In fact, I can't...

Silly me.

A "wire dubbing loop" and a "dubbing brush" are the same thing. Just different names. Wire dubbing loop is the home made version of the "store-bought" dubbing brush.

Micropteris:

The first difference between us is I think "You Do Your Thing" is a great song, a good ballad. It's also a GREAT CD. Needless to say, I am a Mongtomery-Gentry fan.

The second, and...

Allan:

With all due respect, I was NOT totally serious when I closed with the remark about the original topic. I am enjoying this whole thing anyway. It's was just my best idea at the time for a...

Andy:

In good-hearted humor and pure fun, (no malice or ill-will intended) I think you (like my deceased uncle used to say about his wife, his mother-in-law, and his sister-in-law, my mother -...

Bashline's Night Fishing for trout.

Got a signed copy. Heard him speak in the fall of 1976 or 7 at Penn State University for the PA Council of TU Annual meetings. He followed Caucci & Nastasi who...

Northern Fisher:

I suggest don't buy a kit. Too much stuff you won't use. Get a good vise (I love my Regal C-Clamp Rotary and have been uning it for 12 years).
Materials: buy only what you need...

Dear Larry:

Dave's Flexament is the same thing as vinyl cement. Hardware store vinyl cement thinner will do the job. Some fly shops sell "Vinyl Cement" because Dave's Flexament is trademarked and...

Yeah, Rick Whorwood knows Bryant Freeman. Hans, I did say in my second sentence "...if you ever plan to use Cellaire as head cement." I know nothing about the dubbing twister and the needs of cement...

Perhaps you did use hackle pliers to twist floss for a rib. I didn't say I originated it, It was simply unknown to me. <G> Now that I've figured that out...

On the married wing...

Andy - you write just like you talk. I can actually hear your voice, your vocal inflections, your tone as I read your post. It's funny! LOL! <G>

I believe Poul Jorgensen said, (quoting someone...
