Anyone have some tips/recommendations for improving the organization of their materials and/or fly tying areas?
I'll begin with a couple that have helped me,
1) Buying a tool caddy or some other device for organizing tools is a near must. Since buying a Renzetti tool caddy I spend half the amount of time looking for tools and it keeps my fly tying table/computer desk much more organized and clean.
2) I just recently learned this one from the Winter '08 Fly Tyer....Using loose leaf binder rings to keep materials together and organize by type/color...etc. This works especially well for dubbings. Ever notice that nearly every material is in a small zip lock bag? Either using the existing hole or punching a hole in the bag, you can string together like materials very quickly. I'm seriously considering building or buying a rack to hang the binder rings from as well so that they are not crammed in a drawer and are in plain sight.
