If you pickup a couple of drawer slides from HomeDepot you could make your own bag system.

I contacted the ebay seller who had them. He had one left

I know i have seen one. But i can't find one anywhere. I am mounting my nor-vise in my computer cabinet. I want a slide out waste bag. Any suggestions?

I guess they were made by made2fly. But i guess they went out of business. Any other suggestions.

I am selling some Deer Antler Tool Caddy's and bodkins by order! If you want one let me know. Here's a pic of what they look like.

Nice job. I want one now!

I have to make a comment about the norlander bobbin, I had one of norms earliest bobbins, it had an all metal tube instead of the all cermic tube he now offers. Well the tube finally said no mas.. And the solder joint failed.. I contcted norm and instead of having to buy a whole new bobbin norm provided me with the tube assembly for a small percentage of the whole setup. This is over 20 years old and just keeps on tying flies. Thanks again norm.

Jay sent #10 to me on Monday......

So what is the final cost. No info on his web page..

Awesome. More great things the dremel will do.

Ultra Chenille is the smallest, reasonably priced chenille I have seen. I would personnel just use dubbing, although it may take a little longer it is much cheaper.

Go on the danville chenille website. They have a dozen sizes and many colors. You should find what you are looking for there.

Looking for tips and any other suggestions. It's going to be a long 6 weeks to wait for the fermentation to complete. I used to brew my own beer but hard cider is all new to me.

michaels has glues formulated to bond sheets together aileens is one and they work well. easy to build up layers and different color combinations. there are also foam companies that make this foam. look up eva foams on line, ufp technologies in georgetown mass is an example.

does anyone know the outside diameters for these brands? i was curious if anyone has tried to find it in bulk.

Try the kennebunk river for salt. And many ponds all over that area for fresh. I'll try to get you more info as I can. I vacation in wells beach which is a little bit south from that area.

hey josh,

i live just outside boston myself.. there are many places to fish within a short (or fairly short drive).. however if you take up saltwater fly fishing.. there are numerous spots in boston ...

send me a pm. i'll try to point you in a good direction.. also there are many good shops in the

area..

later

I vacation near the factory and I got an invite to come check out it. I can't wait. I love their tube setups. Best of luck with your vise.

Where is their factory located?

they are in brunswick maine.. about 10 miles north of llbean ..

i have seen the cutters joe blados designed to make these flys easier to construct. my question is what size is most common? there are 5 sizes but at 16+ each i dont want to waste money and buy one i'll never use. also do you have a favorite pattern?

dustin try cutting one diagonally from corner to corner you can get a few longer strips this way.

today my mom gave me an old rabbit fur coat that was in her closet, so i took all of the lining and insulation out of and now i have a ton of zonker strips.

 

the only bad thing is, the pieces of rabbit hide they used were only about 3"x3" so i can't tie anything huge with them.

 

has anyone else ever done this?

i have been looking for a black one, you can spin up a ton of dubbing brushes with a single coat.

you are going to get a lot of opinions on this.. some good some bad.. but if you are already balking at price try one before you buy it.. never want buyers remorse.. especially when it can be avoided.

take your time and try lots of vises before deciding.. heck i wanted a renzetti because i was

told it was great.. when i tried it.. i found it awkward and constantly needing adjustment..

do your self a favor.. try as many vises as you can before you decide on anything..

you won't regret that..

btw.. i have a norvise.. i enjoy it.. does it do everything.. not yet for me as i am still learning how to tap its potential.. but i like it..

and i came across 2 cones of danville flymaster one listed as 14 oz the other 20.7 oz. this is non waxed. how many spools do you think these will fill? i can't find much info but i know the normal spools are 100 yards.

nice score.. if thats real polarbear you probably got several times your purchase price in value there..

also that hair stacker is a good one aswell.. that super hair goes for 2$ per bunch when new... so

all in all you got a tremendous deal..

as far as deer hide vs elk for caddis.. i think its mainly color... you can use hair from nearly that whole hide.. spinning deer hair is fun when you learn. packing deer hair is an art.. watch youtube for a ton of video... you can learn a lot there...

fly fishing in maine can be lots of fun... i fish the coast.. and occasionaly a few rivers..

welcome to the forum..

check this bag out.. saw it on craigslist.. has wheels and a handle.. you might be able to get it

for a decent price..

worth a try..

I have 3 ott lites. And they are all great. Best of luck and that's a great price.

Wow. I may have to try to replicate those racks in my computer armoire that's being converted into my tying station

i'm sorry i can't remember the mag i picked up but it showed how to make spoons out of epoxy using silly putty for a mold. do you folks see this as cheating in fly fishing terms?

I am almost certain it was fly tyer. From the fall or winter.
