[VFB] Re: Step-by-steps... comments?
I liked both, the parallel weave in particular. One way to solve the end of weave process is to have the thread tied in where you end ahead of time, hold both strands of woven material in one hand wrap thread w/ the other. As to the touch dubbing, I'll try it on smaller hooks. Not sure why, but I've gotten away from waxing thread when dubbing. This would save some time.

Not sure if I got you right there, but if you mean having the thread tied in during the weaving process, this is hard... since one hand will be moving back and forth under the hook and the bobbin will be hanging in the way. Holding both strands in one hand and wrapping with the other when securing it, is on the other hand nothing different from what I mean... once the thread has been tied in again. /Nick On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 3:14 PM, J Balmer jbal...@a5.com wrote: I liked both, the parallel weave in particular.

[VFB] Re: Step-by-steps... comments?
Don't have the bobbin hanging directly below the hook, have the thread straight out from the hook similar to the way the Nor vise is setup, w/ the bobbin closer to your chest instead of off to the right. It might be a little more awkward, but it would make finishing the weave easier. Think of it as though the hook shank extended out beyond the eye; you're crossing under the thread the same way you're already crossing under the hook.

[VFB] Re: Step-by-steps... comments?
MeddelandeNick, 1. You are right on with the weave, but I would include more photos with how to end the process or different ways to end up. One can be with hook-shank left over (stonefly tail), using one material to batten down the other down and make the underbody on the front portion. Or, for a weave-to-eye fly, like a soft-hackle, re-attaching the thread to tie both ends down with enough room to finish up. I do a double (or single) rope-dub variation of this weave. Simple, fast, weighted, and durable. The advanced rope-dub DVD #2 will have all of the steps for this. The other weave I use is a overhand knot weave. Here's just one tutorial: http://www.hatchesmagazine.com/page/month/370 2. On the touch-dub, it's a very good technique if you use a dubbing that is suitable for it, like you did- nice job, Jester. I still use the rope-dub to get the same effect with many different dubbings, including synthetics. Again, see DVD #2. ;o) DonO - Original Message - From: Niclas Runarsson To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 5:23 AM Subject: [VFB] Step-by-steps... comments?

[VFB] Re: Step-by-steps... comments?
The Nor Vise has a vertical rod opposite the vise jaws w/ a button on the side. When you hang the bobbin over the button, the thread is straight out from the hook, leaving both hands free to manipulate material. Also makes dubbing easy, because you spin the vise head. For your weaving process, all I have to do is turn the pedestal that the vise is on sideways.

If you mean hanging it up using the bobbin cradle, then the cradle's horizontal part under the jaws, will block the way completely and you won't be able to get any material under the hook. /Nick -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] För J Balmer Skickat: den 12 februari 2009 16:51 Till: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Ämne: [VFB] Re: Step-by-steps... comments?
