The best thing I have found for just cylindrical bodies is a commercial paper punch. I took mine to the University where I work and in a few minutes I have a bagful of beautifully cut bodies. Obviously, this does not cut bodies for frogs, mayfly wings, etc. But it was fast and quick.

OK,,,now that Ive got the sheets glued together,,I need some ideas on cutting out the cylinder shapes that are described in the Fly Tying magazine for cutting out yellow- jacket bodies. I believe they were calling it the hammer fly????But I do have the black,yellow, black, yellow and black all glued together and dried,,ends up being about 1/2 thick. I was considering empty bullet shells,,22cal, 38cal. and maybe 9mm. Any other ideas??Thanks for your timeRay
