  7. Nice tie. I agree with frequent tyers suggestions. For shuck material give ice fur rusty orangutan a try.
  8. Excellent tie as always Fred. The proportions are spot on. Did you use a ruler?
  9. Nice tie Piker, I dig that fly, nice and buggy.
  10. The last time I recall a CFR tying swap it ended being a scam in which the person got A LOT of flies.
  11. Thank you Utyer, I got bit by that bug a long time ago, the bite flares up every now then. I think the Marlow goes back beyond classic though, maybe golden age . Johnny
  12. Windows movie maker is great and simple. Also to speed up upload time, compress your file. You can use handbrake. Its simple just youtube up some video tutorials of the program. You can compress your file to a tenth of the size in about an hour. Cuts down on upload time majorly.
  13. This does not surprise me one bit Blane. After all this isnt the first box to get stolen. However I am please to see that your taking action against the thief. I would certainly contact the postal service. Is it a strange coincidence that his name is Don Johnson?
  14. I simply did it on such a large scale to help people better understand the concept of the whip. I find once people understand that they whip in no time. Now doing it neatly just takes practice and a lot of whips. I also just posted the video for anyone interested in hand whipping. Some people prefer the tool and good for them. I have zero issue hand whipping any fly of any size. As a matter of fact, I am a small fly nut, and the sizes you speak of are no problem at all.
  15. Here is my latest video, Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tiO5RM8_3U&feature=player_embedded
