[VFB] testing

[Henk Verhaar]

It's been a great while since I was active here. Recently I've been seeing 
messages arriving in my mail system, only to disappear within a few 
seconds. Trying now to find out what the problem is here...

Not sure whether this is the same tool, but Marc Petitjean has a bodkin 
especially for splitting thread, that is basically a sowing machine needle with 
a handle. I’ve made a number of these myself over the years (to sell and to 
give away); they’re dead easy to make. Get (buy, or pilfer someone’s sewing 
basket) a heavy sewing machine needle, like a jeans needle, and attach a 
handle. Viola...

Re: [VFB] Furled Leaders

[Henk Verhaar]

I use tippet rings. Put em on the furled leader with a ‘loop-in-loop’ 
connection, factually a girth hitch.

Re: [VFB] Furled Leaders

[Henk Verhaar]

Sorta - to keep it from absorbing water and making it easier to make it 
hydrophobic using a ‘floatant’ (grease). Also to stiffen it, helping in casting.

Re: [VFB] Furled Leaders

[Henk Verhaar]

In actual practice, I never move my pegs around - I ‘make do’ with 7 ft furled 
sections using an ’11-5-3’ setup (resulting in a finished section with 
22-16-10-8-6 strands of UNI 6/0 thread) for all my fishing, changing the tippet 
section to match the type of fishing. I did make an extension board to make 13 
ft Tenkara furled leaders (lines) from UNI 6/0 - which I impregnate with boiled 
linseed oil, like traditional silk lines, only very low tech, just immersing 
them in the BLO until they’re soaked, then hanging them up to dry… Note that I 
don’t do this for normal fly fishing leaders (although, now that I think about 
it, I may just try that).

Woodturning; was: [VFB] OFF TOPIC in the fishing groups Question???

On woodturning

Folks: I recently got a new wood lathe from my wife around the first 
part of May and I’m trying to get up an inventory (most things are 
selling as fast as I can make them, which is a good thing) in order to 
open myself an Etsy store to sell things on. So farm, bowls have been 
the biggest seller, but I want to make some Christmas ornaments (see 
attached pics), wooden eggs (see pics), goblets (see pic), and lastly, 
my question on this email is how many here still use an old fashioned 
rolling pin for making biscuits etc.
I’m attaching a pic and would like to know a cpl things about the 
rolling pins #1, would you use it??”
Yes. In fact, I have a number of rolling pins that I made myself. 
Including an ornamental huge pin made out of figured maple. I have a 
french pin in maple and a long straight pin (no handles) in lacewood, as 
well as a couple smaller ones. The only one that gets used on a regular 
basis is the long straight one (about 40 cm long, 5 cm diameter); used 
primarily for rolling pie dough. I also have a very long, thin straight 
one (2.5 cm / 1 inch diameter) for rolling pasta in brazilian rosewood.




and #2 would you buy one


Well, obviously, no, since I make my own, but if I didn't have a lathe, 
yes I would certainly buy one or more rolling pins. But then, I do a 
fair amount of baking, and a whole lot of cooking...

if the price were right (probably $20 each
Actually, I think a good rolling pin, made out of nice wood, could fetch 
more than that.
, but they last forever, for the ones made of common woods like oak, 
poplar
Oak, given its porous nature, would be a bad choice for a rolling pin, I 
would think, as would poplar (soft, porous, too light). I would favour 
the standards like maple, beech, or walnut.


Another nice little thingie that you can make on the lathe, that would 
be perfect to sell at an 'introductory' price level is a 'spurtle' 
(google that ;-) ), preferably with the traditional stylized Scottish 
thistlehead on top. A few burned rings at the 'grip' section would give 
'em character.

Re: [VFB] Glass rod varnish

 This bottle of Gudebrod glass rod varnish came with an old Orvis fly rod 
 building kit I picked up at our club auction last year. I have not used it 
 before and found minimal info on the net.
 
 Has anyone used this and what are the pros and cons.
 

Yes, I used this stuff, way back when. It’s basically a spar varnish. Gudebrod 
have stopped ‘making’ (relabelling/marketing) this stuff years ago, and the 
label design is, AFAIR, from the eighties.

 Also would the number stamped on the front, looks like 9-85 be an expire date 
 or manufacturing date.
 
Since it doesn’t say anything specific, I would guess it’s a 
manufacturing/filling date. Expiry would most likely be somewhere in ’87. I 
doubt this stuff is still usable - I certainly wouldn’t use it. 


 The rod kit is from the 80s I think, the old PM 10 early graphite.
 
 Any info is appreciated. I am just about out of flexcoat and thinking about 
 trying this rod varnish on my wraps.
 

Don’t. If you want to substitute something simple for flexcoat (and better BTW, 
flexcoat is basically just a commercial builders shortcut to building up a coat 
with multiple layers), use a classic spar varnish. One or two coats will not 
give you a ‘beautiful’ wrap finish, but it will be entirely functional - the 
main function of a coat being to ‘bond’ the threads together to create a 
firm/solid anchor for the guide feet.

Re: [VFB] Soft Body Plastic Resin

[Henk Verhaar]

Soft body is a water-based polyurethane (I guess) latex, but it is formulated 
to give a high build, single application soft coat. Not many non-flytying 
latexes are formulated to give the same result. They are probably out there - 
not many products are formulated exclusively for fly tying - but you will most 
likely not find them among the mainstream products. But it never hurts to 
experiment...

 Soft Body is opaque white in colour and dries clear. Does anyone on the list

Re: [VFB] Big Thompson

[Henk Verhaar]

Yes, long time ago. There are multiple places along the canyon that are worth 
fishing, although I would probably head up to Estes park, to fish the first 
couple of miles of the tailwater. However, unless you have a specific reason to 
fish the Big T, I would probably recommend going a little further north and 
fish the Cache La Poudre, upstream from Ft. Collins. Or the South Platte in 
Cheesman Canyon…

 Creator Of Super Glue Dies At 94
 
 Manufacturing.Net - March 28, 2011
 
 ~WRD000.jpg   image001.jpg  ~WRD000.jpg
 
 ~WRD000.jpg
 
 KINGSPORT, Tennessee (AP) -- Harry Wesley Coover Jr., known as the inventor 
 of Super Glue, has died. He was 94.
 
 Coover was working for Tennessee Eastman Company, a division of Eastman 
 Kodak, when an accident helped lead to the popular adhesive being discovered, 
 according to his grandson, Adam Paul of South Carolina. An assistant was 
 distressed that some brand new refractometer prisms were ruined when they 
 were glued together by the substance.
 
 In 1951, Coover and another researcher recognized the potential for the 
 strong adhesive, and it was first sold in 1958, according to the Super Glue 
 Corp.'s website.
 
 Cyanoacrylate, the chemical name for the glue, was first uncovered in 1942 in 
 a search for  materials to make clear plastic gun sights for 
 World War II. But the compound stuck to everything, which is why it was 
 rejected by researchers, the website said.
 
 President Barack Obama honored Coover in 2010 with the National Medal of 
 Technology and Innovation.
 
 Coover died Saturday at his home in Kingsport, Tennessee, his grandson said. 
 He was born in Newark, Delaware, and received a degree in chemistry from 
 Hobart College in New York before getting a master's degree and Ph.D., from 
 Cornell.
 
 He worked his way up to vice president of the chemical division for 
 development for Eastman Kodak. Coover and the team of chemists he worked with 
 became prolific patent holders, achieving more than 460. The work included 
 polymers, organophosphate chemistry, the gasification of coal and of course, 
 cyanoacrylate.
 
 Coover also had a part in early television history, appearing with Garry 
 Moore for I've got a  Secret. Moore, the show's host, and 
 Coover were hung in the air on bars that were stuck to metal supports with a 
 single drop of his glue during a live television broadcast.
 
 The Industrial Research Institute, for which he served as president in 1982, 
 honored Coover with a gold medal and the U.S. Patent Office inducted him into 
 the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio in 2004.

Re: [VFB] RE: drying wood for turning

[Henk Verhaar]

Cut and rough-turn it wet, then air-dry or put it in a vacuum with silica gel 
for quicker drying. Reducing the dimensions of the wet wood will significantly 
shorten the drying time and decrease the hazard of crack formation.

Drying WILL warp the wood, so be sure to rough turn to dimensions that will 
allow final turning to the required dimensions even with significant warp.

 Anyone know how to quickly dry  wood for turning??

Re: [VFB] How does jig thread compare in diameter with 6/0 or 3/0?

I think a 'Size A' is usually the next size up from 3/0; if I remember

 The word fine is what throws you off.  It's Fine for rod building thread. 
  But it's several times the diameter of 3/0 thread.
 
 Put in simple terms, it's much heavier than fly tying thread.   Well, maybe 
 it's about the size of the Kevlar thread that's used for tying deer hair.
 
 I'm glad to see that we are starting to use actual measurements (70 denier, 
 140 denier, etc.) instead of letters.  When we use thread designations of 
 3/0, 8/0, A, D, etc., we're still working in confusion like we were back in 
 the days of  HGH designations for fly lines.

Re: Picric - was RE: [VFB] colour chart / silk threads / silk floss

It's not a high explosive though, and when kept moist, there is no risk of 
shock-induced deflagration (if I remember correctly, picric acid is incapable 
of detonation). The main risk is explosive decomposition of dried material 
trapped between container and screw cap...

 Picric acid is 2,4,6-tri-nitrophenol.  As with other highly nitrated

Re: Picric - was RE: [VFB] colour chart / silk threads / silk floss

[Henk Verhaar]

It's dye capabilities it gets from the phenolic hydroxy group, which is quite 
acidic, due to those electron-pushing nitro groups. This makes the phenol 
reactive towards amino groups, freely available in keratin and other skin 
proteins...

Sloppy working with picric acid makes for permanently stained fingers.

grayling jump clear of the water, to land on top of fly and grab it in

 Salmon, trout, whitefish and grayling all share a common ancestor.
 The are the species in the Salmonidae family.

 Some grayling have an iridescent coloration.  It's a very pretty fish.

 I actually have caught grayling while fishing in Wales.

 Grayling and whitefish also share a smell.  It's a pretty distinctive
 odor, not necessarily objectionable, but different and recognizable.

 Grayling will sometimes suspend themselves almost vertically drifting

[VFB] Re: tools and books question

[Henk Verhaar]

Wapsi sells strips of Primo Deer Hair, resold under different brands.  
Usually excellent for large spun-and-clipped patterns. Or try a local  
hunter or taxidermist...

Cheers

 I cut as close to the skin as I can but the hair doesn't seem to be  
 long enough to make a big mouse.
 After doing a little trimming, it is only about 3/4 in diameter.
 Can any one tell me where to get some good spinning hair that will  
 make a mouse around 1 1/2 in diameter?

 Thank you,

 Here is a Deer Hair Minnow that is packed with just finger nails. It  
 is packed tight enough to sand it with 320 sandpaper.

 I haven't tied too many flies w/ packed hair, but when I have I've  
 found the packer to be very helpful, especially when trying to tie  
 several in a short period of time. I've seen people tie w/out one,  
 pulling the hair turns w/ thumb  forefinger of the left hand while  
 they work, but I'm not good enough to get it as tight as I like w/ 
 out it. Stacker is nice too  neither one was very expensive.

 Hello Everybody
I just have a quick question about tools, the first one is the  
 hair stacker and the hair packer are they really worth it?? I like  
 to spin hair and i tie up some basic mice patterns for browns here  
 in oregon so what i want to know is the expense really worth it lol...

 the next one is about a book i really cant see spending 100  
 dollars on the bench side referance i have been looking for it  
 cheaper but to no avale lol i like to read about tying and trying  
 all new things and trying to mix and match here and there all  
 diffrent things lol so is the book really woth it or is there a  
 place that i can get a used one that is still in decent shape to be  
 read lol ok talk to everybody later

[Henk Verhaar]

Well, as far as the list goes, IF it dies (which I don't expect any  
time soon ;-) ), someone else will surely step in and take over. In  
this day of ubiquitous Linux/OSX/Other *nix machines and widespread  
broadband connections anyone can run a mailserver from home...
