Dan, they are the most beautiful fly tying vices you will see..... Hope to own one someday. Paul builds them and generously donates one for a raffle to raise money to keep the lights on here. I don't do very well on raffles here, but that is the one I would put at the top of my list! (and I can't tie worth a crap, but sure would be practicing a lot more with one!) Look even better than in the photos! Mine would be out on display at all times. Piece of art, I say!
I like the snow against the window, Paul.....

Getting ready for the spring. I got a new Mojo for Christmas and needed to have something to throw. 6.5 inches, 2 3/4 oz. A few had already been etexed, rigged and tested, but most were airbrushed today. Not as nice as Saltheart's or Paul's, but I'm pleased. I love those 1 oz pencils of Salthearts. I have been making a 1 oz thin pencil for years but I think I will play around with a shorter one like Saltheart's as well.

2.15 - 2.4 oz, 6 finished and tested, 10 primed and ready to paint and I have 3 more turned but not weighted or primed that I plan to weight to 3 oz. I just picked up a TFO 10.5 2-8oz and ressurected my 30+ year old Penn 704.

looks great Joe
I was hoping to have some stuff sealed by now but been flat on my back all week, can't stand up, I guess I wrenched my back pretty bad, have not had this much pain in years. bad timing for this  have not had much work last 2 months just lots of estimates and now work is getting lined up- feast or famine
gotta get better
I do have some needles and spooks all drilled, have pikies, pencils turned also |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Always amazed to look at the quality of everyone's work. I have my second batch of plugs freshly painted. From left to right five 6" Musso Pine Swimmers, two 7" A-40s, three Eddy Needles, and four 6" Musso surface swimmers.
In the works are 3 Sandeel Swimmers and 2 more 4.875" Musso swimmers. Love that the days are getting longer, it is only a short time until we can get these things to work!
