Made dubbing brushes from what was left over after cutting Artic fox hair off.

Rick,
I use dubbing brushes frequently when tying many of my Bluegill patterns or Gamechangers. About 30 years ago, I desingned a simple to make dubbing brush twister from readily available materials. I probably made 100 of them and sold them all over the world. I’ve since upgraded my twister to be morotized, but I’ve attached the photo of the plans for the simple model if anyone would like to build their own. I will of course be happy to answer any questions people may have on it’s construction. Jim Smith

That’s a nice design.
James,
That is a very professional looking dubbing table. Makes mine look like a caveman model… Thank you for sharing yours with us.

MY son made one for me. Does not take long to make a Brush. I have found that Ilike 28 gauge wire to make them. I get a tighter wrap than with 32 gauge.
The truth is James hung out around the aviation industry too long. In aviation close enough is never close enough, it has to be pretty much dead on accurate. It affects a persons whole life. A good friend retired from the maintenance shop for FedEx in Memphis and started collecting a particular model of John Deere tractors. He told me when working on a tractor he had to remind himself frequently “This is not an airplane.”
Thanks for your generosity.
