How Do You Manage Waste?

[Shuck]

Just wondering how you manage the scraps from tying

[cheeler]

I tie with my vise in a cheap aluminum roasting pan. When I get enough waste to cover my tying materials, i'll empty it out or create a franken bug from all the waste.

i sneeze a lot, the scraps pile up in the corners

I just place my vise in a plastic bag and roll down the sides, pretty easy clean up afterwards

Drop them in a tying bag under the vice. Collect it all in a shoe box then when I have enough run them through a coffee grinder to make some great dubbing. thus no waste. Produces some great dubbing. that I use alone or blen with other dubbing.

I have a waste troll, a bag that attaches to the vise. I just empty it once a month. It really holds alot. If I tied the right things, I could save it for dubbing, but it's too varied and I'd have some really funky looking dubs.

Try using a 12 or 15 inch piece of 2 inch wide masking tape fastened to the desk sticky side up. After cutting anything off, simply stick it to the tape. When you're done tying, all you have to do is scoop the tape into a ball and get rid of it. Its fast,clean and cheap and it works for me.

I've seen people with fabic bowls. Don't know where they get them. Personally I just let her fall all over the place until the wife gets mad enough that I clean it up....

I saw the fabric bowls but know one had them there so i made one at work the next day using a peice of 1/2" x 1" stainless drilled a couple of holes and taped one for a set screw an used a tig rod for the ring works great

I use a clothespin bag I bought at the dollar store. It's made out of cloth and has a teflon coated plastic ring sewn in to hold the bag open. I simply place it under the vise with the bag positioned to collect all the clippings.
