stonefly1 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2008 Smallie, This is a buddy of mine that builds these! It looks like you beat me to the punch! I am going to post some additional pics and information on the Trading Floor for anyone that wants to get their hands on one. They are great for creating custom brushes and very quick and easy to use. Stonelfy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billb 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2008 Pretty slick rig. Have never used a dubbing brush, but now see that they have broader applications than I'd realized. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeverLover4570 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2008 These things are awesome. The possibilties are endless. Mine didn't have a motor, but I scrounged up an old sewing machine motor and added it on. Now I have total control on the speed of the rotation through the foot pedal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 29, 2008 Lever, Could you post a picture if how you attached the motor? I recently made a hand crank one and have an old sewing machine moter I could use on it. I agree, there are a lot of uses for these. I had not thought of adding rubber legs. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonefly1 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 This particular rig is very nice. It is a custom build and some of the parts are machined aluminum along with the solid oak base, adjustable material deck, etc, etc. Before this I was using a rig that looks just like yours Dave and it worked fine, but the electric motor and larger adjustable material base makes the process faster, more diverse in types of material, and very professional. You can crank out flies with just the right brush and the possiblilties are endless. Dave the motor on this model is in a custom metal housing with variable speed and power switch. I will post a pic on the trading floor so you can get a better look. Steelie - PM sent with a short description of the 'guy' building these and the cost to get one. Thanks for the comments and the interest. Shoot me a PM if you need more info. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelie 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Good Day, Juding by the construction of the motor - it looks like this could double as a rotary fly dryer too! Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonefly1 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 That is a great idea! Time to design an attachment for the spindle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
