Default Fly tying equipment & materials storage

I keep buying extra bit and bobs every couple of weeks and have now got to the stage that I am struggling for space. I have tried looking at Argos etc. on line for some kind of storage but cant find anything that looks like it mite be what I need.

How do other members keep there fly tying kit in order?

Pete

Default Fly tying stuff

I've pinched the dining room table for a tying bench and use boxes and plastic kitchen containers for capes, furs, etc. hoping to eventually replace our old leaky garden shed and then have half of it for a fly tying workshop, but when that will be??

Thanks guys. I will need to try and get my shed cleared out and set up a work area. I hope that it looks half as good as the ones that I have seen on here.

I was just the same as you a couple of weeks ago, had the stuff in an old sports bag that was fit to burst.

My wife bought me a 4 drawer plastic tower thing that I suppose is used for arts and crafts stuff. It now houses my tying tools and materials nicely, I no longer have everything out on the conservatory table, just the stuff I need.

It was £10 from Wilkinsons, even comes with wheels too.
