Graham 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 Suomalainen ruotsalainen ja norjalainen haaksirikkoituivat pienelle saarelle. Saarella asui ihmisssyöjäheimo, jonka vangeiksi kaverukset joutuivat. Ihmissyöjät antoivat heille kullekin viimeisen toivomuksen. Ensin kysyttiin Norjalaiselta. Norjalainen halusi nähdä vielä kerran vaimonsa. Vaimo haettiin norjalaiselle. Vaimonsa nähtyään norjalainen syötiin ja hänen nahastaan tehtiin kanootti. Suomalainen tahtoi vetää yhden sätkän. Suomalaiselle hommattiin sätkä. Sen poltettuaan suomalainen syötiin ja hänen nahastaan tehtiin kanootti. Kun tuli ruotsalaisen vuoro, hän tahtoi haarukan. Ruotsalainen alkoi tökkiä itseensä reikiä haarukalla, ja huusi: MINUSTAHAN EI KANOOTTIA TEHDÄ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andreas 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 sullyTM; In short, the spider's abdomen is made up of spun deer-hair, quite heavily varnished and "painted" with marker pen's. The legs is made up of regular monofilament/nylon line, 1x and 3x maybe, not sure My dubbing needle was heated up with a lighter, and used to make the characteristic bends in the legs. This require some practice, to learn how the nylon reacts to your red-hot dubbing needle! The "mouth" is made from two CDC-feather stems, with a varnished fibre of some sort as "teeth"/jaw. ..::Andreas::.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
