I am a fly tying and material junkie. I love fly tying and everything about it, including collecting and trying out new materials. I even find searching and buying materials thoroughly enjoyable. Yet it is addictive. I recall reading of an experienced tyer being asked by a novice what somebody needed to start tying flies - the tyer replies, 'a shed'. Very true, we are incurable hoarders!I want to keep materials more compact and at hand.

| Some of the Dubbings |
But probably like most tyers, my dubbing collection is turning into a
morass of fur and synthetic. I began looking for consolidation.
By chance, I came across two chest of drawers at an antique store for £105.00 - that screamed dubbing and hook storage or possibly flies.
It was orignally old type-face storage box. Most drawers have loads of small compartments - which are on the small side. Below are some with some of the above dubbing boxes added to the new system.

Here is one drawer for wet fly, buzzer and long shank hooks.
It seems OK so far, I am enjoying the consolidation. I just hope my two year old does not decide he wants to expect some Kamasan hooks. Thank you for reading this post.
