large amount of a limited number of different materials. You don't need 600 different things to crank out 100 dozen of 5-10 different patterns.

This.

I feel like I have A LOT of materials and it takes up like 10% of this space

 

[rancid waders]

Way too organized....Sign of an ill mind

 

[kmudgn]

A perfect example or why tying is cheaper than buying flies
(as if)

The little girl in the photo must be thinking "Daddy spent all my college money on feathers & fur".

And all of the drawers are numbered, so you still need to look up the material you need on some kind of list and then find the right drawer... My drawers say capes, thread, pheasant, etc. I guess I think differently.

I’m with you. Names not numbers.

With that much stuff, the numbers actually make sense to me. Can't imagine scanning through labels on what, 100 boxes when I need to find something. The index is probably a spreadsheet or db that's cross-referenced, index to contents and contents to index.

I don't think my blue painters tape with a description of the container contents would scale to that much stuff. But I can't ever see needing or wanting that much stuff, and I'd rather drink bath-water than need a database to find my fly tying material. I'm OK if once a year or so I stumble through a few containers to find the CDC.
