Talking

I'd like to volunteer eddie, stripercrazy to show everyone the swirl paint method he uses.

Eddie call me and let me know what colors you'll need and I'll pick them up during the week.

I will bring a vice and some materials for these little unique hair/blend bonito flies with softex that just crush bones, albies and are VERY durable for blues.

Guys,
question for all of you. If I make it to plugfest, I was thinking of bringing one of my cameras(the video type) and possibly filming some of the demonstrations and possibly, if you guys and John R. are cool with it. create a link on the site with "how to" videos.

Whalie, you could film my hands making a tail-loop on a plug or whatever.

Not a problem bigfish. Just figured I'd throw it out to the group and that it could be a great addition to the plug building Faq's.

OK, I didnt have any blanks in box of "extras", so between bouts with the wet vac (fighting to keep m shop from flooding) I managed to trace, cut and sand a peanut blank... so we are in buisness...

Cool ed let me know if you need a hand with the paints etc. Would it be a good idea to have folks bring a primed blank or two of their own for this? So they can get a real hands on? Ed I figure we can setup like 2 - 3 buckets / stations to do this at. Does that work for you?

Great! I have a primed blank or two! Salty, I looking forward to you remedial tail loop class. Mine are every shape but round.
