Registrace 11. 01. 2014
After 5 plus decades of fly fishing and fly tying, I have decided to turn the video camera on and record some of the mounds of techniques and information I have gained over the years. Since I have traveled the world and taught fly tying to commercial tyers producing patterns for some of the top operations in the country, I am guessing that there are a few tricks that I can teach you. I will start my tying series shortly, with a comprehensive, step-by-step series of segments to teach basics to beginning tyers, and those of you that have always wondered if there was a better was to do something. Follow my beginning series straight through from #1, to where ever I end up taking it, and I can guarantee that you will emerge a better tyer. After the beginning series, I will show more advanced patterns for everyday use, and then some that you may have looked at and wondered "How did they do that". Follow along and I will show you how!

Portuguese Water Dog Gets A Retriever Cut
Hey! I applied fur to my boots, I’m scared to remove it, since it was very risky to sew it on. Is there a way I can dye the fur white keeping it on the boots? Would hair dye work?
Great job thanks for the post
Impressed by the efforts, but someone buy this man a Cricut!
Kill the music.
Traductor a español.por favor
Nice tut9riso, Chris!
Uhgg when I was making the purchase I was indecisive about the original jb and the 5 min quik set 5 min set epoxy. I went with the syringe version as it seemed easier to handle and apply... So I get home and I was kinda inpatient and started my project before I let my car cool down completely (my project was to fix a broken off inlet hose piece of plastic on my thermostat housing which is plastic) so the car was still very much warm as was the piece to repair, I followed all instructions applied it, and NOTHING, it will not turn into the gel state it just stayed syrup consistency it wouldn't even hold itself together, so I scrapped the whole thing removed all of the kb weld and sanded the two pieces and started over when the car was cooled, still nothing I thought I didn't mix enough so I thoroughly mixed the jb weld and tried again ... Still nothing .... Waited over night and tried again and by this point I'm severely disturbed that this is not working for me, as I need my vehicle and I have place I need to go. And that's where I am at at this point just stuck on what to do. WHY WILL THIS STUFF NOT WORK FOR ME????;ANYBODY? IM GOING INSANE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
Is this to make dubbing with? I'm fairly new to all this. Thanks
Any idea on diy ice dubbing? Its impossible to order here in our country.
I rais rabbits for a food source and i cure my fures with a salt cure. I have been looking for a way to sell them and i thi k this will work for me. Guy at bass pro told me about dubbing.
How do we get different colors
Excellent ties dude!
Chris will gesso good to use with createx paints as well
It's a good to know video but I believe most viewers would also like to see the strength & durability test.
Thanks for this educational video wish I could have seen this when I was a lot younger how true it is i am 76 I’m going to tell my kids and friends to watch this love your videos 👍🙂
I was looking at doing bronze, how will the bronze be if you add a bit of black? I noticed on car wheels they do bronze with a slight black look
I’ve been on the search for a mirror chrome for lures. There are a LOT of “chrome “ paints that end up more like polished aluminum. There is a product from Despaie that is a refill for marker pens. 10 ml used in an airbrush. It gives very, very close to a true mirror chrome. You can easily see reflections in it. As others have noted here, most coatings tend to dull the shine. I am going to try different ones today. Without coatings the chrome quickly wears off on lures The base finish is critical. Unless the base is hard and super smooth you’ll probably not get good results. Helps if the base is very high gloss black. I suspect you’ll never get true mirror chrome on a wood base unless you coat it with epoxy, varnish, etc. before applying the chrome paint
Hi Chris! Great video and thank you! Just to let you know there is a tool that is available from Whitetail Fly Tying Supplies in Chapel Hill, NC. They have a very extensive fly material selection plus the best deer hair I've ever found. The sitter they sell will do full skins and is safe and adjustable for width. Whitetail was started by the famous tyer Chris Helm who has sadly passed on. They are still carrying on the buisiness. Hope this is helpful to anyone wanting to slit their own hides.
I was hoping what u put it on would stick and not come off as easy .
Fabulous, helpful info that’s going to save a small fortune. Thank you so much for sharing.
Cheers fella. Great idea.
Is there a way to thin it so it's brushable? Want to repair a pitted wheel bead.
Thank you fine sir, just ordered a punch set and some hodgepodge
which color in the tube is the hardener? can you do a loctite epoxy
Thanks for this informative video. I'm looking to buy some resin. Do you have a picture of your results that I could print out??
Awesome videos (part 1 & 2) - thanks so much
How old is a rooster need to be before you harvest the hackle feathers? Is it one year or two years? And why?
Thank you, really found it informative.
Clear, concise and well explained. Thanks so much!
Mineral oil and Vaseline are petroleum distilates. They are hydrocarbons, meaning they are comprised of hydrogen and carbon. They are pollutants. Naturally occurring fats found in nuts and plants, like coconut oil, shea butter, etc., are triglycerides. Triglycerides are esters of Coconut oil is primarily composed of triglycerides, which are esters of fatty acids and glycerol. Triglycerides are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but they are not considered hydrocarbons because they also contain oxygen atoms. Hydrocarbons, on the other hand, consist only of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Triglycerides are necessary for life and fish can ingest them safely. If you make your own floatant use a triglyceride like cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter, etc. You can mix it with beeswax until you get the consistency you prefer.
Don’t use petroleum distillates in fresh water and protected waters! Vaseline and mineral oil are petroleum distillates! It’s pollution, it kills fish, it creates “slicks” fish can see, and you face a hefty fine and risk seizure of your gear for polluting. If you’re going to use an oil base, then use a plant or nut-based “butter,” not a petroleum product or a petroleum blend.
Nice work. Appreciate the effort and cost you expended!
Hello! Helpful tutorial. What brand of clipper do you recommend?
simple is best well done
Bleach is a base not an acid. Baking soda will NOT neutralize a base. It is also a base. You are just stopping the bleach with the clean water. Skip the baking soda and just rinse the feathers in clean water.
Thanks for sharing
That mixing gets poor precision whereas it is really matter for getting a decent hardness. A proper way would be putting a cup on scale and measure the ratio precisely by pouring components with syringe. That would mean you need to find density first. And sometimes you would need to find exact ratio that gives max hardness by making few samples varying components by 5% as 1:1 by volume is not always the best one. And might be important to shake A and B bottles to make them uniform before measure. And waiting longer before demoulding also may be important for max hardness.
I absolutely love this video very well done
👑 Thank You for making this video. It was very helpful. I want to use the JB Weld to fill in a missing chunk of tile floor.
thanks for teaching.........
Hi. What brand of trimmer do you use? Thanks
Cool tip.

Thanks very much. Will be giving this a go in the near future - excellent Christmas present idea for my 3 sons and I ( no daughters 😂).

How you get the dye off your hands?🤦♀️🤔 Would this dye work on syntetic materials like EP and stuff like that? I was messing around earlier and got leather dye to stick to it using the same method, bur want to try different colors.
Thank you for the video! 🙏
