Default Can you tell what it is yet?????

Naff all on the telly as usual for a Bank Holiday, so what else to do than a bit of diy......

........so I thought I'd knock up a little cabinet to house the ever growing collection of tying materials I'm gathering.......

........still need to make the drawers and the lid, but you get the idea.
Room on the top for 100 spools of thread, tinsel, wire etc, and the drawers should hold everything else. Will post some more pictures when it's finished.

Tony

looking good, making your own is cabinate is very satisfying, and its impossible to find good tying cabinate without spending silly money, i made my own, pics in my album, but i like your spools on top idea it'l stop it getting cluttered like mine look foreward to seeing the end result

A little closer to being finished, only the lid, one drawer and a drawer front to go.

You might not say that if you saw it close up SS, I don't think there's a straight cut on the whole thing.

The lid (hopefully) will have some elastic loops in it to hold all the tools, but essentially will just be a single sheet over the top.

crikey that was quick Tony, cheers for the answer. What you going with, piano hinge, and some sort of stay to stop the top flipping over.

Love all this stuff whipping up some fly boxes at mo.
