[VFB] Re: Production Fly Tying Book came
Wow, that's 36,000 flies a year! He tie them all himself? If so, at my tying average speed of 2 minutes per fly, that translates into 2 X 36,000 = 72,000 minutes % 60 minutes / hr = 1,200 hours at the bench. 1,200 % 24 (hours in a day) = 50 days, if I tied 24 hours a day. Now, considering that I run out of gas after about 4 hours at the bench, this would mean that it'd take me 1,200 hours % 4 hours = 300 days to tie the 36,000. DUH! Ain't gonna happen !! :-P :-( :-D JIMMY D chuckalexan...@hughes.net wrote: Folks; i received my copy of Production Tying by AK Best today. Seems to be an awesome book. Can't wait to read it.

Hoy Matk: Don't get jealous that he is an expert. Anyone who ties that many flies must be goodor extremely bored, or living in Nigeria. How about we get one of those Nigerians who tie 10,000 flies a year to writ a book...or to atleast offer to share with us a US$72 billion inheritance from his great- uncle if we just deposit US$2000 for the paperwork to go through.
