Re: [VFB] Inventions...

I use a bag on my vise, and really like it (its not a "Garbag" whatever that is).  At first I bumped thread on it as I was wrapping, but I change the way I hold the bobbin and don't even think about it now.  It not only is a handy place to put scraps, but also a good source of material when I need an odd or end.... in contains a little bit of everything, and when I only need a little bit I can usually find it there. Of course it doesn't do a thing for the mess on my desk.  I keep planning to tie several dozen of a particular fly then put those materials away when I start another... but it never works that way  Pretty soon i'll have materials from many tying sessions scattered everywhere.  Tom On Feb 26, 2006, at 7:06 PM, Anthony Spezio wrote: My first trash collector was a plastic bag in an embroidery hoop attached to my bench under the vice clamp.

The garbag - The best". So finally I bought one and after a couple of hours I discover that it actually does make a difference. The mess is even worse than it was before!!! After a tying session it's still empty... and not only that!! Since it's wider than the pedestal base, the area around it is reduced so the scrap layer gets even thicker... and makes it even harder to find your tools under it. Don't tell me it's another of your inventions, DonO... /Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?  Yahoo!
