Really enjoy your videos, thanks.
On a side note, I'm 64 years old, and if I ever grow up .... I want a Man Cave like you have !
its a disaster, ive given up on trying to ever be organized. my kids will have one heck of an auction.
Hi, thanks for the tip. I used the UV resin you suggested and it works great, and a great price. On the thread, have you ever seen the clear thread it looks very fine and are hard to break. Have you tried any of these? their at hobby stores and Walmart. Not sure they would take head cement and look slippery.
I have not used them. I will do some research and see how they work.
I've used them a few times. Yeah they're not like regular thread,they will unwind if you let any slack into the thread. IDK how it reacts with head cement as I don't use it but it works well with two 5-6 wrap whipfinishes
Would that not just be 4-8 lb mono? :D
If your adhesive of choice doesn't stick, try some very fine sandpaper or 0000 steel wool. If you're winding it onto a standard size bobbin, pinch it as it goes with a bit of paper/wool between your fingers to give it some tooth. Might work and might be cheaper than the 'clear thread' which might very well just be fishing line.
Sewing thread is measured in TEX. Both tex and denier are measurements of weight. While officially 1 tex = 9 denier, sewing thread is wound much tighter than fly tying thread, so the diameter is correspondingly smaller. The Maxilock serger thread in 27 tex or 243 denier. But when the diameter is measured, it is much closer to 120 denier fly tying thread. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this info, you sent me down a rabbit hole of information. I didn't know all the measurements in thread, so I learned a lot from this. Thanks
how do you know your polyester thread is 100%, does it state that on the product? Was always curious but from my google search it tells me flytying thread is generally thinner and stronger for a thinner diameter and craft store threads are a combination of materials. Not sure haven't tested but sounds like craft store thread is generally completely fine to use?
the thread in the video is 100 poly, its label states it. It does have a thicker diameter but works fine for certain patterns.
What diameter are these sewing threads you use for fly tying & is Polyester the best. At my tackle store it’s about $6.95 AUS for a standard size spool of fly tying thread. So I would love a cheaper option. Cool video thanks.
I like nylon when I can find it, but polyester is easier to find and works ok for me. I like to get 140 denier for some stuff that I build up with thread, on smaller stuff I use 70 denier. Another option for getting it in bulk, is wig weaving thread. You can get smaller diameter nylon thread.
Your videos are a blessing for sure. You are heaven sent my friend. Thank you. God bless.
Glad you like them!
I don't flyfish but I do make flies for Panfish that I use for Catfish bait. I also make jigs for about anything else. I use the embroidery thread now an again and 4lb braided fishing line for my Sea Witches. All I use to wind them on an empty spool or bought wooden spool is a 3-4" 1/4" bolt and nut. Slide bolt through spool,hand tighten nut down to spool and chuck it up in a drill. You can run a small hook,eyelet,etc. into the bottom of a shelf or a nail in the wall and wrap the thread/line over it an them all you is run the drill and guide the thread/line on. It works a lil better when you also mount the donor spool on a nail,dowel,etc. horizontally so it also turns when you load the empty spool.
I also remove fishing line the same way but with a soda/water bottle. Drill a hole in the cap,use another bolt an nut and chuck it up in a drill. Keep the lid and toss the bottle in the garbage.
I’ve been looking at those , I just didn’t know if the empty spool would fit in the bobbin holder?
I really like the transfer thread idea, as I use a lot of tying thread, but where did you get the transfer kit box ? Hobby Lobby, or a similar store ?
Thank you,
