FLYMPH FORUM

In Grantsville Doug gave me (tnxs Doug) a whole box of goodies and with it came a nice piece of wood to make a dubbingblock from it! I use mine mostly to make dubbingbrushes with copperwire thread in it, but I thought could it be possible to to make a double use of it: a normal clark block and a reversed one.

here are the pictures of it:



Right is the threadsection and left the copperwire section







And now I turned it 180degrees and start with the copperwire





Final result:

Aren't you the clever one? That's very cool, Ruard.

Thank you Bill

greeting

Ruard - Excellent design! Do you mind if I copy your design ideas? I would like to take the block & pins Doug sent and do something similar with mine.

I have some additional photos showing you using your previous dubbng twister block. Would you mind if I post them here, to show you in action?

You are welcome sir.

Greeting

Dubbing blocks are so cool. I am thrilled with mine. I like your design!

Here are some photos of Ruard showing me how he makes the wire core dubbing brushes. These photos were taken at the museum, during our recent flymph gathering.

Awesome photos. I have a large block, that I use for larger dubbing brushes...you can even use synthetics with it. I use small copper wire to twist it up. We use that for baitfish patterns. I haven't used it in ages though. I have been too busy tying these little flies.

Excellent idea Ruard, I like the way you think.

I like the idea of adding a rod to the bottom of a dubbing block thus making it easier to work with. An alternative solution to clamping it to the table...
