  1. I use speed 1 on the hairdryer so the feathers didn't fly so long just about maximum 1 meter from the bucket. I didn't have any table with enough free space so my only options was to clean a table or use the floor, i chosed the later one /Jocke
  2. I use nearly almost Bennechi's 12/0 thread it have the same strenght as Dannvilles 8/0, 16oz. One tip. Tie on the thread on a hook and pull it til it break, do it a couple of times and after a while you will learn the strenght of your thread. /Jocke H
  3. I see that many say a whipfinisher is needed i would say its cheaper and it take no more time in learning too do a whipfinish with your fingers. /Jocke H
  4. I got a shopping bag full of feathers from my friend who is a hunter. After i washed them i got thinkin how shoulld i dry and sort them. This is what i came up with. I put all feathers in a bucket and took a hairdryer and started drying them, when a feather was dry it automaticly "fly" out of the bucket. So i sat down on the floor and sorted all feather afterwards. /Joakim H
  5. Thank you all for those words. Ulf. I didn't find any japanes nymflegs or porcupine in my local shop so i wonder were do you buy them? I live in a so small town that i dosent even find any markers i the colors i want. :dunno: Regards/Jocke
  6. Hello! Here is my first try in realistic tying. It don't lokk the way i wanted it but i have so little material so i had to improvise. Its a size 14 hook, maybe too small to begin with. I want critics so i know what to change or add next time. (i know the wing case but i don't have any materials for them and the antennas i forgot.) ///Joakim H
