Wow, this is a treasure. Thanks fellas. You guys make a great team.

Bill, you really are a natural teacher. It's something I have wanted to do and I like the way you were so relaxed and too the time to explain why you were doing each step. This is an excellent resource and a fun series of videos. Love it.

I have added a link to Bill's video tutorials in the reference section. Unfortunately, I cannot peg the SBS section to the top of the topic list.

I like the video on the spun body. I've sat there and twisted the hackle pliers by hand and never had a thought of suspending the pliers and giving them a good spin. Dang... that was fast.

What zen said. Makes a case for acquiring some English hackle pliers. The lightweight teardrop shaped pliers I use would probably not spin so well. I have also tried reversing the way the thread is attached to the block - this allows a loop of thread to hang below the block in which a spinning tool is placed. The technique works but is a bit fiddly and not as fast as the way Bill shows us.
Great videos, gentlemen! I look forward to more.
Cheers,
Jim

Turned out my hackle pliers were too light for a good spin. I now have a heavier set on order along with some more Pearsall's thread.

Those turned out nice Ray, very nice.

Thanks for posting these, and thanks Bill for taking the time to put on a clinic. ;)
