Dave Klausmeyer has vacated the Big chair, so maybe some fresh blood will perk it up. I read the Drake, but that isn't about tying. I tried Fly Fusion b...

I've got trad bows that will shoo...

In spite of the problems that folks seem to be having with this piece of equipment, I'm pretty sure I need to buy one. I mean, tinkering with our toys is half the fun.

Dubbing loops are the bane of my existence. About the only thread that I can't break on a regular basis is the Danville 6/0.
