I learned very quickly that you need to keep hold of the material whilst twisting the rope, otherwise you basicaly have to start over. I have pretty strong hands so didn't experience any soreness though! Rope dubbing is an interesting technique. the more you use it, the more you like it! Try some other natural material such as rabbit or squirrel; I think you'll really enjoy how they dub with this technique! Good luck mastering rope dubbing, Wayne --- On Tue, 11/23/10, Chappy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Chappy <[email protected]> Subject: [VFB] Rope Dub Muscles To: "VFB Mail" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 10:29 AM Hi, I played around with Australian Possum - fur and hair cut right from the skin and rope dubbed. I like the results but without a binder this stuff is somewhat tough to work with. I have about 20% of the material on the top of the desk when done as there is nothing I added to bind it together. But I achieved my goal. However, when I was done I thought I had arthritis - which I don't. My fingers were burning with pain. So Don, as a master of rope dub - I went back and viewed your DVD. You have mighty fingers and I noticed you have little 'guns' on each one - similar to my biceps...lol. I also saw a little anchor tattooed on the side of your index finger. Were you in the Navy? (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Tell us about those rope dub muscles and how much more practice do I need before the pain goes away. What I found interesting is until you have a tight rope on the thread, you really can't let go - at least with Possum. At that point I used the dubbing clamp to spin and give my fingers a little break. Looks like I need more practice - but I was very pleased with the results.
