Very nice!! I like it!! :headbang: :headbang: May have to try something of the sort myself! Mike

Very nice!!! both the video and the fly!!! I gotta tie me up a few of those!!!!! Mike

nice lookin fly fred!! Gonna have to tie me some up! Mike

Nice pattern!! I like it!!! and seems pretty simple to tie!! mike

Very neat idea!!! I like it!!. My one concern is i wonder what the chances of the flared deer hair over the front breaking??? it looks brittle and i wonder about the bit extending past the cup?? Does it seem like it may be a problem???? Mike

Looks good to me! I have been tying up a bunch of EHC style flies lately myself. I dunno if it's just me but man! it's amazing how much trouble a simple pattern can give ya!!! lol!!!! Mike

Dont own and most likely will never own an ipod! I do very much like having the tunes on while tying. I tie in the same room as my PC so it's always tunes on the computer. As for types of music, that can be all over the scale I listen to just about anything and everything. Lately it is a mix of pretty much just Zeplin and Floyd. Mike

Very neat looking vice indeed!! Was intreeged when you first posted asking about them. Seems to be a really nice and useful vice. Am somewhat thinking of a new vice myself and that may be on the list!! Although have lately really gotten into the rotary feature so most likely will be another rotary for me. Who knows! thanks for the review! Mike

Was looking at that list of seminars and it's looking more and more like I'm gonna do it!!! Looks like some GREAT seminars!!!!!! Mike

Just picked it up this morning! A little pricey at 50 bucks up here in Canada but just looking quickly though it looks to be well worth it!!!! Cant wait to get right into it!!! :headbang: mike

Hoping to make it myself. All gonna depend on funds and how I'm feeling gonna be abou a 4 hour drive one way But from what I see and hear should be well worth it! mike

roflol!!! :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: this is just great!!!! By the way nice flys! :headbang: :headbang: Mike

Nice job oatka!! Thats quite the compilation of desks!! :headbang: :headbang: Gets me thinking that I really need to spend some time here on mine!!! Mike

Easiest I would say is just WalMart. They carry different sizes and colors and it's cheap! Mike

For me quite often beer! Love Keiths also ocasionally will be a Guiness. Unfortunately lately I'm on a bit of a budget so it's been down to the cheap buck a beer beers mostly Lakeport. Theyre not that bad i guess! lol!! Mike

Hey while on the topic of diamond braid anybody have any clue what brand name i may find it under??? I have looked for actual diamond brade in the stores up here in Ontario and the closest I've found is this AXXEL stuff. Works pretty well for me but just wondering if there is some name I sould be looking for??? Thanks mike

I was really thinking of making the 4 hoour or so trek down there to check out this show. But it appears as though the job is puttin wrench into those plans!!! :wallbash: :wallbash: Mike

Thanks for that link inconnu looks like a neat little pattern!! Gonna defenitely have to tie a few up. I'm addicted to tying with glass beads!!! lol!!! Mike

Just curious what is this all about???? I have heard lots about it but just not sure what to expect. I have thought of going but I will be coming from Canada so it would turn into an expensive trip. Any coments on the show would be great. Thanks Mike

Those are some nice tweezers! Where'd you get em???? I picked up a pair of very small needle nose pliers at the bead shop but they are just straight, they don't have the indentation. Only thing I'm wondering is how big is that indentation??? Will they work with the really small beads???? Mike

Well I finally decided to enter the world of glass beads. On Sunday I decided to take a look at a bead store here in the town I live in, just to see what they had. Well of course I could not come home empty handed! lol!!! Satrted playing around with em last nite and gotta say that they are nice to tie with. A little tough at first, especially in the small sizes. But once you get the hang of it they are quite easy. Here is just a little simple fly that I've tied as a first try. Not much, but hey doesn't always take a super fancy patern to catch fish! Mike

hmmmmmmmmmmmm good question. As per totral invested in tying so far I dont have a clue. However uppon thinking a little more WELLLLLL over 1000$ so far maybe even closer to 2! When I firts started reading this thread I thought these numbers were nuts! Thinking there's no way some one could spend much money on tying! Then I started thinking a little more and realised that it's really not that hard! Even scarier is when I started thinking that just in the last week alone i spent close to 150$ and still have many ebay items to pay for and about another 30 auctions I'm watching end in the next day or 2! :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: And here I thought I wasnt adicted! Mike

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm sounds interesting... I may be in for this also. Not completely sure yet though. I'll let yous know if I am. Mike

:bugeyes: :bugeyes: WOW!!! :bugeyes: :bugeyes: Amazing ties!!!! I could only dream of beeing able to tie flies like that!!! AMAZZING!!!!! :headbang: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Mike

anyone got any links to some patterns of the sort?? I may be in for this depending on what it's all about. Mike
