been worse !!!!!!! Reason stuff falling on floor is free...

Bob you are truly one of a kind. I've got to get up to meet you someday!

come on up, tomorrow is play in the creek day, going to do a entomology class on the streams..

I have a lap top desk I purchased at the Lancaster show. I get out the materials I need for the pattern I am tying and get in my easy chair and watch the news or a hockey game.

I have to clean up when done tying because my tying desk doubles as my home work desk. Sadly, I use it more for homework than tying these days. Damn the man!

Look at it this way, more homework now leads to more time tying in the future because you'll only be working 1 job instead of the two some who don't study will need to make ends meet!

I've got a ye ole cherry sewing machine desk I plan to convert when time allows. As an ex cabinet maker it's gonna be the shizzle.

My desk if you brush away the fly materials and clippings empty spools youd see a cherry vineried flake board desk. I have a mess and it will always be a mess.

Foxgap,

I know what you say is true, knowing that school will make life better in the long run is why I keep paying for this punishment (tuition is not cheap). I just wish I got to fish and tie more than I get to do now.

I usually wait untill I can't find something I'm looking for then straighten up. Every month or so it gets the big clean up. I don't mind it messy bbut like it better cleaned up. If that makes sense to anyone...

I hate when I go to tie and clean my desk and find one or two usable pieces of a few different materials...hackle tips, rubber legs, a marabou plume, and get distracted from tying what I went in to tie and try to "use up" the scraps I left behind last time. Frustrating!

Pack rat fly tying. I cannot throw anything away if it is usable.

Lol hey thanks guys. All these pictures of tying desks inspired me to finally organize my desk. Bought a bunch of drawers, looks beautiful. Can't wait to tie. Only problem is now my fiancée knows how much stuff I have! No more hiding it in boxes under the desk! Oh well she was bound to ask where all my money went sooner than later.

The key to hiding new purchaces is having lots of plastic containers that hold lots of smaller packs of materials, the wives don't know what their looking at anyway. Kinda like hiding in plain site if you know what I mean. You gotta keep a stash of cash and make all purchaces with it. If she catches you, you did'nt hear it from me.

i have a mess most of the time i clean it when i get sick of looking at it or the cats get in it and that makes a real mess ... .




edit :
those of you who are looking for a tying station im pretty sure it's jdaddy that makes them i heard they are really nice
