I need to learn some tricks and helps that I cant get from the books I have been using. I tried to tie a fly on a size 20 the other day and was getting really frustrated. Course Im just getting back into tying after not doing it for a couple of years. Wasnt that good to begin with though. :) Bob Scarbrough Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 09:35:31 -0800 From: bambot...@yahoo.com Subject: [VFB] Knotted legs To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com I was asked about making Knotted Legs on another list. Thought it might start a tread on this list so I am posting a part of the message I sent -Took these this morning, The feather is a beat up Pheasant tail feather so the legs are not the best, it is just what I had right here. This is how I make my Knotted Legs # 1 Feather held in the vise. # 2 Make a loop around the Knipicker shaft # 3 Catch the tag end and pull it through the loop, this makes an overhand knot. # 4 Knotted leg # 5 Two Knotted Legs # 6 Three Knotted Legs Removed from Quill # 7 Knitpicker and Knotted Legs. I was also asked if I sprayed the feather first. In this case I did not but I do at times. Here is that reply Another list member asked if I sprayed the feather first, here was my reply to him. I sometimes coat them with a fixative that is used for spraying over pencil drawings but not always. It can be done either way. Spraying them makes it easier to separate the barbs for making the knot. The Knit Pickers I was getting then in the Sewing Dept at Wally World for 99 cents. I think they went up to 1.09.00 now. I also use the for weaving the Knitpikin Mayfly tail and body that I have on my tying DVD. Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
