Holy Cow! I'm famous, or is that infamous?

I got a call from the guy who does the videos for the Albany Fly Tying Expo to let me know I was on Youtube, and would be included on the DVD for Albany. Anyhow, here it is. Please keep laughter to a low decibel level to save our hearing.

I think Clooney and Pitt’s careers are safe but it was a nice job in my opinion. it was nice to be able to put a face to your name finally too.
Keep up the good work REE.

That is just pretty darned kewl!!! Yay Ron!!

Nicely done, Ron! Hope we see more videos from you. Can we say “We knew you before you were famous”?:smiley:

Ron I agree with Heritage, you should do more videos, nice easy to follow tutorial.

Eric

Good Job Ron. More to come?

That’s cool Ron. Now I can tell people I know a star! Kidding aside, it’s nice to know that people who tie as well as you, break thread as easily as me.

I have downloaded the youtube video and will convert it to DVD so I can watch it and learn from you REE.

I also agree, it’s so nice to finally put a face to the name.

It is good to see you on youtube with all the other infamous people who inhabit youtube, whose names or reasons for infamy I will not discuss in this forum. :stuck_out_tongue:

It was nice to see your face to monitor, your piece really is easy to follow I could see using it at our camp as you discuss elements of tying that will be good for the young starts…

Nice job!

Take care…

Hi REE,

Nice video. I like how you are able to include some history behind the fly and methods, like the why wax the thread, your opinions on starling feathers (which I agree with 100%), etc, so smoothly. Nice video.

Way cool REE.
Will you please sign me an autograph next time we get together?
Will be thinkin of you and VEE this week while I am up North.

Nice job Ron! Do you have any other demonstrations planned for YouTube? 8T :slight_smile:

Rumor has it (or at least the rumor I am starting) is the hand double used in the shot is Tom Cruise. :stuck_out_tongue:

Kidding aside, congratulations Ron. I like that you included the history lesson. I hope more of your teachings makes it to youtube.

Nice job! I especially like where you show beginners how to break the thread at a critical point :stuck_out_tongue: (and recover). Seriously though, nicely done. Everything was explained clearly along with historical information.

Well now, I must say I liked your recovery from that thread break.
Ya know, it’s not the mistakes you make; but how well you can recover from them. :wink:
Nice to put a face with the name, Ron.
And watching a tyer do a fly is very helpful to me. I get to see some different methods.
Thanks! :tieone:

Nice job Ron!
WOW! A celebrity in our midst…“FAOLer goes WORLD!” :cool:

Thanks Folks (blushing a bit here). That video was kind of a fluke. The video guys at the tying expo asked me to do a short bit and I said ok. had no idea it would show up on youtube. I have no other plans for videos, wouldn’t even know where to begin. I do love the history of this sport and feel that everyone should learn a bit of it.

REE

Nicely done REE! I had you pictured far differently… You know, at least sort of good looking! :wink:

REE,

Really enjoyed the video. I just got high speed service a few weeks ago and this is exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to be able to see. The timing also coincides nicely with the Starling skin I just finished processing. Good job, well done!
