  1. Thanks sandflyx That's a beaut. I got to pick up some of those stripped Polish quills.
  2. Interesting. A good while ago I bought some non-branded UV glue and a cheap UV light, not sure of the strength of the light, but it was a cheap one. I used it only once in a great while, as I didn't particularly care for the result. It took a long time to dry and was still a bit wet, though I didn't notice if it was hazy at all. I would have to stick it in the sunlight, as flytire suggested, to have it properly cure. A few weeks ago I decided to try the UV thing again bought a new, rechargeable light advertised as 395-405. Works great on the old that old UV resin I have. I thought the poor result was from the non-branded UV resin, but apparently it was the weak light.

    Whatโ€™s cooking

    Those look like good recipes - sourdoughs are pretty easy simple, but like fly tying and fly fishing we can make them as complicated as we want. I 've never kneaded my sour doughs and only occasionally will knead my yeast doughs. Looks like a feast DF!

    Thank you. It was perfect, week before I made a loaf for my daughter home on Spring break, and let it proof too long. This one more than made up for it.
  9. Noice! This is going to be another great swap.
  10. I think it looks great. I would put a fuller tail on it, but that's personal preference. Slap a drop or two of cement on the head and you'll be good to go.
  11. Real nice Heffernutter - I haven't seen one of those tied in a real long time. Thats a cool pattern, great name too!
  12. A few Zug Bugs for the season opener swap.
