heh, Vicki - I see we share the same plastic storage compartments. Must be a Commonwealth thing

Yeah Johnno, they're great aren't they? The tall ones have wheels so I can move them if I need to.

This is a fun thread!

Nice to see there is still wonderwax in useage. I still have 4 or 5 unused tubes of the stuff

[willowhead]

Johnno.....i still have the original two i got way back when.....but you can get bout $50 for one of those on ebay.....

[Johnno]

Really? Wow! I knew it was sought after but not that much!

I discovered around 1/2 dozen original tubes of the stuff around 10 years ago at a sale-out. About a dollar each... Grabbed the lot, gave one away and kept the rest; The unused tubes tucked safely away

I started tying 35 - 36 years ago. Stll have some of the original tools like hackle pliers, bodkin needle, bobbin, and even some original thread. Some furs and feathers would be well over 30 years old...

i've only been tyin' bout 17.....well almost 18 yrs. Have very rarely used up anthing i've ever bought.....except for a LOT of dubbing and hackle.........have totally used up some of the hooks i've bought along the way............have gone thru a LOT of Danville 6/0 primrose...........trouble is, i just keep buyin' more "Stuff"........it's that gotta have it in every size and every color sickness that gets ya.
i have tons of materials i'll prolly never use.........all that crap you buy when learning how to do this and do that............deer hair for instance.......and allllllll kinds of hairs...............foam................tons of foam i'll never use...........rubber legs up the yen yang...........etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc...................i must of gotten 50 Goodie Bags from Wapsi at shows in the last 8 to 10 years.....we always get two.....mine and my wife's.......but a lot of it is stuff i never use..........i try to swap with other tyers.....but that doesn't always work. "Rough Out Here!"

OK, the new (current as the room is now) pics are up. Go here, http://www.misako.myphotoalbum.com and just click where you see the tyin' room pics. i took 510 pics the other night.....all with flash and Misa has put them through a photoshop program to take any glare out of them.....came out pretty good. It'll take well over an hour (close to two), to go through all 510 pics.....so click on the advance/next button if you wanna hurry up the slide show. You'll also be able to see a ton of other pics at her page there at myphotoalbum......lots of different events we've participated in. Misa is a complete nut case when it comes to takin' pics and posting them............ and what you see there isn't even half of what we've been doin' in this past decade.....but she only has so much time.............as it is, she litterally lives on the computer, day and night. If it ever seems to "stick" or slow up to much, just hit the advance/next button. Enjoy.....
