I wish I had seen you rope dub years ago. Making a huge difference w/ the alpaca, I'm redoing all of them. Not sure I really want to thank you for that, but they will be better fliesJ
From: vfb-mail+ow...@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-mail+ow...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Don Ordes Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 3:51 PM To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: [VFB] Had to share this one. Guys, Had to share this- made my day. This endorsement ranks right there with Tony's, as they are both equally famous. All comments are important to me, but those coming from famous tiers carry a lot of weight. He's also been tying forever, so it really boosts my confidence. For those who don't know Bob, he's an east-coast tier who is world-famous for his realistic patters, right up there with Blackstone, Whillock, and the others. "Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Rope Dubbing is a well done DVD clearly demonstrating a variety of dubbing material techniques on the one thing that often gives tyers (and not just beginning tyers) trouble- the natural fur and synthetic material dubbing of a fly's body. Don, a natural on camera, presents his quick and easy methods in an unpretentious, best friend demonstration that anyone watching should be able to pick up on their first try. Especially interesting was the thicker/thinner corrections he employs to arrive at the desired thickness. Working a hackle in with the rope dubbing and thereby completing two tasks at the same time is nothing short of brilliant. If you only buy one fly tying DVD this year, and are looking for something new that will make your tying hours easier, this is the one."
