I've been using these boxes for a couple of years now and think they are great.

They have;
good hinges
two positive sliders for locking them closed
18 compartments, approx. 32mm x 32mm x 25mm deep - these come up flush with the lid so hooks should not cross into neighbouring compartments.
Low price  - £2.50 each from John Lewis girly sewing dept. called 'Bead Boxes'



Good deal I think

that looks like a great idea, just need to get mrs MDH to let me get a desk to tie flies at rather than the dining table...

Excellent Iain

I could be doing with about four of these if anybody is in town sometime and doesn't mind getting them for me.

I can't remember the last time I went shopping in Aberdeen ....... scary thought, becoming a hermit?

Have you tried the new arts and crafts place at that new shopping "mall"? Loads of things like this too...

I had my eyes on a the clear plastic set of drawers on wheels complete with little boxes inside.  And only about forty quid..

Hi Mike,
Do you need them to keep your medication in ? Only joking -get well soon.

I bought 8 on Saturday (as they seem to have been out of stock for 'lots of months') so I've got 4 you can have. I've removed the cellophane wrapping but they are brand spanking.

Rob,
I've been meaning to go ever since the opening was advertised on the tranny.......I'll bet there are some real bargains.

They might even sell pike rods

Thanks Iain, I don't want to hit your stock, but a couple would be very useful

Thanks again

Mike/ all,

Bead boxes are in stock in 'Hobby Craft' in Union Square mall for £1.99, YES £1.99.  Sorry mike I did sell you the others in good faith 

Guys, they're an absolute steal.
I had a quick rake around the shop today but didn't stay long as I'm not too chipper at the minute. I was looking for craft fur for baitfish patterns, eyes for SWFF/ Pike flies, rattlers & a purple indelible marker............luxemburg nil pwa  but I did get some extra fine silver & gold wire at £1.45 for 24 yards. All in all it wasn't the supermarket sweep that I thought it would be.

While we are at it, Megs Atic in Banchory has some interesting stuff for fly tiers, from beads and coloured ribbing wire through to "meltable" tinsel and strange liquid foam stuff you can use to build bodies.
