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 use empty shell casings .22, .270, .30-30, 9mm,
.32-20, .32, .357, .38, .38-40, .44, .44-40, .45, .410, 28 ga,
20ga, 16ga and 12ga. I'll be ready for them snakes next time I go to Pine
Creek, Murf.
You going to scare them away with the ka-boom or make a mince meat pie?
Monongahela rattlers are protected so you'd better pick em up and look at
the markings first. I stepped on a nest of em one April down below the
Mine Hole on Cedar and killed one by accident with my foot. Took
it home in a baggie and identified it by the markings. Glad it
wasn't the momma! (Murf)
The .22 would be best for ant bodies. .32 cal would make a good bee
body. After that I use them to make foam circles for poppers, sliders,
beetles etc. Knock primers out, makes it easier to get plugs
out. bought set of punches from Harry Steeves for $15, but hardly use
them. You can make ants using foam circles. .22 for the front and
9mm/.32 for back.
heart shaped punches picked up at craft store Good for poppers, sliders
or lips for diving flies. To cut triangles, get a spark plug
gapping tool. Use thickest blades for template.
