I was just asking my wife, what would it hit? Wonder if we will hear where it goes now?

Not what the rule says.

D421

I think you need to post photos to list in classifieds.

Still looking for a porcelain perfection. Been running mine a lot. Damn this winter is cold.

D421

I think my wife wins.

D421

Really nice find. Did he look further in the spoils. Camp site maybe?

D421

Nice work. But all your work is top notch.

D421

Nice work. Hit that nickel with some oven cleaner and somemothers polish and I bet it will shine.

D421

Found this picture. Don't think it's original, but have no idea.

D421

Same here.

D421

Now if someone could reproduce the rings.

D421

Neat. If little pieces don't plug things up that might be the ticket. See if you can break it and keep us informed.

Really be neat in rope form?

Give a man a fly, he will loose it in a tree. Teach a man to tie Flys he will bave hair and feathers all over the house

D421

PM your address.

D421

How about a whip finisher, a vise and a cheap bobbin.

D421

Let me looktomorrow, I may have some stuff.

Loganeffecto wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 3:41 am Yes this is not a high quality fly. I thought it might be a good example to practice with. The long stuff does ~feel~ synthetic. I’ll have to give the match test a try.

Do you have a vise, bobbin, or any basic tools?

D421

Man, Levi so sorry to hear this sad news.

D421

Since that is such a mass produced fly the dubbed body is probably wool yarn.

D421

That long stuff looks synthetic, not hair. The brown feather stalks sticking out all around is a hackle wound on hook. The black is probably chenile, then a rib of tinsel. Keith I was leaning toward synthetic. Pull a strand and put it near a match. See if burns like a synthetic or smells like a sin...

D421

The feather towards the front is a brown "hackle" a neck feather from a chicken.

The body appears to be a brown dubbing, maybe synthetic, and wrapped with flat tensile.

The wing is a hair but not deer, as it is not hollow. Maybe squirrel?

D421

20 wires per inch. 10 thousandth per strand.

D421

I've been useing #20 stainless. Seems to be correct.

Firearm safety training and meat processing (aka where your hamburger comes from) should be taught in our school systems.. I'm sure that statement will ravel some nerves, but it's the truth... Many folks only think of a firearm as a weapon... Yes they do that very well, but it's not what I think of...

You did use a question mark. The answer is you are never justified to use deadly force to protect property.

Deadly force is justified to protect yourself or others from great bodily harm or death.

D421

You will get a lot of answers. I will tell you what I do. First I clean the leather with warm water and soap, scrub gently with a tooth brush. If the ruins the leather it was going to fail anyway. This cleaning removes dirt and much of oils like cooking oil or crisco that may have been used in the p...

Nice ones for sure.
Thanks

Nice Pancho. What is the date on the lantern?

That is a really nice lantern.

Darn holes.

I have 2 turds sitting right outside my back door right now. After reading this, I went to my Coleman cabin and dug them out.

I'm looking for a good one myself for a repaint/new hat project.

Good luck!

At current prices I'm OK. But don't have what I was after.

Well after looking for a 275 fount for a frank project I found a pretty rough one for 5 bucks. The inside was way worse than the outside. I hit it with heat and gave it a little twist, No strap wrench just a little twist. I've done several and know they are tight, but this one came out real easy. ht...

I'm guessing he let go of the trigger right after the buffer hit him in the chin. Then finding it impossible to unwind his beard he cut it off.

Hmm, maybe electrolysis was what I was thinking.

Seems that someone here had excellent results with an ultrasonic cleaner on a real dirty mica chimney.

I like the 2nd design much better.

Jim I agree, but is easy to rule out.

D421

Hmm. Pretty hard to over pressure a 220 with the hand pump. More common when using a schrader valve on the filler cap. If you did over tighten the valve and the F/A tube pushed into the bottom of the fount you can look into the filler hole and see if the F/A tube is hitting the bottom of the tank. W...

Those guys were determined.

Probably needed a big supply of asprins and mail boxes at the end of the day.

D421

So we were 41 below last week, not sure they would winter well here.

But I'm no expert.

My 200 birthday lantern popped off a quarter size flake just sitting on the table in the living room.

Are you running crown of coleman fuel?

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

On a serious note I have recently bought a few of the coleman 21s in the plastic bag. They seem to run well. Haven't run them long enough to speak to durability.
